FIREPLACE FRAMING SPECIFICATIONS
Note-
Venting requirements for rear vent applications in corner installations -
- the horizontal vent length a to b, must not exceed 28 inches (711 mm)
Framing should be constructed of
2x4 or larger lumber.
*These dimensions occur when one 45
degree elbow is connected directly to the
appliance collar and the unit moved 1/2
in. (13 mm) into the room. This 1/2 in.
movement is required to achieve a min.
of 5 in (127 mm) in the F dimension.

Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line
from the supply regulator to the area where
the appliance is to be installed per require-
ments outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA 54 - latest edition (USA) or B149 - latest
edition (Canada).
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to
Table 9 for proper sizing of the gas supply line,
if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines must
be routed, constructed and made of materials
that are in strict accordance with local codes
and regulations. We recommend that a quali-
fied individual such as a plumber or gas fitter
be hired to correctly size and route the gas
supply line to the appliance. Installing a gas
supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance
involves numerous considerations of materials,
protection, sizing, locations, controls, pressure,
sediment, and more. Certainly no one unfamiliar
and unqualified should attempt sizing or install-
ing gas piping.

IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100-lbs, if
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting
from an improper installation, such as this, is
not covered under the limited warranty.
