Vermont Castings Seville Insert
Minimum Fireplace Dimensions
The Seville Insert will fit most masonry fireplaces. To
confirm that it will fit yours, measure the lintel depth,
plus the height, width, and depth of your fireplace and
your hearth. Compare them to the measurements in
the accompanying chart. (Fig. 4) If you choose to
install a new hearth over an existing fireplace hearth,
be sure to take its thickness into consideration when
measuring both front and back height of the fireplace.

1. The minimum depth must be maintained from the floor of
the fireplace to a height of 20" (508mm).
2. Though the Seville Insert will fit into larger fireplaces, the
decorative surround panels will not completely cover the
fireplace opening if these dimensions are exceeded. Custom
made trim may be used.
Fig. 4 Use these measurements to confirm that the Seville
Insert will fit into your masonry fireplace.

Clearance Requirements
After confirming that your fireplace is the right size,
check the clearances to combustibles. First mark with
tape the exact center of your fireplace opening on the
hearth. Measure the side clearance from this point.
Measure the top trim and/or mantel clearances from
the finished hearth surface. Measure the front clear-
ance (to furnishings, etc.) from the door glass.
NOTE: The clearance between the insert and the
mantel, top trim and side trim cannot be reduced by
installing shields.
Another clearance requirement to consider is that for
movable items such as tables, bookcases, rugs,
furnishings, and your woodbox. All combustible
materials of this type should be a minimum of 48"
(1220 mm) from the front surface of the insert. Be sure
that family members are aware of this requirement as
well, so they too will keep objects a safe distance from
the insert.

*The mantel and/or top trim must be 9" (230mm) in depth or less.
For the Seville System, measure from the supplied trim panel
forward.
**Where side trim extends more than 2" (50mm) from the fireplace
facing, the side clearance must be no less than 32¹⁄₂" (825mm).
Measure the side clearance (C) from the exact center of your
fireplace opening on the hearth (X). Measure the top trim (B) and/
or mantel clearances (A) from the finished hearth surface. Measure
the front clearance (to furnishings, etc.) from the glass door.
Fig. 5 Observe these clearances to combustible trim.
