Plan Wall Finish

Non-Combustible Materials Specifi cations
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials
are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile,
concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination
thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 °C shall be considered
non-combustible materials.
Combustible Materials Specifi cations
Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or other material that
can ignite and burn, whether fl ame proofed or not,
or plastered or unplastered shall be considered
combustible materials.
Non-combustible cement board
The H6 fi replace requires a 1/2" (13 mm) thick non-
combustible cement board or equivalent, to be used as
a wall surface immediately above the unit—see dia-
gram for minimum coverage.
Extending the cement board well beyond the mini-
mum shown will help avoid cracking due to diff erential
expansion of materials. Pre-drill cement board with
oversized holes and do not over-tighten screws to
avoid cracking due to heat expansion.
Standard gypsum wall board may be used beyond the
perimeter of the cement board although it is preferable
not to change
materials to help avoid cracking.
Non-combustible fi nishing over
cement board
Additional non-combustible material such as tile, etc.,
may be applied over top of the cement board or you
may choose to leave it fi nished clean with no tile, etc.—
see page 40.
Be aware that a surround is always required and that
the wall fi nish thickness must be taken into account for
all installations other than the Fixed Framing Kit 1430.
All the other surrounds, 1435 and 1440, will accept wall
fi nish tucked under their edge up to approximately 2"
thick.
