minimum clearance to combustibles
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and benefi cial
location for a Napoleon® appliance is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most effi cient use of the
heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow 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 fl oor or roof joist.

*At a distance of 2” (51mm) from the wall, installation or service to the blower may not be practical. A minimum of
5” (127mm) will be required in order to install the blower.
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
blower.
•
Minimum clearance to combustibles must be maintained or a serious fi re hazard could result.
•
Framing or fi nishing materials closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of non-com-
bustible materials (i.e. steel studs, cement board, etc.).
•
Never obstruct the front opening of the appliance.
