Clearance to Combustible
Materials
A combustible material is anything that can
burn (i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.).
These surfaces are not limited to those that are
visible and also include materials that may be
behind non-combustibles.
If you are unsure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. "Fire
Resistant" materials are considered combustible:
they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. "Fire-rated"
sheet rock is also considered combustible.
The following clearances and hearth specifications
are the minimum requirements for installation into
a masonry or factory built fireplace. Mantel and
wall clearances will vary, depending upon the
fireplace facing and riser height, if needed. Use the
tables and illustrations in figs. 4 and 5 to determine
the minimum clearances for your installation.
Hearth Requirements
Hearth protection in front of the GI 350 DV must be
composed of any noncombustible material. It must
extend 16" forward of the firebox glass panel and
extend 18" to either side of the fireplace centerline.
