FRAMING

WALL ENCLOSURE ROUGH OPENING

Applies to horizontal and vertical vent terminations: 32-1/4" (819 mm) High x 36-1/2"(927 mm) Wide x 11-1/4" (286 mm) Deep.
IMPORTANT: Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness and fireplace facing materials. If using a hearth, adjust
rough opening size as necessary to maintain at least minimum clearance requirements.
IMPORTANT: Non-combustible facing material may be applied over (but not directly to) fireplace face. This will prevent facing material
from falling off due to heat expansion. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air.
NOTE: Provide adequate clearance in front of fireplace to operate lower grill, open and close optional decorative doors / full door faces,
access components, installation of gas line, fan, etc.
WARNING: Do not obstruct upper and lower grill openings. Room air enters through lower passage, is heated and exits through upper
passage. Blocking these passages may result is overheating, creating a potentially hazardous situation.
Determine exact position of your fireplace, including hearth height, width, and depth, (if applicable). If possible, place fireplace in such a
manner that vent termination will be placed between two studs, eliminating the need for additional framing.
If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare the necessary foundation for the masonry load. When masonry construction is being used, a
lintel (#617) must be used over the top of fireplace to support the added weight.
