Framing Your Gas Fireplace - Marquis MQHBZDV3636 Instruction Manual

MQHBZDV3636 - Framing for your Gas Fireplace
Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fire-
place against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recom -
mended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable
insulation codes. Drywall must be installed over insulation to
prevent contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fire-
place framing dimensions specified (See Framing Diagrams). Bend
nailing tabs forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into
framed enclosure. This allows for 1/2" in front of framing tabs for
finishing materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the
bottom, sides and top of fireplace. (louvered models only)
For Propane Horizontal Installations the venting must be a minimum of one foot vertical off the flue before the elbow on any
horizontal runs of one foot or greater. This allows for cleaner combustion and greatly reduces carboning and cleaning of glass.

4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend maintain a mini-
mum of two and a half (2.5") inches above the bend in enclosures.
5. For a fireplace with louvers combustible floor can raise 1"
above the bottom of the fireplace. For a fireplace with
HB36CVCK (Clean view Circulating Kit) floor or hearth can
raise 7" above the bottom of the fireplace with portions
being combustible and non combustible. See drawing on fol-
lowing page.
6. When installing MQHB36SW surround,the fireplace must be
raised a minimum of 3 1/2" above the finished floors, to
accommodate the wall surround. The fireplace may be raised
higher but the 60" clearance measured from the bottom of
the fireplace to the ceiling must be maintained at all times.
(i.e. For an 8 ft. ceiling the unit can be raised only 36 inches.)
