MQHBZDV4736 - Framing for your Gas Fireplace
Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fire-
place against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recom mended
that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation
codes. Drywall must be installed over insulation to prevent contact of
insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace
framing dimensions specified (See Framing Diagrams). Bend nailing
tabs forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed
enclosure. This allows for 1/2” in front of framing tabs for finishing
materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the
bottom, sides and top of fireplace. (louvered models only)
4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend maintain a minimum
of two and a half (2.5”) inches above the bend in enclosures,insulation
sleeve is required. If greater than six and a half (6.5”) an insulation sleeve
is not required.
5. For a fireplace with louvers combustible floor can raise 1” above
the bottom of the fireplace. For a fireplace with HB47CVCK
(Clean view Circulating Kit) floor or hearth can raise 7” above the
bottom of the fireplace with portions being combustible and non
combustible. See drawing on following page.
6. When installing MQHB47SWCC wall surround, the fireplace must
be raised a minimum of 3 1/2” above the finished floor, to accom-
modate the wall surround. When installing MQHB47SWCV wall
surround the fireplace must be raised 2 3/4” above the finished
floor. The fireplace may be raised higher but the 60” clearance
measured from the bottom of the fireplace to the ceiling must be
maintained at all times. (i.e. For an 8 ft. ceiling the unit can be
raised only 36 inches.)
It is recommended for
Propane Horizontal Installations
that the venting should be a minimum of one foot vertical off the flue
before the elbow on any horizontal runs of one foot or greater. This allows for cleaner combustion and greatly reduces carbon-
ing and cleaning of glass. (Does not apply to Back Flue Models).
