It is best to frame your fi replace after it is positioned and the
vent system is installed. Use 2x4’s and frame to local build-
ing codes.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fi replace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fi replace enclosure
be “fi nished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would fi nish any
other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance
to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension, but the fi re-
place should be raised to be fl ush with either the hearth or
the fi nished fl oor.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accom-
modate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e.
tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere
with the removal of the hearth strip, which must be removed
to access the fi rebox.
Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a mini-
mum of 48” away from the front face.
For convenience, the stand-offs have been shipped fl at.
Before framing, ensure the stand-offs are opened and
screwed in place.
IMPORTANT:
The Park Ave. requires
a minimum inside enclo-
sure height of 72”.
For temperature require-
ments, this area must be
left unobstructed.
It is recommended that
the enclosure be ventilat-
ed at the top and bottom
to circulate the hot air.
Non-combustible
finishing material
(ie: cement board,
brick, stone, tile)
may be used to fi n-
ish the front of the
unit.
