Facing Requirements


The fireplace requires non-combustible facing (typically 1/2" thick concrete-board) from the base of
the fireplace to the framing header (min. 78-1/2""). The non-combustible facing must extend to the
framing members on both sides of the fireplace. Do not use drywall or other combustible in this area
(see illustration below).

The non-combustible facing must have an opening for the convection air outlet (see illustration
below).

The non-combustible facing may be attached to the front of the fireplace and non-combustible
framing with screws. Do not penetrate the fireplace more than 3/4".

Facing over 1" thick (brick, thick marble) may be used around the perimeter of the faceplate.
NOTE: leave a minimum of 1/8" between the top of the face and the surrounding facing material to
accommodate removal of the face.
