Installation
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The replace may be installed in any location that maintains proper clear-
ances 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:
When installing a shelf over the top of the replace, the following
guidelines must be adhered to: For Rear Vent applications the
minimum clearance from the top of the replace to a shelf is 9". For
Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 17 1/2". (Minimum
2" clearance must still be maintained around the vent pipes.)

Clearances
These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening,
where the clearance to combustibles is 0". The H42DF-O clearance to
unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the replace
opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in Fig. 24.
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.
* Clearance from top of the Fireplace to a combustible ceiling within the fireplace
enclosure.
** Refer to Pages, 10 & 11.
