Facing Requirements
• Non-combustible facing must extend from the base of the fireplace to 35-1/2” above the base of the fireplace (see
illustration below for details).
• Non-combustible facing must extend the entire width of the unit to the framing opening on both sides.
• Do not place facing over the glass opening.
• Drywall (or other combustible) may be placed above the non-combustible facing (35-1/2” above the base of the
fireplace). See illustration below for details.
WARNING: Do not place drywall or other combustibles over the front of the fireplace.
WARNING: Do not use adhesive to secure the facing. The high temperatures of the
fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set (or other non-
combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing.
NOTE: Screws may be used to secure cement board or tile backer to the fireplace. Do not
penetrate the fireplace more than 1/2” (13mm).
