COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
INSTALLATION
Clearances for Bay or Flush Front
WARNING
Fire hazard is an extreme risk if
these clearances are not ad-
hered to.
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is
made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches). Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded
area or higher using the above scale.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant"
or the paint may discolour.
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum dis-
tances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fires is
failure to maintain required clearances
(air space) to combustible materials. It is
of the greatest importance that this fire-
place and vent system be installed only in
accordance with these instructions.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0" (0mm)
NOTE: The minimum floor clearance must be
maintained from the top surface of the carpet-
ing, tile, etc.
Minimum Clearance from Top of Unit to:
Mantel* min.7" (177mm)
Ceiling 30" (762mm) from
top of unit.
Side Wall Clearance

INSTALLATION
InstallSideNailingStrips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into
position. See page 9 for assembly
details.
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
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustiblematerial may bebroughtup to
thetopandsidesoftheunitandbecovered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other
suitable combustible finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be com-
pletely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible
building materials can be laid di-
rectly on top of the standoffs. You
must maintain 1-1/2" (38mm) clear-
ance from the vent to combustible
materials for flex (1-1/4" for Simp-
son Dura-Vent).
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.
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to
combustiblematerialcannotbemaintained.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing 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.
