Non-Combustible Cement Board

The L2 Linear fi replace requires a 1/2" (13 mm) thick
non-combustible cement board to be used as a wall
surface immediately surrounding the unit's opening—
see diagram for minimum coverage.
Extending the cement board well beyond the minimum
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.
