VENTING INSTALLATION
Continued
Combustible materials, such as wallboard, gypsum
board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc. may make
direct contact with sides and top around the replace
face. It is important that combustible materials do
not overlap the face itself. Brick, glass, tile or other
noncombustible materials may overlap the front
face provided they do not obstruct essential open-
ings like louvered slots or any other opening. When
overlapping with a noncombustible facing material,
use only noncombustible mortar or adhesive.
