FRAMING
Construct framing using dimensions shown if
Figures 6, 7 and 8. (Use the figure applicable to
your application.) Figure 6 shows the framing
dimensions prior to having the appliance in place.
If installing on a platform, platform must be solid,
flat and fully supported (see Figure 7). Once the unit
has been fitted, bring studs in against nailing flanges
located on the side of the appliance making sure
a 1" clearance is maintained as shown in Figure 8.
If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting,
tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible mate-
rial other than wood flooring the fireplace must be
installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the fireplace.

VENT PIPE INSTALLATION
A 6" B-1 type gas vent pipe is a double wall, vent-
ing system (not supplied) which must be installed
during rough framing of the appliance. Any B-1
type gas vent system may be used for proper vent-
ing as long as the vent system is installed per the
vent manufacturer’s recommendations.
FMI PRODUCTS, LLC supplies this appliance
with a tapered starter pipe for a snug fit. Slide B-1
type vent pipe over this starter pipe until vent pipe
is fully seated. Secure this first section of B-vent
pipe by strapping the connector around the vent
pipe and then tightening the strap with any 1/8"
nut and bolt (see Figure 9).
Note:
Visually inspect
for proper vent connection by looking inside top
of appliance. If connection does not appear to be
correct, contact your local service technician.
