WALL ENCLOSURE ROUGH OPENING

Determine whether wall surface will be flush with fireplace face (wall and fireplace face will be covered with non-combustible
material such as tile) or, framing will be flush with fireplace face, which results in a flat wall appearance.
Header and top framing studs must be rotated. Please refer to illustration below for guidance.
Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness and fireplace facing materials. If using a hearth, adjust rough
IMPORTANT
opening size as necessary to maintain clearance requirements.
This fireplace may be elevated off floor as shown in illustration below, provided it is properly supported by framing materials
and ceiling clearances are maintained.
If installing optional #970 Heat Duct Kit, refer to installation instructions on pages 29-32 of this installation manual.

WARNING
DO NOT OBSTRUCT UPPER AND LOWER GRILL OPENINGS. ROOM AIR ENTERS THROUGH LOWER PASSAGE, IS HEATED
AND EXITS THROUGH UPPER PASSAGE. BLOCKING THESE PASSAGES MAY RESULT IN OVERHEATING, CREATING A
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
*
19" represents minimum distance from front of fireplace to back wall of framing. This is the minimum wall depth required for wall surface
material to cover fireplace front.
If you desire wall surface to be flush with fireplace face, subtract 1/2" (standard drywall depth) from this dimension.
If using another material, adjust accordingly.
Maintain all clearances to combustibles as outlined in this manual.
