8.4 Clearances to combustibles
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set
out in safety standards ULC S610 (Canada) and UL127 (U.S.A.). When the fireplace is installed
so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces
will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
No part of the fireplace may be located closer to the combustible than the minimum
clearance given.
A material is considered non-combustible when made entirely of steel, iron, bricks, tiles,
concrete, slate, glass or a combination of these materials. Materials corresponding to ASTM
E136 and UL 763 are considered to be non-combustible materials with the exception of
gypsum, which will be considered a non-combustible material only if it is certified to withstand
an ambient temperature of use of 250°F and more.

8.5 Framing construction
The frame, on the sides and back of the fireplace, must be made of 2"x 3" (5 cm x 8 cm) or
larger. The front studs as well as headers on top of the fireplace must be of a depth no more
than the depth of the top standoffs. The standoffs can be installed either flush with the fireplace
or setback of ½» depending on the thickness of the finishing material used.
