If this fireplace is elevated high enough beyond the maximum on the table, above, you will be required to use a sheet
metal shield which is mounted on the soffit directly above the vent cap spanning 36” wide centered over the vent cap and
spanning the full depth of the sof-
fit, spaced 1” down from the soffit
surface using tubular spacers or
stacked washers. This metal
shield allows you to lower the
clearance between Vent Cap Cen-
ter and the metal shield to 12”.
The ML47 Linear Fireplace may
be installed directly on wood floor
or any non-combustible solid floor-
ing, except carpet and vinyl. The
bottom edge of the visible glass
will be located 9-3/16” up from the
floor level in this configuration.
Mendota recommends that the
ML47 be installed on an elevated
wood framed support stand of at
least 15” tall which will result in the
bottom edge of the visible glass
locating at 24” above the floor lev-
el of the room.
How to determine the proper
installed height of this fireplace:
Determine how individuals spend
their time in the room this fireplace
is to be installed. If time is spent
mostly sitting on a chair or sofa,
determine the eye level height of the shortest individual while this individual is sitting in the chair or sofa. Subtract 10” from
the eye level height. This is the recommended height for the bottom edge of the visible glass.
This recommendation is strictly cosmetic and is not required to be adhered to.
