It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with
this fi replace system. Objects placed in front of the
fi replace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from
the front face.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to
accommodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor
materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not
planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower
access door and the installation of many decorative
fl ashing accessories.
NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed
insulation or vapor barrier coming in contact with
the fi replace body, it is recommended that the walls
of the fi replace enclosure be “fi nished” (i.e.: drywall/
sheetrock), as you would fi nish any other outside
wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to
combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the
front of the fi replace but must not cover any of the
black face-areas of the fi replace. Non-combustible
material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude
in these areas but must not restrict glass door re-
moval.
INSTALLING STANDOFFS
Both the BCDV36CF(G) and BCDV42CF are supplied with two standoffs.
For convenience, the standoffs have been shipped fl at and located on the top
at the front. Before framing ensure the standoffs are bent up and screwed
into place ensuring a height of 4.5".

NOTE: The information and dimensions in this section represent the
minimum clearances to combustible material.
It is best to frame your fi replace after it is positioned and the vent system
is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.
BCDV36CF(G) ONLY: A steel header is required if using
optional clean face surround.
