PLANING FIREPLACE FRAMING AND COVERING FACE
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. Construct rebox framing following Figure 2 and the
chart below for your specic installation requirements. See Figure 3 on Page 8 for rebox dimensions. The framing headers may
rest on the top of the rebox standoff.
The rebox may be installed directly on a combustible oor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When the rebox
is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material, other than wood ooring, the rebox shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the enclosure.
Figure 2 - Framing Dimensions
WARNING IMPORTANT: The following must be taken into consideration if
you decide to cover over the fireplace face:
1. The covering material must be non combustible, maximum 3/4" thick.
2. Minimum outside dimensions of the material over the facing are
60" x 34-1/2" (see Figure 2).
3. The inner opening in covering material must be minimum 49-1/4" wide, 14-1/4" tall and centered over the fireplace opening to
allow for or glass door removal. A 1/4" reveal must be provided all the way around the fireplace opening.
4. The cover should maintain an air gap of at least 1/8" between covering material and fireplace to allow for metal fireplace front
to expand and contract during operation.
5.
"
Do not fill spaces around firebox with insulation
or other materials. This could cause a fire.
PLEASE NOTE: Natural stone products may react to heat by discoloring or cracking. Spark Modern Fires is not
responsible" for any damages due to covering materials used. If tiles are to be applied covering the fireplace face, a layer of
cement board must be used as a substrate.

used, framing and nishing details, and whether any optional accessories (i.e. wall switch, or remote control) are desired.
Consult your local building code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows. Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained.
• This replace may be installed along a wall, across a corner, or use an exterior chase. See Figure 4 for suggested locations.
• Location should be out of high trafc areas and away from furniture and draperies due to heat from appliance.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the replace.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other ammable liquids may be stored.
• Vent pipe routing. See Venting section found in this manual for allowable venting congurations.
•These units can be installed in a bedroom or bathroom. See National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 (current edition),
theUniform Mechanical Code — (current edition), and Local Building Codes for specic installation requirements.
