Figure 6 - Framing Clearances for Corner Installation
These models are approved for use with
FMI 7" direct-vent pipe components and
terminations.
Your fireplace is approved to be vented either
through the side wall, or vertically using the
following guidelines:
• Only use FMI venting components or kits
specifically approved for this fireplace.
• Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 1" (25 mm),
except where stated otherwise.
• Combustible material may be flush with
the top front of fireplace with a maxi-
mum thickness of 3/4".
• Do not recess venting terminals into a
wall or siding.
• If exterior wall is vinyl, you must use a
vinyl siding standoff.
• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise
for every 12" of run toward the termination.
• You may paint the vent terminal with
450ºF (232ºC) heat-resistant paint to co-
ordinate with the exterior finish.
• There must not be any obstruction such
as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks,
or utility buildings within 24" from the
front of the termination cap.
• Do not locate termination cap where ex-
cessive snow or ice build up may occur.
Be sure to clear vent termination area af-
ter snow falls to prevent accidental block-
age of venting system. When using snow
blowers, do not direct snow towards vent
termination area.
Location of Vent Termination
When locating vent termination, it is impor-
tant to observe the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 8, page 6. You will avoid
extra framing by positioning your fireplace
against an already existing framing mem-
ber. The sides of the fireplace may be posi-
tioned directly against combustible walls.
*Check with local codes or with the current
CAN/CGA B149 [.1 or .2] Installation Codes
for Canada or the USA Installations follow
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANS
Z223.1, also known as NFPA 54.
