B-Series DV-2 Gas Fireplace
Part No. XG0160 - 080410
Installation
Installing and Framing the Fireplace
The B-Series-DV-2 replaces may be installed in any location that main-
tains proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and
plumbing. Safety, as well as efciency of operation, must be considered
when selecting the replace location. Try to select a location that does
not interfere with room trafc, has adequate ventilation, and offers an
accessible pathway for Direct Vent installation. Refer to page 4 - Vent
Installation for more information.
The replace dimensions are shown below:
Figure 3. Minimum Corner framing dimensions, using a 45° elbow.

* When sheetrock is
not used behind the
fireplace, framing
depth may be reduced
by 5/8"

Clearances
These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening,
where the clearance to combustibles is 0". The B-Series DV-2 clearances
to combustible materials are:
B34-DV-2 B38-DV-2
Top - Rear Vent * 7 1/2" 7 1/2"
Top - Top Vent 17 1/2" 17 1/2"
Back 1" 1"
Sides 1" 0"
Floor 0" 0"
Mantle** 8" 6"
* Clearance from the top of the replace to a combustible ceiling
within the replace enclosure.
** Refer to page 12, (Mantels and Surrounds).
Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the replace
opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in Figure 25.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapor barrier. This will reduce
the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the replace.
