Installing the Fireplace
Step 1. Locating the Fireplace
The diagram below shows space and clearance require-
ments for locating a fireplace within a room.

Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,
and Space Requirements
Clearance Requirements
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is 4 inches (102
mm). The back of the fireplace may be recessed 25 1/8
inches (638mm) into combustible construction.
Minimum Clearances
from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials
Glass Front ........................ 36 ..................... 914
Floor .................................... 0 ........................ 0
Rear ................................... 1/2 ..................... 13
Sides ................................. 1/2 ..................... 13
Top .................................... 3 1/2 .................... 89
Ceiling* ............................... 31 ..................... 787
* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 27).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction
is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to
the combustible construction, NOT from the screw
heads that secure the unit together.

*Additional clearance and/or installation of a heat shield is
required above the first 90° elbow (see Figure 12).
For minimum clearances of direct vent termination see Fig-
ures 19 and 20.
Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.

A. ......... 57 1/2"
B. ......... 47 3/4"
C. ......... 25 5/8"
D. ......... 86 5/8"
Framing should be
constructed of 2 X 4
lumber or heavier.
