Combustible Wall Clearances
P38, PL38, P42, PL42:
When installing a shelf over the top of the fireplaces, the following
guidelines must be adhered to:
For Rear Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 0" from the rear
of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 9" clearance
from the top of the fireplace to the underside of any combustible shelf
materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 0" from the rear
of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 17 1/2" to
the underside of any combustible shelf materials.
To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all P and PL gas fireplaces
are required to have the supplied standoffs installed. The fireplace is
supplied with two standoffs. Bend and install these standoffs on top
of the fireplace ensuring that the height of the standoff maintains a
7 1/2" clearance.
P52, PL52:
When installing a shelf over the top of the fireplaces, the following
guidelines must be adhered to:
For Rear Vent multi-elbow applications, the minimum clearance is 1"
from the elbow off the rear of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible
materials, and 12" clearance from the top of the fireplace to the
underside of any combustible shelf materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 1" from the rear
of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 26" to the
underside of any combustible shelf materials.
