3.6 Wall Enclosure Rough Opening
WARNING: Provide adequate clearance in front of the fireplace for
barrier removal, component access, gas line installation, service
access, etc.
•
Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness
and fireplace facing materials. If using a hearth, adjust the rough
opening size as necessary to maintain minimum clearance
requirements.
•
If masonry (optional) is to be used, prepare the foundation
necessary for the full masonry load. A lintel must be used over
the top of the appliance to support the added weight of the
masonry construction above the fireplace.
