The Esteem Fireplace is designed to be framed
at zero clearance to combustible material with
conventional lumber. Ensure framing dimensions
are maintained during construction.
FRAMING
In planning the installation for the Esteem Fireplace, it is necessary
to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent system
and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations
are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a corner, a built-in wall or a
wall projection (see Fig. #7). Due to high temperatures, do not locate
this appliance in areas of high traf c or near furniture or draperies.
Once the nal location has been determined, frame a minimum
opening of 34-1/4 inches wide, 32-3/4 inches high and 12-1/4 inches
deep with conventional 2 x 4 lumber (see Fig. #5 and #6). It may
be preferred to frame the replace after it is positioned and the vent
system is installed. Heavier construction may be required for some
installations, consult local building codes for speci c requirements.
Ensure framing dimensions are maintained during construction.
Bend out the two nailing tabs on each side and secure the replace
to framing with screws or nails (see Fig. #4). The tabs will allow for
a nishing wall up to 3/4 inch thick, if thicker, unit must be spaced
outwards accordingly. The wall may be nished up to the replace
facing with combustible material (see Fig. #3).
Fig. # 3d
Extended
Top Standoffs
The minimum clearances from the appliance to combustible surfaces
are shown on Fig. #2 and 3. Adequate clearances around air openings and combustion air supplies are required.
Chase Insulation: When installing this replace against a non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the outer walls
be insulated to same degree as other exterior walls. Do not place
replace directly against the insulation. Cover the insulation and
plastic vapour barrier with a solid surface, such as drywall (sheetrock).
Consult local codes.

Vent system components approved for use with the Esteem Fireplace
are shown in Appendix A. The Esteem Fireplace is also tested and
certi ed for use with SIMPSON DURA-VENT DIRECT VENT GS pipe
or SECURITY CHIMNEYS SECURE VENT system (see Optional
Venting section).
NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE
USED.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used.
Refer to Fig. #26 and 27 for details. For optimum performance and
ame appearance, keep the vent length to a minimum. Connections
between each vent system component must be tightly joined and
sealed, and secured with sheet metal screws at each joint. A horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4" rise for every 2 ft. of run towards
the termination.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 1 INCH FROM THE VERTICAL AND
HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF THE PACIFIC ENERGY FLEX VENT
SYSTEM AND 1-3/4 INCHES FROM THE SIMPSON DURA-VENT
GS AND SECURITY SECURE VENT SYSTEM.
Exterior wall opening:
It is preferred to cut an opening between two building framing members
to avoid any extra framing. Consult your local building codes prior to
proceeding. The vent kit will accommodate a maximum wall thickness
of 11-1/2 inches.
Having determined the vent terminal location, cut and frame an opening
of 10-1/2 inches. The opening may be round or square. Height of
the opening will vary with each installation. As the horizontal vent run
increases, so does the minimum vertical rise (see Fig. #26).

IMPORTANT: When locating this hole it should be noted that
the bottom of the vent terminal must be a MINIMUM of 12 inches
above grade, the top of the vent terminal must be a MINIMUM
of 16-1/4 inches below combustible material such as a deck or
roof overhang and the side of the terminal must be a MINIMUM
of 5-3/4 inches away from an adjacent wall (see Fig. #34).
