finished wall (like drywall finish). It must
not be installed against a vapor barrier or
exposed insulation (see Figure 5).

particle board or drywall can be in direct
contact with the fireplace standoffs. Two
inch (50mm) clearance to combustibles
must be kept around the chimney.

air inlets as this will cause the fireplace to
