Figure 4 shows a typical framing (using 2 x 4 lumber)
of the fireplace, assuming combustible materials are
used. All required clearances to combustibles around
the fireplace must be adhered to. Any framing across
the top of the fireplace must be above the level of the
hemmed edge along the top of the firebox assembly.
Vertical framing at the side of the firebox assembly to
which the side nailing flanges are attached must be
perpendicular to the face of the fireplace and may
have point contact with the side of the fireplace at the
nailing flange. A 1" air clearance must be maintained
at the back and sides of the firebox assembly.
Chimney Sections at any level require a two inch
minimum air space clearance between the framing
and chimney section.

TION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE COULD RESULT.
Combustible Material. Material made of or surfaced
with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics,
or any material capable of igniting and burning,
whether flame proofed or not, plastered or unplas-
tered.
Non-combustible Material. Material which will not
ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting
entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass
or plasters, or combination thereof.

After completing the framing and applying the facing
material (dry wall) over the framing, a non-com-
bustible sealant, one-half inch wide maximum, must
be used to close off any gaps at the top and sides
between the fireplace and facing to prevent cold air
leaks.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to
cover the black metal fireplace front.
