material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1" (32mm)
thick.
Install Top Standoffs & Side Nailing Strips
before unit is slipped into position. See the
"Unit Assembly Prior to Installation" section
for assembly details.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening is
46-3/8" high x 46-1/2" wide x 19-1/2" deep
(1168mm high x 1181mm wide x 495mm
deep).
P90 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit Specifi cations
UNIT BASE STAND-OFFS
To accommodate varying thicknesses and
fi nishes of hearth materials, we have increased
the overall height of the appliance by a further 1
1/8”. This increase is added with the inclusion of
two stand-offs at the bottom of the unit, below the
outer box, taking the overall height of the framing
dimensions from 45-1/4” up to 46-3/8”.
In the event that you should choose to use thinner
materials to fi nish the hearth, you can omit the
stand-offs provided for raising the unit. However,
we recommend that you leave the framing
dimensions as they are in the manual and alter
only the facing requirement by reducing it by the
same distance that you have lowered the unit.
Excalibur® P90 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath the
unit as shown in the diagram below. Space the
stand-offs centrally , approximately 2 or 2-1/2 feet
apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.

4) Note: The unit does not
have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the
unit is 0" to the standoffs
so combustible building
materials can be laid
directly on top of the
standoffs. You must
maintain clearance from
the vent to combustible
materials for both
rigid and fl ex, see the
"Clearances" section.
Note: 48" (11219mm)
is the minimum
height for both fl ex
termination or Rigid
Pipe venting.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements, check
the HeatWave manual for details.
FACING REQUIREMENT
This fi replace requires a non-combustible material extending from the
framing header and sides.
The fl anges on the front face of the fi replace are for a facing thickness
of 1" (25mm).
Facing Over 1" (25mm) Thick
If the facing material is over 1" (25mm) thick (example: brick or river
rock), install the facing around the perimeter of the face. You may wish
to make a face template as shown on the diagram.
FPI offers a cover plate
template. See next page.
NOTE: If using a brick
hearth, the fi replace will
need to be raised to
accommodate the brick
thickness. Example: If the
brick is 2" thick, the unit
must be raised 1".

2) Position bottom of cover plate over pins
located at the bottom of the fi rebox.
UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a fl at position
and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fi replace
top.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the
correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines
until the screw holes in the standoff and the
pre-punched screw holes on the fi replace
top line up.
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P90 uses the "balanced fl ue" technology
Co-axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer liner
draws outside combustion air into the combustion
chamber thereby eliminating the need to use
heated room air for combustion and losing warm
room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be
connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own
separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited.
Pins
3) Bring cover plate towards the unit and hook
top clip over and behind the glass frame.
The top clip may need to be adjusted. Loosen
the 2 screws that secure the top clip to let
the cover plate settle over and behind the
glass frame. Once settled tighten screws.

TO REMOVE:
1) Remove 2 screws that secure top clip. Ensure
to hold cover plate as it will fall forward.
2) Pull out top clip that is still hooked onto
glass.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top
with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite
corners).
Side Nailing Strips
The side nailing strips come attached to the unit.
There are 2 plates, one on the top and bottom
that can be folded out as required.
Plates can be
folded out.
