Do not build shelves or cupboards into the area
above the fireplace.
While the fireplace can be installed directly on the floor, a
non-combustible hearth extension is required in front of
the fireplace, that must not be built higher than the bottom
of the fireplace to avoid air flow blockage. It may therefore
be advisable to build the fireplace on a raised platform.
The minimum distance between the edge of the fireplace
and any adjacent wall, at right angles to it, is 21 inches. A
wall projecting at 45° from the outer edge of the fireplace is
allowed; projections into this area are permitted. Do not
install into any area having a height less than 6 feet (ceil-
ing to fireplace bottom, excluding hearth height).
See Section on Framing.The location of windows, doors
and the traffic flow in the room where the stove is to be
located should be considered. If possible, you should
choose a location where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES:
Fireplace framing - 0" to stand-offs (top, rear, & sides)
3
Fireplace finishing - 3½" on sides, 6 / " on top.
4
Recommended: 6 / " sides and top
Factory Built Chimney - 2"
Hot Air Gravity Ductwork Insulation - 1"
TOP OF UNIT TO CEILING:
32½" - enclosure must have ventilation
(Ceiling height less than 7 feet)
44½" - enclosure does not require ventilation
(Ceiling height 7 feet or more)
Clearance from combustibles to furnace hot air
duct work as specified by the furnace manufac-
turer is satisfactory. No additional clearances are
required.
