Framing for your Gas Fireplace
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 fram-
ing dimensions specified (See Framing Diagrams). Bend nailing tabs for-
ward 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
2
1
/
2
inches (64mm) 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.

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).
