MATERIALS IS REQUIRED. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Materials that can catch re and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with;
wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material that can catch re and burn is considered combustible.
Even though these materials may have been ‘ame-proofed’, made ‘re-resistant’ or are ‘re-rated’ they are
considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall are both combustible.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A material is non-combustible when it cannot catch re and burn. For example, materials made of stone, brick,
concrete, tile, steel, plaster or glass are non-combustible.
Since this replace may be installed only outdoors, it is important to select materials that are suited for outdoor
conditions.

ENCLOSING THE FIREPLACE/FRAMING
All enclosures for the J-M2 replace require an air inlet and an air outlet. These openings in the enclosure
must allow for the free ow of air through the unit.
The air inlet opening must be located on the same side of the replace as the gas control and should be
located near the bottom of the replace. This is the left side when facing the single sided model and either
side on the see-through. The air outlet can be on any vertical surface above the unit.
The air inlet opening and the air outlet opening must be covered with a grill that has a free area of at least 36 in
(233 cm). The grill opening should be small enough to prevent bugs, mice and other pests from accessing the
enclosure. When choosing a grill, give consideration to its rain and/or weather resistance to ensure that as
little weather gets inside the enclosure as possible. A small hood at the top of the grill is recommended for
improved weather resistance. Make sure these hoods and grills do not effect the air intake.
IMPORTANT
From the air inlet to the controls side of the unit, there must be a chase baffle must be built to prevent air from
passing around the back or top of the unit: Figure 13 below.
