WALL ENCLOSURE ROUGH OPENING
Determine whether wall surface will be flush with fireplace face (wall and fireplace face will be covered with non-combustible
material such as tile) or, framing will be flush with fireplace face, which results in a flat wall appearance.
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 clearance requirements.
If installing optional #970 Heat Duct Kit, refer to installation instructions on pages 45-47 of this installation manual.
MINIMUM FINISHED OPENING DIMENSIONS
(
APPLIES TO BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL VENTING TERMINATIONS)
47" (1194mm) High x 48-3/4" (1238mm) Wide x 27-1/4" (692mm) Deep.*
*
27-1/4" (692mm) represents minimum distance from front of fireplace to back wall of framing. This is the minimum wall depth required
for wall surface material to cover fireplace front.
If you desire wall surface to be flush with fireplace face, subtract 1/2" (standard drywall depth) from this dimension.
If using another material, adjust accordingly.
Maintain all clearances to combustibles as outlined in this manual.
