Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fireplace
against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the
outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall
should be installed over insulation to prevent contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace
framing dimensions specified (See Framing Diagrams). Bend nailing tabs
forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed enclosure.
This allows for 1/2” in front of framing tabs for finishing materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the
bottom, sides and top of fireplace.
4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend maintain a minimum of
two and a half (2.5”) inches above the bend in enclosures.
5. Hearth is not mandatory but is recommended for aesthetic purposes.
Combustible floors cannot raise above the bottom of the fireplace. We
recommend a non-combustible hearth projecting out 12” (305mm)
or more in front of the fireplace.

Back Vent Model Only
On horizontal venting, 1/4” rise per
foot up to 3ft, over 3ft up to the 5ft
maximum horizontal run 1 1/2” rise
per foot is needed.
It is recommended for
Propane Horizontal
Installations
that the venting should be a
minimum of one foot vertical off the flue
before the elbow on any horizontal runs of
one foot or greater. This allows for cleaner
combustion and greatly reduces carboning
and cleaning of glass. (Does not apply to
Back Flue Models).
