as facing brick.
below or totally enclosed with non-combustible material, such
as facing brick.
Determine the total thickness of facing material to be used.
A thickness of 3/4" will allow the fi nishing surface to be fl ush
with the front of the unit. If preferred, additional masonry type
non-combustible material can be installed above and to the
sides up to 6 inches proud of the appliance. The fi nishing
material must not interfere with glass frame access.

The sides, back and top of the fi replace can be framed in
up to the steel studs and the fi replace standoffs using con-

Due to high temperatures, concrete board is supplied with
the fi replace and must be used to sheet in the front of the
fi replace, extending 12" above and 4 1/2" to the side of the
framing edge bars. See fi gure #7. Standard sheetrock (drywall)
may be used beyond this.

Chase Insulation: When installing this fi replace against a
non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the
outer walls be insulated to same degree as other exterior walls.
Do not place fi replace directly against the insulation. Cover the
insulation and plastic vapour barrier with a solid surface, such
as drywall (sheetrock). Consult local codes. Do not insulate
or use plastic vapour barrier within the framing kit.
