Installation Instructions

Choosing the Location for Your Fireplace

Figure 1 shows some of the many ways your fireplace
may be installed. Consider the traffic pattern in your
room and the location of doors and windows. Moving
air from ceiling fans, open doors and hot air grilles may
cause the flames to soot. If a disturbance is found that
effects the flames, it must be eliminated by turning off
the ceiling fan, closing the door or closing or moving the
hot air register. A corner location may be best where
space is limited.

Your fireplace weighs no more than some of your fine
furniture. If the fireplace is located near a load bearing
wall, additional supports to the foundation will not be
necessary. HEAVY FACINGS SUCH AS BRICK,
STONE, ETC., MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FOUN­DATION SUPPORT.

ALTHOUGH THIS UNIT MAY BE INSTALLED ON
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES, IT MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED ON CARPET OR VINYL.

Fig. 2 Locating the fireplace.

Gas Line

The gas line must be installed before framing in the
fireplace by a licensed gas line installer.

Drafts

Do not locate the fireplace in high traffic areas or areas
exposed to high drafts and winds. Locate the fireplace
away from furniture and draperies.

Fireplace Clearances

The fireplace may be placed directly on a combustible
floor, against a combustible wall at marked clearances
or on a raised wooden platform.

If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised wooden
platform, the platform must be a continuous level
surface. The fireplace must be secured in place so it
cannot shift positions. The nailing flanges on the sides
of the firebox make securing it to the framing easy.
They were designed to allow the installation of 1/2"
wallboard or plywood flush with the face of the fire­place.

Only the header (Fig. 1) may rest on the standoffs on
top of the firebox.

When the fireplace is installed over carpeting, vinyl, tile
or any combustible material other than wood flooring, it
must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
its full width and depth. Alternatively, the carpeting, vinyl
tile, etc., may be removed from beneath the fireplace
before installing. COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST
NOT BE INSTALLED OVER OR TOUCH ANY BLACK
PAINTED SURFACE. DO NOT BLOCK HEAT CIRCU­LATING AIR OUTLETS. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN
POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

Clearances

To ensure a safe installation the following instructions
must be carefully observed.

1. Sidewall Clearances: Clearances from the side of
the fireplace opening to any combustible wall should
not be less than 5". (Fig. 3a)

2. Ceiling Clearances: The ceiling height should not
be less than 42" from the top of the fireplace open­ing.

3. Mantel Clearances:
A. If the fireplace has no mantelpiece, then the heat

resistant material must extend upwards a dis­tance of at least 9¹⁄₂" from the fireplace opening.
(Fig. 3b) A mantel projection must be a minimum
of 24” above the top fireplace opening if a canopy
is not installed.

B. Noncombustible materials used in this installation

such as slate, marble, tile, etc. must be at least
1/2" thick. Do not install a combustible material
behind sheet metal. Failure to use noncombus­tible materials above the opening as specified in
these instructions may cause damage to the
materials used and create a fire hazard.

C. An optional heat reducing canopy is available for

use with the fireplace. Use of this canopy is
optional in order to reduce mantel heights as
shown in Figure 3c. If the canopy is installed, a
combustible mantel piece may project 2” from the
wall at 9¹⁄₂” above the fireplace opening. A 6”
mantel projection at 16” above the fireplace
