• Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero
clearance installations. Wall or framing material
can be placed directly against any exterior sur-
face on the back, sides or top of your fireplace,
except where standoff spacers are integrally
attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing material. See framing
details on page 7.
• If you plan on installing a television or enter-
tainment center recessed above your fireplace, it
is recommended that you maintain a minimum
18" above top of louver opening.
• When locating termination cap, it is important
to observe the minimum clearances shown in
Figure 7, page 8.
• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra
framing by positioning your fireplace against
an already existing framing member.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or
siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with 450º F
(232º C) heat-resistant paint to coordinate with
the exterior finish.
• There must not be any bstruction such as
bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or util-
ity buildings within 24" from the front of the
termination cap.
• Do not locate termination cap where excessive
snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear
vent termination area after snow falls to prevent
accidental blockage of venting system. When
using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards
vent termination area.
• For horizontal installations above 2,000 feet, it
is recommended that a 12" extension pipe be
added before starter elbow and a round hori-
zontal termination be used (see High Altitude
Installation, page 17).
