WALL ENCLOSURE ROUGH OPENING
IMPORTANT: Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness and fireplace facing materials. If
using a hearth, adjust rough opening size as necessary to maintain at least the minimum clearance requirements.
IMPORTANT: NON-COMBUSTIBLE FACING MATERIAL MAY BE APPLIED OVER THE FACE. TO
PREVENT THE FACING MATERIAL FROM FALLING OFF DUE TO EXPANSION OF THE FACE WHEN
HEATED, DO NOT ATTACH FACING MATERIAL DIRECTLY TO THE FIREPLACE FACE. DO NOT
OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF VENTILATION AIR.
MINIMUM FINISHED OPENING DIMENSIONS
(APPLIES TO BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL VENTING TERMINATIONS)
42"(1067 mm) High x 36-3/8"(924 mm) Wide x 15-3/4" (400 mm) Deep.
1/4" (6 mm) clearance at back and sides of fireplace must be maintained.
NOTE: Provide adequate clearance in front of fireplace to operate lower grill, open and close optional
decorative doors / full door faces, access the control valve, installation of gas line, fan, etc.
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT UPPER AND LOWER GRILL OPENINGS. ROOM AIR ENTERS
THROUGH THE LOWER PASSAGE, IS HEATED AND EXITS THROUGH THE UPPER PASSAGE.
BLOCKING THESE PASSAGES MAY RESULT IN OVERHEATING, CREATING A POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
