MAUI ZERO CLEARANCE
FRAMING
Consult with your local building code agency and insurance representative before you
begin your installation to ensure compliance with local building codes, including the
need for permits and follow up inspections.
1. The framing enclosure must meet the minimum distance to combustibles and
existing walls
2. Framing materials may be installed on or against the stand offs on the Maui zero
clearance shell. For ease of installation, Maui recommends a minimum framed
opening of 483mm deep by 965mm wide by 1047mm high (see figure 17 and 18
on page 37)
3. Framing materials must not block or cover up the fresh air inlet collar. Framing
materials must maintain a minimum of one inch clearance to B-vent flue pipe.
4. In colder climates, if the heater is to be installed against an exterior wall or chase,
insulate the exterior walls according to local building codes.
5. The vent chase must be built to a minimum of ceiling height at the same width and
depth of the framed enclosure.
PLACEMENT AND FINISHING
Place the assembled zero clearance shell into the framed enclosure. The front edges
on the side sheets must be flush with the finished facing (see figure 17 and 19 on page
37 and 38). Hold finished and combustible facing 13mm from top of zero clearance
shell (see figure 19 on page 38). Using the holes provided in the base, secure the zero
clearance to the floor. A mantle and/or combustible trim may be located as shown in
figures 17 and 18 on page 37.
VENTING
Following all venting manufacturer’s requirements and local building codes. Connect
listed B-vent adaptor pipe directly to the exhaust collar of the Maui. ¼” sheet metal
screws may be used to fasten the B-vent to exhaust collar. The Maui incorporates its
own internal draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required.
