Framing and Finishing

IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE: Before
placing unit into final position - it is important to
know the total thickness/height of finished hearth
(tile, carpet, etc.). The base of the fireplace should
be level or higher than the finished hearth height.
1) Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush with the front of
the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from
1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation"
Section
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing
material - see next page for dimensions.

***NOTE: If using the optional Vignette finishing
trim, this can be installed as a 3-sided or 4 sided
finish trim. If choosing to use this as a 4 sided fin-
ish trim the framing would need to be increased in
height by 1-1/4" inches minimum in order for this to
fit. This must be to the finished floor. (Example: 34
3/4" framing height + 1-1/4" to bottom of 4-sided
finishing trim +1/2 thick finished floor = 36 1/2"
total framing height
NOTE: If this is an outside corner, the minimum
distance between the vent and the outside corner
is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or
12" (30cm) with Rigid Vent termination cap. (For
example Dura-Vent).

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local
installation codes. (Do not insulate the
fireplace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other suitable
combustible finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be
completely enclosed in a chase.
The clearance on top of the unit is
0" to the standoffs so combustible
building materials can be laid
directly on top of the standoffs.
You must maintain clearance from
the vent to combustible materials
for flex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to
"Clearances" Section).
