rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local instal-
lation codes.
(Do not insulate the fi replace itself.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside
of the exterior wall will result in operational and performance

FRAMING & FINISHING
2)
Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
The top of the glass door frame must not be closer than 35" (889mm)
to the ceiling.
Wood,
1)
Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall, wood
plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
fi
nished surface to be
fl
ush with the
front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to
1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
NOTE:
Facing material may not protrude beyond unit, otherwise the
optional accesories will not be able to be mounted to the unit.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation"
Section
4)
Combustible material may be brought up to the top and sides of
the unit and be covered with wood, drywall, ceramic tiles, bricks,
rock or other suitable combustible
fi
nishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase.
The clearance on top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so
combustible building materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the vent
to combustible materials for fl ex or for Rigid Vent (Refer
to "Clearances" Section).
5)
Use steel studs for framing where the 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance
from the vent to combustible material cannot be maintained.
The
HeatWave
Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the
HeatWave
manual for details.
