Fireplace Dimensions and Locations
Clearance Requirements
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is 1/2 inch (12.5mm).
The metal ends of the fireplace may NOT be recessed
into combustible construction.

Minimum Clearances
from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials
Glass Sides or Ends ......... 36 ................... 914
Floor ................................ 0 ...................... 0
Rear Vent ........................ 1/2 .................... 13
Metal Sides or Ends ......... 1/2 .................... 13
Top................................. 2 1/2................... 64
Ceiling* ............................ 31 ................... 787
* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Step 9).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is
to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the
combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that
secure the unit together.
Minimum Clearances

For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination
clearance diagrams on pages 20 and 21 in this manual.
Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace
is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.
WARNING: FRAMING DIMENSIONS ASSUME
!
USE OF 1/2 INCH THICK W ALL COVERING
