FRAMING AND FINISHING

P121-10 - See Thru

P131-10 - Pier

Note: These units are

non-load bearing.

1) For ease of installation, frame your replace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Remember to install the top standoffs. See the "Unit

Assembly Prior to Installation" section. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.

CAUTION: Verify your replace dimensions, framing methods and nished wall facing details before framing. Determine the total thickness of

facing material - drywall plus ceramic tiles, slate, etc. Allow the nish surface to be ush with the front or side of the unit. Total facing thickness

can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

2) When locating your appliance on an exterior wall or in a chase, apply a vapour barrier and drywall, as per local building codes. DO NOT INSULATE THE

FIREPLACE ITSELF.

CAUTION: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so combustible

building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the vent to combustible materials for both rigid

and ex, see Vent Clearances in the "Clearances" section.
