3.8 minimum clearance to combustibles
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and beneficial
location for a Napoleon® appliance is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the
heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the appliance is to be located
should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house with-
out cutting a floor or roof joist.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD
COULD RESULT.
FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS LISTED MUST BE CONSTRUCTED
ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS (I.E. STEEL STUDS, CEMENT BOARD, ETC.).
NEVER OBSTRUCT THE FRONT OPENING OF THE APPLIANCE.

If less than 5” (127mm) clearance is maintained between the back of the appliance and the back wall, it will be
necessary to disconnect the venting and gas pipe to move the appliance out for installation or service of the
