For placement of combustible housewrap or building pa-
per and non-combustible sheathing for the outside wall
see Figures 7.5 and 7.6.
Special care should be taken when choosing building
materials for weather proofi ng (i.e. building wraps, seal-
ant tapes, liquid sealants, rubberized fl ashings, etc.).
All sealant materials or building wraps installed within 6
inches of the top and 1 inch on the sides of the fi replace
surround must be approved to a minimum temperature
of 225º F continuous exposure. Consult the material’s
manufacturer to ensure product compliance.

* NOTE: All fi nishing materials on top of exterior sheathing
must be non-combustible for a minimum of 10-7/8 inches
above and 2-3/4 inches on both sides of the exterior face of
the appliance. This non-combustible fi nishing material can
be up to a maximum of 6 inches thick (6 inches maximum
horizontal overhang) to allow for brick and stone alcoves
(see Figure 10.5).
** NOTE: Combustible house wrap or building paper MUST
NOT extend over the outside of non-combustible sheath-
ing, and MAY extend over the fl ashing behind non-com-
bustible sheathing a maximum of 1 inch. Use high temp
silicone or sealant recommended by the manufacturer of
the housewrap to seal between combustible sheathing
house wrap and non-combustible sheathing. The sealant
material used within 6 inches of the top and 1 inch on the
sides of the fi replace surround must be approved to a
minimum temperature of 225º F continuous exposure.

Risk of Fire
• Non-combustible clearances must be main-
tained.
• Sheetrock, wood or other combustibles must
NOT be used as sheathing or facing in the non-
combustible zone.
• See Sections 5 and 10 for proper clearances.
• See Section 1 for combustible /non-combus-
tible defi nitions.
Once the appliance is in place use enough high tempera-
ture silicone sealant or manufacturer specifi ed sealant
(approved to a minimum of 225º F) to make a water tight
seal between outdoor surround and exterior sheathing.
Face the perimeter of the appliance with non-combustible
sheathing over shroud fl anges and fl ashing. See Figure
