Page 18: General Clearances
General Clearances Viewing Area Clearances The viewing area clearance zone is an area that extends perpendicular from the fireplace viewing area. The depth of the viewing area clearance zone depends on the combustibility of the material in question. Distance is measured from the fireplace heat barrier. Non-Combustible Materials Must be minimum 12 inches from fireplace viewing area. - Page 19 Firebox Clearance Maintain a 2-inch clearance from the back and/or side of the fireplace (depending on the model) to any material. Firebox Clearance Per Model Front & Traditional Tunnel Corner: Left Side Corner: Ride Side Space Creator Three Side Clearance to Ceiling Maintain a 12-inch clearance from the top of the fireplace viewing area to the lowest point of the ceiling or to any building materials.
- Page 20 Air Flow Clearance A 4-inch clearance from the vent openings on the top of the firebox is required. Framing and/or building material is NOT permitted in this area. Doing so will block the air vents on the fireplace and cause the entire surrounding to overheat. Framing Clearance Maintain a minimum inches of space between the framing and the face of the fireplace.
- Page 21 Clearance to a Side Wall The fireplace viewing area is zero-clearance to a side wall. A side wall is defined as a wall that meets the viewing area at a 90° angle. Corner Side Walls (Top View) Alcove Side Walls (Top View) = Building Material The temperature on the side wall can get as high as 150°F above ambient temperature.
