The install requirements of your fireplace are dependent on several 

factors. Gas line location, electrical connection, gas line type and 

decorative surround options can play into the install. These factors 

should be considered when determining framing and layout of 

your fireplace.

Note:

 four sided surrounds will require a raised installation.

Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing materials. The 

framed opening for the assembled fireplace is 42" wide, x 42" high 

x 21 7/8" deep, see  Figure 2

.

NOTE: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure 

there is access to install the gas line when the unit is installed. 

See Figure 21.
