Fireplace Placement Requirements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
A 1/2" clearance is required along the sides and back of the fireplace. The 1/2" stand-offs on the sides
and 6-1/4" stand-offs on the top of the fireplace are designed to separate the fireplace from the
framing members. These stand-offs may contact the framing members but no material may be placed
between the stand-offs.
Gas line (3/8" M.P.T. or 1/2" F.P.T.)
should be routed 6-5/8" behind the
framing opening and 1-7/8" above
the base of the fireplace (see "Gas
Line Connection" for details).
43-1/4"
19-5/8"
46-1/2"
Route the electrical line to a position
at the right rear of the fireplace.
If using a remote control or
thermostat, route the wire to a
location near the gas line (include
an extra 3' length for hookup).
NOTE: if venting directly to the rear,
make sure there is a min. 8-5/8" space
centered behind the fireplace for the
wall thimble. If a 90° elbow is used
directly off of the fireplace, the thimble
will be centered 51-1/4" above the
base of the fireplace.
NOTE: If using the power heat vent,
allow for the duct passage when
framing the enclosure.

produces when determining a location.
