Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,

and Space Requirements

Clearance Requirements

The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by

stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall

extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25 mm).

The back of the fireplace may be recessed 21 1/2 inches

(546 mm) into combustible construction.

For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination

clearance diagrams on pages 23 and 24 in this manual.

NOTE: When venting with a 90

0

elbow as the first vent com-

ponent, an area 3” above the horizontal vent, the entire width

and depth of the firebox must be free of combustibles (See

Figure 3).

Step 2. Framing the Fireplace

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is

set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-

date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-

gram below shows framing reference dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND

VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING

DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.

* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top

of the unit, excluding the standoffs and collars (see

Figure 28).

The distance from the unit to combustible construction

is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to

the combustible construction, NOT from the screw

heads that secure the unit together.
