This appliance is designed to be recessed into combus­tible framing with non-combustible material pre-installed
on top and side. Drywall or combustible materials (mini­mum 1/2 inch thick) are designed to contact the non­combustible material/appliance as called out in Section
10 Finishing.

This appliance has been thoroughly tested to minimize
drywall cracking and/or the protrusion of screws “screw
pops" when framed as shown below.

Framing should be done in a manner similar to framing a
window or door: Double-2x4/2x6 as a header for horizon­tal strength and utilizing Jack or Trimmer stud fastened to
the King studs for vertical strength.

If elevating the appliance, the base of the appliance
should also be constructed in a similar manner to prevent
settling.

Refer to Figures 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 for information regarding
framing when the Passive Heat Kit is installed. Install the
Passive Heat Kit per the instructions provided with the kit.

Note: Refer to Section 10 for important information
related to facing, drywall specications and decorative
barrier front information.

C. Constructing the Appliance Chase

NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on
carpeting, vinyl, or any combustible material other than
wood.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space

clearances to appliance and vent pipe:

• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.

• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with appliance or chimney.

• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and

a re.

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.

NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling restops and wall shield
restops and construction of the chase may vary with the

type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.

NOTICE: Where required by code, install only sprin­kler heads with a sprinkler activation temperature

classied as Extra High.

• Sprinklers inside of chase: Keep sprinkler head away
from vent and chimney.

• Heat Management applications: Maintain 36 inches of
clearance to openings from which heat is discharged.
such as convection slots, passive heat registers, heat
zone registers, etc. Refer to Section 6.E for Heat
Management options allowed for this appliance.

Chases should be constructed and insulated in the same
manner as the thermal envelope of the home based on
the code requirements for that climate zone to prevent air
leakage and draft problems. The chase is an extension of
the building thermal envelope.

To further prevent drafts and air leakage, the wall shield
and ceiling restops should be sealed with caulk with
a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should
be sealed with caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continu­ous exposure rating or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the
appliance is being installed on a cement surface, a layer of
plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting
cold up into the room.

Minimum height requirements for an exterior chase on a top­vented appliance are shown in Figure 3.8. Reference Figure

4.4 for additional clearances.

D. Use of Elbows

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent as­pects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. See
Figure 4.5.

Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
On 45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 inch
(216 mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 inch (216 mm) vertical
run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º
elbows. See Figure 4.5.
