When installing the optional Tripoli Arch Door, a non-combustible material 12" (305mm) above the unit and 6" (153mm) on each side must be used. See
diagram 2. For complete framing dimensions - see page 57 in this manual.
The Tripoli Arch Door also requires steel stud framing above and on each side of the unit, see diagram 2.

Install Side Nailing Strips, Top Facing
Support, and Top Standoffs before unit
is slipped into position. See the "Unit
AssemblyPriortoInstallation"sectionfor
assembly details.
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
canvaryfrom1/2"(13mm)to1-1/4"(32mm)
thick.
FRAMING AND FINISHING
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening is
36-1/4" high x 36-1/4" wide x 12-3/4" deep
(921mm high x 921mm wide x 324mm
deep).
Note: Header must be installed vertically. If
Header is installed horizontally, it must be
steel.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fireplace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
32" (813mm) to the ceiling.

Note: The unit does not have to be
completely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
thestandoffssocombustiblebuilding
materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the
venttocombustiblematerialsforflex
(1-1/4" for Rigid Pipe).
5) Use steel studs for framing where the 1-
1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to
combustiblematerialcannotbemaintained,
e.g. front top header.
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:
When installing tile, carpeting, or any other
finishing material in front of the unit, the
top of the surface of the tile, carpeting, etc.
must not be any higher than the base of
the fireplace. Any higher and the optional
accessories will not fit (i.e. finishing trim,
surrounds, etc.)
NOTE: Floor Finishing Material
must not be any higher than the
base of the fireplace.

UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
TheTopFacingSupport,theSideNailingStrips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Removethestandoffsfromthefireplacetop.
2) Takeeachstandoffandbendintothecorrect
shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the
screw holes in the standoff and the pre-
punched screw holes on the fireplace top
line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with
2screwsperstandoff(onoppositecorners).
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P36-1 uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co-Axialsystem.Theinnerlinerventsproducts
of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
needtouseheatedroomairforcombustionand
losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be
connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Eachdirectventgasappliancemustuseit'sown
separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited.
Top Facing Support &
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush with the front of the
unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"
(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
The Top Facing Support can be mounted in 3
different positions depending on the thickness
of the facing material.
2) Fold out the two nailing strips on each side.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the
3 supplied screws into the three pre-
punched screw holes on the top front of
the unit. Use hole positions A, B, or C
depending on your facing depth.

the parts needed to install the P36 with a
maximum 10' run.
Notes:
1) Liner sections should be continuous without any joints or seams.
2) Only Flex pipe purchased from FPI may be used for Flex installations.
3) If you are installing the P36 into a FPI Cabinet Mantel Kit, use the minimum horizontal vent height (centre-line of 40-1/2"). Remember
to include the mantel base (3" in height) in your calculations and to maintain the 2" clearance to the underside of the mantel top.
