B. Clearances to Combustibles

When selecting a location for the appliance it is important

to consider the required clearances to walls. See Figure

3.8 and Figure 3.9.

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate

clearance around air openings and for service access.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be lo-

cated out of trafﬁ c and away from furniture and draperies.

NOTICE: Illustrations reﬂ ect typical installations and are

FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams

are not drawn to scale. Actual installation could vary due

to individual design preference.

C. Constructing the Appliance Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the

gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates

the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.

NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling ﬁ restops and wall shield

ﬁ restops and construction of the chase may vary with the

type of building. These instructions are not substitutes

for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,

you MUST check local building codes to determine the

requirements to these steps.

Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-

side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-

lems. The chase should not break the outside building

envelope in any manner.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever ﬂ oor of the chase

should be insulated. Vapor and air inﬁ ltration barriers

should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for

the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold

air inﬁ ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be

sheetrocked and taped (or an equivalent method may be

used) to achieve maximum air tightness.

NOTICE: This See-Through appliance is NOT

designed or approved for an indoor/outdoor

application.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling ﬁ re-

stops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of

300ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line

holes and other openings should be caulked with caulk

with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating or

stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being

installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be

placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the

room.

elevated off the ﬂ oor provided that the ﬁ replace is properly

supported by framing materials and the ceiling clearances are

maintained.
