Solution 2.5-ZC Fireplace Installation and Operation Manual
7 Clearances to Combustible Material
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to
procedures set out in safety standards ULC S610 (Canada) and UL127 (U.S.A.). When the
fireplace is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances
specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal
operating conditions.
No part of the fireplace may be located closer to combustibles than the minimum
clearance figures given.
The following clearances meet the minimum requirements for a safe installation.
Side wall
: 17" (43 cm) measured from the inside door frame.
Side mantle
: 3" minimum
Wall in front of fireplace
: 48"
Ceiling
: 80 in. (2.03 m) measured from the base of the fireplace.
Fireplace enclosure
:
Back wall
: 0"
Sides
: 0"
Floor (under the fireplace)
: 0"
Chimney
: 2" (50 mm)
Combustible shelf
:
50" (127 cm) measured from the base of the fireplace for a shelf with a depth of 6"
(15 cm) or less.
56" (142 cm) measured from the base of the fireplace for a shelf with a depth of more
than 12" (30 cm).
7.1 Locating the Certification Label
Since the information given on the certification label attached to the appliance always
overrides the information published in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues,
flyers, magazines and/or web sites), it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and
compliant installation. In addition, you will find information about your fireplace (model,
serial number, etc.). You can find the certification label under the fireplace, behind the
bottom louver.
