Framing - Napoleon Vittoria GD19N Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

20
It is best to frame your fi replace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building
codes.
NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fi replace body, it is
required that the walls of the fi replace enclosure be "fi nished" (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would fi nish any other outside
wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
To install the fi replace face fl ush with the fi nished wall, position the framework to accommodate the thickness of the fi nished
wall.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fi replace system.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accommodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile,
carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of
many decorative fl ashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
