Clearances
When installing a shelf over the top of the fireplaces, the
following must be adhered to:
For Rear Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 2" from
the rear of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible materials,
and 9" clearance from the top of the fireplace to the underside
of any combustible shelf materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 2" from
the rear of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible materials,
and 171/2" to the underside of any combustible shelf materials.
(Minimum 2" clearance must still be maintained around the
vent pipes.)
* When sheetrock is not used behind the
fireplace, framing depth may be reduced
by 5/8". When facing with the Overlay
Method the depth is increased by 1/2". See
Planning Guide for more information.

European Home supplies a variety of direct venting and
termination options. The direct vent termination location
MUST be selected such that it is the highest point in the venting
assembly. It should also be selected such that it provides the
shortest vent run possible. Should it be impossible to ensure
that the termination is the highest point or to meet the venting
guidelines laid out below please contact your European Home
dealer to discuss power venting options.
