CDVZ Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
20014621
A hearth is not mandatory but is recommended for aes-
thetic purposes. We recommend a noncombustible hearth
which projects out 12” (305 mm) or more from the front of
the fireplace.
Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a non-
insulated exterior wall or chase, it is
mandatory that the outer walls be insulated
to conform to applicable insulation codes.
Hearth
Framing and Finishing
Check fireplace to make sure it is levelled
and properly positioned.
To mount the appliance:
1. Choose the location.
2. This unit comes with four (4) flanges pre-mounted on
both sides of the fireplace to allow two different drywall
thicknesses to be used. Flange “A” is for 1/2” drywall
while flange “B” is for 5/8” drywall.
3. Bend the desired flanges out 90° on both sides of the
fireplace. Slide the fireplace into the framed opening
until the flanges contact the front surfaces of the fram-
ing. Level the unit and secure it firmly in place.
4. The standoffs are adjustable for different drywall thick-
nesses. The unit is shipped from the factory at 1/2”
(13 mm). Loosen the four (4) screws securing each
standoff to the top of the fireplace. Slide the standoff
back. Tighten the screws. This yields a 5/8” (16 mm)
thick drywall space. Removing the standoff and having
the tabs on the standoff face the rear of the unit yields
a 3/4” (19 mm) drywall space. (Fig. 5)
