2. The recommended framing dimensions are presented in Figures 3.2 and 3.3. The enclosure for the
fireplace should be framed with standard framing material Please note that the framing height is to the
top of the standoffs; for rear vent applications the framing height 2” above the top of the inlet pipe is
