ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE
Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com
Dimension A and Dimension B, shown in Figure 28, must be equal
throughout the installation, no matter the model.
The wall framing must be at least 2”/50 mm (NON-combustible framing
ONLY) from the replace and the entire weight of the non-combustible
wallboard (see page 6) is carried by the framing. Since most Element4
replaces have two or three sides of glass, the upper wall framing is
usually hung from the ceiling or often cantilevered. See Figure 29.

A convection air outlet is always required and the area of the
convection air outlet varies by replace model. Table 7 shows the
minimum total area required for the various Element4 models. This
table assumes an enclosed chase with a top or ‘ceiling’ and with the
convection air outlet(s) on the wall(s) of the chase.
However, if the chase takes the form of a ‘half-wall’ and there is no
top on the half-wall then convection air will escape out of the ‘top’
of the half-wall. In this case, outlets on the walls are not required.
