Built-In Fireplace Installation - Empire Comfort Systems VFLL38FP30LN-1 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

In planning the installation for the fireplace, determine where the
unit is to be installed and whether optional accessories are desired.
Gas supply piping should also be planned at this time.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. Four (4) corners of the fireplace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
This unit is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure.
This means the combustible material can come in contact with the
firebox.

Built-In Fireplace Installation

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing the
fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of the
fireplace flush with a wall.
Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions show in Figure 4 for a
conventional rough opening. Use dimensions shown in Figure 5
for corner rough opening. Use Figure 6 for an elevated installation.
Be sure to provide support to the bottom of the fireplace. Be sure
to provide gas line for fireplace and electrical power for optional
light assembly.

on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
unit.

facing the appliance, the gas supply will enter on the left-hand

the framing brackets. Note: The framing brackets and drywall
screws are located in the instruction envelope packet.

place top and sides.
