When Planning for the installation of the fire-

place, the framing height must be increased 

from 46-1/2" to 47-1/4", when installing the 

drain pan. An additional space below the 

fireplace will also be required to plumb a 

drain line.

Step 1.

    Seal all joints, gaps and corners around 

the bottom of the drain pan before 

positioning the fireplace on its location 

(

Figure 3

)

.

Step 2.

    On the exposed drain hole, install a PVC 

threaded coupling reducer, 3/4" x 1/2" 

going from the top of the pan down 

through the hole. Apply a silicone-

based sealant around the base and 

threads before installation.

Step 3.

  Holding the reducer coupling with a 

wrench, thread a 3/4", 90 degree, PVC 

elbow to the reducer until it is tight to 

the metal.

Step 4.

    Add additional piping to route the drain 

to an appropriate location.

NOTE:  To assure proper drainage, the fireplace 

must be installed on a leveled surface.

CLEARANCES

Minimum clearance to combustibles for the 

fireplace is as follows; sides and back – 1/2" 

(13mm), combustible floor – 0" (0mm), adja-

cent wall 6" (152mm), ceiling – 72" (1829mm). 

Refer to 

Figure 4 

on this page and 

Figure 18 

on 

Page 13

 for more detail.

NOTE:  Clearance behind the nailing flange 

for both fireplace models is 1/2" (13mm).

NOTE:  Adjacent wall considerations are for 

an adjacent wall to only a single side. Walls 

should not be placed at the minimum distance 

on both sides of the fireplace. Allow at least 

4 feet on one side of the fireplace.
