WALL ENCLOSURE ROUGH OPENING

(APPLIES TO BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL VENTING 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 cover-

ing thickness and fireplace facing materials. If using a hearth,

adjust rough opening size as necessary to maintain at least the

minimum clearance requirements.

IMPORTANT: NON-COMBUSTIBLE FACING MATERIAL MAY BE

APPLIED OVER (BUT NOT DIRECTLY TO) FIREPLACE FACE.

THIS WILL PREVENT THE FACING MATERIAL FROM FALLING

OFF DUE TO EXPANSION OF THE FACE WHEN HEATED. DO NOT

OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF VENTILATION AIR.

NOTE: Provide adequate clearance in front of fireplace to oper-

ate lower grill, open and close optional decorative doors / full door

faces, access the control valve, installation of gas line, fan, etc.

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT UPPER AND LOWER

GRILL OPENINGS. ROOM AIR ENTERS THROUGH THE

LOWER PASSAGE, IS HEATED AND EXITS THROUGH THE

UPPER PASSAGE. BLOCKING THESE PASSAGES MAY

RESULT IN OVERHEATING, CREATING A POTENTIALLY

HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

Determine the exact position of your fireplace, including hearth height, width, and depth, (if applicable). If possible, place fireplace in such a

manner that the 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.

Build hearth to desired size and height. If a hearth extension is desired, combustible material may be used.

NOTE: Consider height of hearth

finish material (stone, brick, etc.) when building

fireplace platform. The bottom of the fireplace

must be level with finished hearth to allow for

lower grill operation and proper fit of optional

decorative full door faces.
