Urbana U37 Installation guide

  • I have reviewed the Installation Reference Guide for the URBANA U37 Fireplace. This document provides detailed information on framing dimensions, clearance to combustibles, venting requirements and installation instructions. I'm ready to answer your questions about the installation process and specifications.
  • What is the minimum depth required for the fireplace with a 2" facing mat?
    What is the minimum clearance from the finishing edge to the side wall?
    What is the minimum alcove width?
    What are the vent size requirements?

Mantel Projections
Mantel graph dimensions are measured from the bottom
of the replace, if you wish to reference the mantel height
from the tiling edge subtract 32 ⁄ inches (829mm) from the
mantel height depicted on the graph. If you plan to install a
TV above your replace refer to the appropriate section of the
owner’s manual for available options. It is acceptable to install
a combustible mantel over top of the non-combustible board.
If using the Cool Surface System, refer to the graph on the
following page to determine the required mantel height.
Minimum Venting Requirements
This appliance uses a 11” (280 mm) exhaust / 8” (203mm) air intake
vent pipe system. For safe and proper operation of the appliance
follow the venting instructions exactly. Deviation from the
minimum vertical length can create diculty in burner start-up
and sooting. Allow several minutes for the ame to stabalize after
ignition under extreme vent congurations. It is recommended for
vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (garages, attics,
crawl spaces) be insulated to minimize condensation.
NOTE: At least 3” (76mm) of clearance is required above vent when
passing through an exterior wall when horizontally terminating.

Cool Surface System Framing
Framing Option 1:
Front Discharge (ush wall installations)
Construct the framing in a way that provides a minimum 42 inch (1067mm) by 3 inch
(76mm) gap at the top of the facing wall. It is essential that these dimensions are
respected and not to deviate away from them when using combustible materials inside
the chase (see Figure 1).
Note: If you wish to construct the CSS air discharge part way up a tall wall then it is essential to
build a false ceiling inside the chase at the desired height to direct the rising heat out of the gap.

Framing Option 2:
Open Chase (built-out installations)
This could be considered the most discreet option when considering the CSS. The chase must be constructed in a way that stops short
of the ceiling, leaving it totally vented above. Minimum framing dimensions must be followed when constructing this option and not to
deviated from them when using combustible materials. Consider Optional 3: Valance to work in conjunction with this option.

Mantel Projections with Cool
Surface System
Activating the Cool Surface System decreases the required
height of the mantel. Use the graph on the right to determine the
mantel height when using the Cool Surface System. Mantel graph
dimensions are measured from the bottom of the replace, if you
wish to reference the mantel height from the tiling edge subtract
32 ⁄ inches (829mm) from the mantel height depicted on the
graph. If you plan to install a TV above your replace refer to the
appropriate section of the owner’s manual for available options. It
is acceptable to install a combustible mantel over top of the non-
combustible board.

Cool Surface System Framing
Framing Option 4: Side Discharge
Construct the framing in a way that provides two gaps, one on each side of the chase as shown in Figure 7. Each gap should be a minimum of
21 inch (533mm) by 3 inch (76mm). It is essential that these dimensions are followed and not to deviated from them when using combustible
materials inside the chase (see Figure 6).
Optional: False Ceiling
If your ceiling dimension is greater than the minimum (See Figure 1) You may want the CSS air discharge lower on the wall. This false ceiling
is required to properly evacuate heat from the chase. (See Figure 8).

Framing Option 3: Valance
A valance may be desired to accentuate or hide the CSS outlet. Consider framing option 1 or 2 to utilize the valance feature. This is an
optional decorative feature that covers up the CSS outlet gap. Minimum opening and valance dimensions must be followed to ensure safe
heat dissipation. Combustible materiel is acceptable when constructing the valance. It is acceptable to wrap the valance around the three
sides of a built out chase (Option 2).
