Release manual for details.
INSTALLATION
COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are
critical. Combustible mantel clearances from
top of unit are shown in Diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may
be installed at a lower height if the
framing is made of metal studs
covered with a non-combustible
board.
These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch
= 6 inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded
area or higher using the above scale.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on
the mantel and the facing is "heat
resistant" or the paint may discolour.
P95-2 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit
The P95-2 Flat Wall Surround, Hearth Pad and Tile Kit cannot be modified in any way. It must be
installed as manufactured.
FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing ma-
terial (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush 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 page
9 for assembly details.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening is
50-1/8" high x 53-3/8" wide x 21-1/4" deep
(1276mm high x 1346mm wide x 533mm
deep).

UNIT BASE STAND-OFFS
To accommodate varying thicknesses and finishes 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 49” up to 50 1/8”.
In the event that you should choose to use
thinner materials to finish 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 P95-2 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 7
Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath
the unit as shown in the diagram below. Space
the stand-offs centrally, approximately 2 or 21/2 feet apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fireplace itself.)

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 fireplace will
need to be raised to accommodate the brick
thickness. Example: If the
brick is 2" thick, the unit
must be raised 1".

VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P95-2 uses the "balanced flue" technology Coaxial 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.
Not e: 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.
2) Pull out top clip that is still hooked onto glass.

INSTALLATION
SIMPSON DURA-VENT VENTING
The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations.
Many items are offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the
P95-2.
The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are:
1 Horizontal Termination Cap
190o Elbow
1 Flue Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)
Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl
siding standoff, to create a level surface to mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must not
be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness including furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside
surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.
