Framing For Your Gas Fireplace - Marquis Solara MQZDV3318 Installation Instructions Manual

MQZDV3318 - Framing for your Gas Fireplace
Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fire-
place against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recom -
mended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable
insulation codes. Drywall must be installed over insulation to prevent
contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace
framing dimensions specified (See Framing Diagrams). Bend nailing
tabs forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed
enclosure. This allows for 1/2" in front of framing tabs for finishing
materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the
bottom, sides and top of fireplace. (louvered models only)
For Propane Horizontal Installations the venting must be a minimum of one foot vertical off the flue before the elbow on any
horizontal runs of one foot or greater. This allows for cleaner combustion and greatly reduces carboning and cleaning of glass.

4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend maintain a
minimum of two and a half (2.5") inches above the bend in
enclosures.
5. For a fireplace with louvers combustible floor can raise 1"
above the bottom of the fireplace. For a fireplace with
33CVCK (Clean view Circulating Kit) floor or hearth can raise
7" above the bottom of the fireplace with portions being com-
bustible and non combustible. See drawing on following page.
6. When installing MQSWF surround, the fireplace must be
raised a minimum of 2 7/8" above the finished floors, to
accommodate the wall surround. The fireplace may be raised
higher but the 60" clearance measured from the bottom of the
fireplace to the ceiling must be maintained at all times. (i.e.
For an 8 ft. ceiling the unit can be raised only 36 inches.)
