Locating Your Gas Fireplace
When selecting a location for your fireplace
Ensure that the minimum clearances to combustible materials are met as
outlined in the next section.
Provide adequate clearances for servicing.
Minimum vent vertical and allowed horizontal lengths and number of bends must
be considered during the location selection for your fireplace.
The appliance must be installed on a flat, solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, metal,
concrete). This may be the floor or a raised platform to enhance its visual impact. If the
appliance is going to be installed on carpeting, combustible linoleum tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance must be installed on a
metal or wood panel as a barrier above the combustible material extending the full width
and depth of the appliance.
Minimum Clearances to Combustibles Materials
Appliance and Vent Clearances
The appliance is approved with maintained minimum clearance to combustible materials
as shown in the diagrams provided.
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on
the appliance face. However, they must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel
or the control compartment.
The minimum clearances (air space) to combustible materials must be adhered to. It is of the
greatest importance that the fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance with
these instructions.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the
mantel. Mantels constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height
above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the fireplace
hood.
Recommendation: Ortal recommends the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F or
higher) on the underside of the mantel.

the appliance face. However, they must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel
or the control compartment.
The minimum clearances (air space) to combustible materials must be adhered to. It is of the
greatest importance that the fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance with
these instructions.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the
mantel. Mantels constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height
above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the fireplace
hood.
Recommendation: Ortal recommends the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F or
higher) on the underside of the mantel.
