Minimum Noncombustible Material Clearances

If Not Using Mantel

Note:

 If using a mantel, proceed to If Using Mantel. If not using a

mantel, follow the information below.

You must have noncombustible material(s) above both fireplace
openings. Noncombustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile,
etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch thick. With sheet metal, you must have
noncombustible material behind it. Noncombustible material must
extend at least 8" up (for all models). If noncombustible material is
less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory. See
Figure 5 at right for minimum clearances.

IMPORTANT:

 If you cannot meet these minimum clearances, you

must operate heater with chimney flue damper open. Go to Install-
ing Damper Clamp Accessory for Vented Operation
, page 10.

vented product. If so, you must always run heater with
chimney flue damper open. If running heater with
damper open, noncombustible material above fire-
place opening is not needed. Go to

combustible material must be 4" from the side of the fireplace
cabinet (see Figure 4).

Note:

 When installing your gas logs into a manufactured fire-

box, follow firebox manufacturer’s instructions for minimum
clearances to combustible materials.

B. Clearances from the top of the fireplace opening to the ceiling

should not be less than 42 inches.

If Using Mantel

You must have noncombustible material(s) above the fireplace
opening. Noncombustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.)
must be at least 1/2 inch thick. With sheet metal, you must have
noncombustible material behind it. Noncombustible material must
extend at least 8 inches up (for all models). If noncombustible material
is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory. Even
if noncombustible material is more than 12", you may need the hood
accessory to deflect heat away from your mantel shelf. See Figure 5
and Figures 6 and 7, page 9, for minimum clearances.
