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.

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.
