extending past the face of the fireplace is 25 mm (1 in.). The
metal ends of the fireplace may NOT be recessed into
combustible construction.

* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top of
the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figures 37 & 38).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is to
be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the com-
bustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that se-
cure the unit together.
Minimum Clearances
from the Flue Pipe to Combustible Materials
Vertical Sections. ............ 25 ................ 1

For minimum clearances, see the direct flue termination
clearance diagrams on pages 30 and 31 in this manual.

Step 2. Framing the Fireplace

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.
WARNING: FRAMING DIMENSIONS ASSUME
!
USE OF 1/2 INCH THICK WALL COVERING
MATERIALS ON EXTERIOR OF FRAMING ONLY AND
NO SHEETROCK ON INTERIOR OF FRAMING.
