3.3 Framing
The Elegance 42 can be placed directly onto or against normal, combustible construction materials such as
lumber, plywood, millboard, particleboard, drywall and decorative wood paneling. The fireplace should NOT be
placed directly against or be in contact with an insulation material. A portion of the framing on the face of the
chase must be constructed with nominal 2" x 3" or 2" x 4" metal studs and the remainder can be constructed
with nominal 2" x 3" or 2" x 4" lumber. Refer to Figure 3-10 for an example of a framing design and Figure 3-11
for the framing for installations of the single linear front louver gravity kit. The framing must be nailed or
screwed onto the floor and to the ceiling.
The recommended framing dimensions of the single linear front louver is 40
” x 7.5”. A minimum distance from
the ceiling to the top of the louver is 5.5”. The base of the louver must be at least 64” from the base of the unit.
CAUTION: Respect the framing design outlined in Figure 3-11
as well as the chimney manufacturer’s
clearances to combustibles.
WARNING: Do not nail or screw framing components onto the fireplace.
