Fireplace Size Requirements

A. Minimum Fireplace Opening
Minimum fi replace opening requirements for a standard 3/4
inch deep surround are shown in Figure 5.1. For smaller
openings, an optional 1-1/2 inch deep surround is available
and dimensions are shown in Figure 5.2.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance around air openings and for service access.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat-
ed out of traffi c and away from furniture and draperies.
• The fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory
built fi rebox in order to gain minimum gas insert opening
requirements.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed
