FRAMING & FINISHING FRAMING & FINISHING 1) Determine the total thickness of the facing material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the finished surface to be flush with the front of the unit. The ASC-42 series may be installed with the facing material adjacent to the finished flange. Fig. 6 – Framing Side View 42 5/8" 30 1/8" Fig. 4 – Facing Options 2) Frame in the enclosure for the fireplace. A rough framed opening of 33” high by 38” will be required for installation (see figure 5-7).
PAGE 8
VENTING REQUIREMENTS 5) Non-combustible material may be brought up to the top and sides of the appliance and be covered with ceramic tile, brick, rock, or other non-combustible finishing materials. 6) Steel studs should be used where the clearance from the vent to combustible materials cannot be maintained. Figure 8– Clearance to Venting VENTING PLANNING The ASC-42 uses Simpson Duravent Co-Axial venting systems.
