STANDOFFS INSTALLATION
Before you begin installing you fireplace, you MUST
install the standoffs provided on both sides of the
fireplace and on the top. Please refer to Figure 5 to
position them adequately.
Once the standoffs are in place, make sure to seal the
¼" gap between the fireplace and the standoffs with a
high temperature sealant.
DO NOT
fill the gap behind
the sealant with insulation or any other material.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
The installation of your ONYX2 fireplace is the same
whether you install it in a regular home or in a mobile
home. Nevertheless, you MUST comply with the
following restrictions:
1. You
MUST
use a vented roof flashing.
2. You
CANNOT
install gravity vents.
3. You
CANNOT
install the central heating system.
4. You
MUST
use outside air as combustion air.
LOCATION
Your ONYX2 fireplace may be installed in many different ways (see Figure 6) without any special floor
reinforcement. We recommend that you take the time to plan your entire installation (fireplace, chimney, and
options) before beginning the actual installation (refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8).

The framing dimensions are larger than required for ease of installation. Examples shown here are for a
Louvered ONYX2. An extra 12" is required on the left of the fireplace of a Clean Face ONYX2 to connect the
intake air duct. The Heat Dump Option will also require an extra 12" on the selected side. Additional space,
dependant on your desired installation, is also required on top and maybe on one side of the fireplace for the
Central Heat Option

Dimensions of the fireplace along with clearances are shown in Figure 1 and Table 1.
WARNING: IF THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE CAN RESULT. FOR
YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CLEARANCES. DO NOT PACK
