Facing and Clearance Requirements
The following clearance and hearth specifications
are the minimum requirements for the GZ550 DV II
Acadia gas fireplace. Measure clearances from the
steel fireplace cabinet - not the cast iron surround
panels. See Figures 6 - 8.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn
(i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.). These
surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and
also include materials that are behind non-combus-
tibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of
a material, consult your local fire officials. “Fire
Resistant” materials are considered combustible -
they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. “Fire-rated”
sheet rock is also considered combustible.
Maintain the proper clearances to the appliance
to allow adequate flow of ventilation air around the
fireplace.
Figure 8. Minimum Wall and Trim Clearance.
Measured from the cabinet, not standoffs or cast iron
panels. Maximum Top & Side Trim depth: 2 1/2” (64 mm)

Hearth Protection
The GZ550 DV II Acadia is approved for installation
without hearth protection. Combustible materials
may be used on the floor directly under and in front
of the fireplace.
