When Planning for the installation of the fire-
place, the framing height must be increased
from 46-1/2" to 47-1/4", when installing the
drain pan. An additional space below the
fireplace will also be required to plumb a
drain line.
Step 1. Seal all joints, gaps and corners around
the bottom of the drain pan before
positioning the fireplace on its location
(Figure 2).
Step 2. On the exposed drain hole, install a PVC
threaded coupling reducer, 3/4" x 1/2"
going from the top of the pan down
through the hole. Apply a silicone-
based sealant around the base and
threads before installation.
Step 3. Holding the reducer coupling with a
wrench, thread a 3/4", 90 degree, PVC
elbow to the reducer until it is tight to
the metal.
Step 4. Add additional piping to route the drain
to an appropriate location.
NOTE: To assure proper drainage, the fireplace
must be installed on a leveled surface.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearance to combustibles for the
fireplace is as follows; sides and back – 1/2"
(13mm), combustible floor – 0" (0mm), adja-
cent wall 6" (152mm), ceiling – 72" (1829mm).
Refer to Figure 3 on this Page and Figure 21
on Page 14 for more detail.
NOTE: Clearance behind the nailing flange
for both fireplace models is 1/2" (13mm).
NOTE: Adjacent wall considerations are for
an adjacent wall to only a single side. Walls
should not be placed at the minimum distance
on both sides of the fireplace. Allow at least
4 feet on one side of the fireplace.
