INSTALLATION
Note: 40-1/2" (1029mm) is the minimum
height for both fl ex termination or
Simpson Dura-Vent fl ueing.
5) BARCELONA FRAMING NOTE: If
installing the optional Barcelona front, a
non-combustible material 12" (305mm)
above the unit and 6"(153mm) on each
side must be used. The Barcelona Front
also requires steel stud framing above
and on each side of the unit. See Diagram
3 in the "Combustible Mantels" section
and Diagram 1 in the "Locating Your Gas
Fireplace" section.
Note: The unit does not have to be
completely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible building
materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the fl ue
to combustible materials for fl ex (1-1/4"
(32mm) for Simpson Dura-Vent).
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the fl ue to
combustible material cannot be maintained,
e.g. front top header.

FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
thick.

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 fi replace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
32" (813mm) to the ceiling.
Install Side Nailing Strips, Top Facing
Support, and Top Standoffs before unit
is slipped into position. See the "Unit
Assembly Prior to Installation" section
for assembly details.
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).
