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.
