Framing Your Gas Fireplace - Marquis MQHBZDV3636 Instruction Manual

MQHBZDV4236/MQRB4236 - 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)
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.
It is recommended for Propane Horizontal Installations that the venting should 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 carbon-
ing and cleaning of glass. (Does not apply to Back Flue Models).

5. For a fireplace with louvers combustible floor can raise 1"
above the bottom of the fireplace. For a fireplace with
HB42CVCK (Clean view Circulating Kit) floor or hearth can
raise 7" above the bottom of the fireplace with portions being
combustible and non combustible. See drawing on following
page.
6. When installing MQHB42SW surround,the fireplace must be
raised a minimum of 3 1/2" 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.)
