Fireplace Placement Requirements

Minimum Framing Dimensions

The fireplace requires a 1/2" space between the fireplace and the framing members (or other
materials) along the sides and back of the fireplace. These stand-offs may contact the framing
members but no material may be placed between the stand-offs.

Route the electrical line to a position

to the right rear of the fireplace.

If using an elbow directly off the fireplace,

the vent will be centered 41-3/4" above

the base of the fireplace.

1/2" Clearance to the front, 0" to the sides, 1" below,

and 2" above the vent to combustibles.

The fireplace enclosure must be a minimum

48" above the base of the fireplace. NOTE:
