B. Design and Installation Considerations
NOTICE:
Check building codes prior to installation.
•
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
•
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
•
Before installing, determine the following:
-
Where the fireplace is to be installed.
-
The vent system configuration to be used.
-
Gas supply piping.
-
Electrical wiring.
-
Framing and finishing details.
Note: A raised hearth extension built flush
with the fireplace opening or less than 4
in. (102 mm) below the fireplace opening
requires the fireplace be installed on a non-
combustible surface.
-
Whether optional accessories - devices such as a
fan, wall switch or remote control - are desired.

Locating the fireplace in a basement should be avoided.
Locating near frequently opened doors, central heat outlets
or returns, or other locations of considerable air movement
can affect the performance.
Consideration should be given to these factors before de-
ciding on a location.
NOTICE:
In addition to these framing dimensions, also
reference the following section:
•
Clearances (Section 3).
NOTICE:
• Illustrations and photos reflect typical installations and
are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY.
•
Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale.
•
Actual installation/appearance may vary due to individual
design preference.
•

NOTICE:
A minimum 1/2 in. air clearance at the back and
sides of the fireplace assembly must be main-
tained.
Chimney sections at any level require a 2
in. minimum air space clearance between
the framing and chimney sections.
