Fireplace Placement Requirements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
We recommend installing the
shaded framing members
after installing the chimney.
Arrange the framing
members so there is not a
vertical member directly in
the center of the opening
where it would interfere with
pipe clearances.
26"
Header
(install veritcally to
ensure proper pipe to
header clearance)
A firestop is required at the top of
the fireplace enclosure or ceiling
level (whichever is lower).
Min. 4-1/2"
NOTE: make sure the
enclosure is wide enough to
accommodate the blower
(see the section"Blower" for
details).
The fireplace enclosure must not be
less than 81" above the base of the
fireplace.
• If the fireplace is raised, the
enclosure height must be raised to
maintain the 81".
• Do not build into this area.
• Do not slope the walls inward.
• The header, vertical framing
members, and all interior wall
surfaces may protrude a maximum
4" into this area.
50"
50-1/2"
•
The fireplace uses 1/2" standoffs on the back and sides and 4" stand-offs on the top to space the
fireplace away from framing members or walls. These stand-offs may contact the framing members or
walls but do not place insulation or other material in the space between the stand-offs and fireplace.

Travis Industries
recommends the chase
around the fireplace be
insulated. This insulation
should only be placed
between the framing
members and secured so
it does not fill the space
between the fireplace and
standoffs.
Bend this bracket down
on each side and nail it
to the floor, securing the
fireplace in position.
These lifting handles are
removed (use a 7/16" wrench)
once the fireplace is in place.
Standoffs (also
located on back)
The fireplace (and
firebox) must be made
level and plumb during
installation. Use shims
under the fireplace to
properly level the
fireplace.

WARNING:
Failure to correctly level and plumb
