Framing Dimensions
Give these to your builder before framing. Note the alternate widths — if you plan a fresh air intake or a forced air distribution kit, the framed opening has to be considerably wider for a centred installation, and that decision has to be made before the wall goes up:
| Framing width — standard |
37 3/4" (960 mm) |
| Framing width — with fresh air intake |
60 3/4" (1,543 mm) |
| Framing width — with forced air kit |
72 3/4" (1,848 mm) |
| Height to first header |
41 5/8" (1,057 mm) |
| Framing depth |
24 7/8" (632 mm) |
| Total framing height |

Clearances to Combustible Material
| Maximum mantel depth |
3" (76 mm) |
| Minimum mantel height above the door opening |
8" (203 mm) |
| Side wall, measured from the door opening |
13" (330 mm) |
| Minimum distance to the wall in front |
48" (122 cm) |
| Minimum ceiling height, measured from the base of the fireplace |
80" (2.03 m) |
| Enclosure — back, sides and floor beneath the fireplace |
0" (zero clearance) |
| Chimney clearance to combustibles |
2" (50 mm) |

15' (4.6 m) from the base of the appliance to the chimney cap |
The 3" maximum mantel depth is the figure that most often catches people out on this model — a deeper decorative mantel shelf is not permitted above the opening.
