Clearance Requirements
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25 mm).
The back of the fireplace may be recessed 21 1/2 inches
(546 mm) into combustible construction.

* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 35).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction
is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to
the combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads
that secure the unit together.
For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination
clearance diagrams on pages 22 and 23 in this manual.
