EM SERIES WOODBURNING FIREPLACE
SIDEWALLS/SURROUNDS
Adjacent combustible side walls must be located a
minimum of 12" from the fireplace opening. See
Figure 7. If you are using a decorative surround con-
structed of combustible material, it must be located

MANTEL
A combustible mantel may be positioned no lower
than 12" above the top of the firebox opening. The
combustible mantel may have a maximum depth of
12". Combustible trim pieces that project no more
than 1 1/2" from the face of the fireplace, can be
placed no closer than 6" from the top and side of the
When planning your fireplace location, the chimney construction and necessary clearances must be considered.
The fireplace system and chimney components have been tested to provide the following flexibility in construc-
tion. The following figures are the minimum distances from the base of the unit.
1. Minimum overall straight height
2. Minimum height with Offset/Return
3. Double Offset/Return minimum height
4. Maximum chimney length between an Offset/Return
5. Maximum unsupported Chimney length between Offset/Return
6. Maximum distance between Chimney Stabilizers
7. Maximum height
8. Maximum straight unsupported chimney height above firebox
USING OFFSETS AND RETURNS
To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may
be offset using a 15° offset/return (SL315) or a 30° off-
set/return (SL330). Perform the following steps to deter-
mine the correct chimney component combination for
your particular installation.
An offset and return may be attached together or a chim-
ney section(s) may be used between an offset and return.
However, the distance between two elbows must never
exceed 12 feet in total length.

Measure how far the chimney needs to be
shifted to enable it to avoid the overhead
obstacle. See Figure 8, dimension "A".

After determining the offset dimension, refer
to Table 1 (page 13) and find the "A" dimen-
sion closest to but not less than the dis-
tance of shift needed for your installation.
