INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials (Vent Free only)
Mantle Clearances (Vent Free only)
IMPORTANT:
To insure a safe installation into a
masonry or factory built fireplace, the following
instructions must be carefully observed. If installing in a
pre-manufactured fireplace follow the clearance
requirements accompanying that fireplace.
Note:
Clearances to Combustible Materials and
Mantle Clearances are in place to provide adequate
spacing to prevent a fireplace mantle or facing from
catching fire. In most cases they should also be
adequate to prevent any discoloration or warping due to
heat. However, each Gas Log installation will present
unique circumstances creating many variables beyond
the control of the Gas Log Manufacturer, including paint
or finish composition, previous heat exposure, quality of
construction, air flow patterns etc. Because of these
variables we cannot guarantee that heat warping or
discoloration will never occur. The possibility of heat
damage exists whether burning wood or gas logs.
Refer to Fig. 1 for the following dimensions:
A.
Minimum left and right clearance to combustible walls =
15”.
B.
Minimum clearance to combustible ceiling = 42”.
C.
Minimum left and right side clearances to mantle = 6”.
