Determine the exact position of your fireplace, including hearth height, width, and depth, (if applicable). If possible, place
fireplace in such a manner that the vent termination will be placed between two studs, eliminating the need for additional
framing.
Frame a 12- 1/2” (318 mm) high (H) x 10 - 7/8” (276 mm) wide
(W) opening on the exterior wall for the chimney termination.
This opening size includes the required 3” (76 mm) top
clearance and 1” (25 mm) sides and bottom clearances for
approved rigid vent systems and the Kozy Heat #800 series
flexible vent system.
CAUTION: Cold air transfer area. The surrounding fireplace chase must comply with all clearances as
outlined in this manual and be constructed in compliance with local building codes. Outside walls should be
insulated to prevent cold air from entering room.
CAUTION: Due to high temperatures, this fireplace should be located
out of traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
Follow vent pipe manufacturer‟s installation instructions for
vertical terminations. A minimum 1” (25 mm) clearance on all

.
If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare the necessary foundation for the masonry load. When masonry construction is
being used, a lintel must be used over the top of the fireplace to support the added weight.
Build the hearth to the desired size and height. If a
hearth extension is desired, combustible material may
be used.
NOTE: Consider height of hearth
finish material (stone, brick, etc.) when
building fireplace platform. The
bottom of the fireplace must be level
with finished hearth to allow for lower
grill operation and proper fit of
optional decorative full door faces.
