Mantel Clearances for Built-In 

Installation

If placing custom mantel above built-in fire

-

box, you must meet the minimum allowable 

clearance between mantel shelf and top of 

firebox opening shown in Figure 7. These are 

the  minimum  allowable  mantel  clearances 

for a safe installation. Use larger clearances 

wherever possible to minimize the heating of 

objects and materials placed on the mantel.

 CAUTION: Do not allow the 

vent-free gas log appliance to 

touch  or  extend  beyond  the 

firebox screen.

If your installation does not meet the above 

minimum clearances in Figure 7, you must:
•  raise the mantel to an acceptable height,

OR

•  remove the mantel.

BUILT-IN FIREBOX INSTALLATION

Built-in  installation  of  this  firebox  involves 

installing firebox into a framed-in enclosure. 

This  makes  the  front  of  firebox  flush  with 

wall.  Optional  perimeter  brass  trim  acces

-

sories are available (see 

Accessories

, page 

17). The brass trim will extend past sides of 

firebox approximately 1/2". This will cover the 

rough edges of the wall opening. If installing 

a mantel above the firebox, you must follow

the clearances shown in Figure 7. Follow the 

instructions below to install the firebox in this 

manner.
1.  Frame in rough opening. The firebox 

framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 

lumber or heavier. Construct framing 

using dimensions shown in Figure 8 and 

9, page 11. It is recommended that the 

framing be constructed first and the unit 

be placed in position by removing the 

nailing flanges from one side. After sliding 

the unit into place, the outer most flanges 

may be replaced and nailed to the framing 

on all sides before applying the wallboard 

to the exterior framing.

2.  If the vent-free firebox is to be installed 

directly on carpeting, tile (other than ce

-

ramic) or any combustible material other 

than wood flooring; the vent-free firebox 

must be installed upon a metal or wood 

panel extending the full width and depth 

of the vent-free firebox.

3.  If a raised platform is to be constructed, 

ceiling clearances must be maintained.

4.  Install gas piping to firebox location. See 

Installing Gas Line

 and C

onnecting to Gas 

Supply

 in log set owner’s manual.

IMPORTANT:

 If installing blower accessory. 

See 

Hard-Wiring Firebox

, page 13.

5.  Carefully set firebox in front of rough open

-

ing.

 If installing brass trim 

kit, see instructions included with brass 

trim accessory. You must install shoulder 

screws from brass trim kit now.

6. 

Carefully insert firebox into rough opening. 

7.  Attach  firebox  to  wall  studs  using  nails 

or wood screws through holes in nailing
