Figure #3: Fireplace Framing Figure #4: Possible Chimney Configurations

FRAMING

The construction of the framing, facing, and mantel must be in accordance with the standards and the

following illustrations (figures 2 and 3):

Frame the fireplace using 2" × 3" (5 cm x 8 cm) or heavier lumber.

WARNING: COMBUSTIBLE FRAMING MATERIAL CANNOT BE USED IN THE SPACE

DIRECTLY ABOVE THE FIREPLACE, EXCEPT FOR THE STUDS ABOVE THE FACING

THAT SUPPORT THE FACING MATERIAL AND MANTEL. THIS AREA MUST REMAIN

EMPTY FOR A HEIGHT OF 7′ (2,15 M) MEASURED FROM THE BASE OF THE

APPLIANCE.

Frame the fireplace with vertical studs at the sides of the fireplace running from floor to ceiling (see

figure 3). Position the studs back from the front edge of the fireplace, a space the thickness of the facing

material so that the facing can be installed flush with the fireplace facing (within limitations of figure 3). Frame

headers between the vertical studs only as follows:

Place 2" × 3" or 2" × 4" headers, only along the upper part of the front, side and back faces. Do not put

wood or any combustible material within the area above the fireplace except on the front facing.

Place headers only as required to support the facing and mantel.

WARNING:

DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER

MATERIALS.

WARNING:

THE FIREPLACE MUST NOT BE IN CONTACT WITH ANY INSULATION OR

LOOSE FILLING MATERIAL. COVER THE INSULATION WITH GYPROC PANELS

AROUND THE FIREPLACE.
