MINIMUM FINISHED OPENING DIMENSIONS
FRAMING
WALL ENCLOSURE ROUGH OPENING
IMPORTANT: Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness and fireplace facing materials. If using a hearth, adjust
rough opening size as necessary to maintain at least the minimum clearance requirements.
IMPORTANT: NON-COMBUSTIBLE FACING MATERIAL MAY BE APPLIED OVER (BUT NOT DIRECTLY TO) FIREPLACE
FACE. THIS WILL PREVENT THE FACING MATERIAL FROM FALLING OFF DUE TO EXPANSION OF THE FACE WHEN
HEATED. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF VENTILATION AIR.
HORIZONTAL VENTING
42”(1067 mm) High x 36-3/8”(924 mm) Wide x 21-7/8” (556 mm) Deep.
1/2” (13 mm) clearance at back and sides of fireplace must be maintained.
NOTE: Provide adequate clearance in front of fireplace to operate lower grill, open and close optional decorative doors / full door faces,
access the control valve, installation of gas line, fan, etc.

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT UPPER AND LOWER GRILL OPENINGS. ROOM AIR ENTERS THROUGH THE LOWER PAS-
SAGE, IS HEATED AND EXITS THROUGH THE UPPER PASSAGE. BLOCKING THESE PASSAGES MAY RESULT IN OVER-
HEATING, CREATING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

Illustration at right requires a minimum 5” (127 mm)
exterior wall depth when using minimum horizontal venting.
Anything less than a 5” (127 mm) exterior wall depth requires
that you add that depth to the 21-7/8” (556 mm) dimension for
horizontal terminations to accommodate minimum venting.
