WHEN ENCLOSING YOUR FIREPLACE THE USE OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE BUILDING MATERIALS IS REQUIRED. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Materials that can catch fire and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with;wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material that can catch fire and burn is considered combustible.
Even though these materials may have been ‘flame-proofed’, made ‘fire- resistant’ or are ‘fire-rated’ they are considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall are both combustible.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A material is non-combustible when it cannot catch fire and burn. For example, materials made of stone, brick, concrete, tile, steel, plaster or glass are non-combustible.
Since this fireplace may be installed only outdoors, it is important to select materials that are suited for outdoor conditions.

ENCLOSING THE FIREPLACE/FRAMING
All enclosures for the JVF-40H fireplace require an air inlet and an air outlet. These openings in the enclosure must allow for the free flow of air through the unit.
The air inlet opening must be located on the same side of the fireplace as the gas control and should be located near the bottom of the fireplace. This is the left side when facing the single sided model and either side on the see- through. The air outlet can be on any vertical surface above the unit. The air inlet opening and the air outlet opening must be covered with a grill that has a free area of at least 36 in2 (233 cm2). The grill opening should be small enough to prevent bugs, mice and other pests from accessing the enclosure. When choosing a grill, give consideration to its rain and/or weather resistance to ensure that as little weather gets inside the enclosure as possible. A small hood at the top of the grill is recommended for improved weather resistance. Make sure these hoods and grills do not effect the air intake.
IMPORTANT
From the air inlet to the controls side of the unit, there must be a chase baffle must be built to prevent air from passing around the back or top of the unit: Figure 13 below.

DO NOT PASS THIS PAGE uNlESS yOu HAVE uNDERSTANDING OF THE CHASE BAFFlE

ROUGH OPENING / FRAMING
A wall switch is included in a water-tight control box. Installation of the control box must be where children cannot reach for safety reasons.

Accumulated rain water will drain from a 7/8” (22.3mm) opening in the center rear of the fireplace bottom. This opening must not be blocked see Figures 19 & 20 for drain placement. The water which runs through this opening will accumulate in the base of your enclosure and must be allowed to drain away from the enclosure. An appropriate length of 11/2” – 2” PVC pipe installed at the base of the enclosure which runs down and out, is recommended. These openings must be checked for blockage periodically.

While combustible framing is permitted, metal framing is more appropriate for an outdoor enclosure. A typical installation is shown.

The fireplace is then placed in the framing.

The facing is applied to the framing.
The JVF-40H fireplace can come with one of two burners: a Campfire Burner or a linear Burner.
As you can see in the below images, the campfire kit only comes with a log set and the flames are higher and towards the center of the unit while the linear burner comes with fireglass or stones to cover the burner and the lights. Both fireplaces produce the same BTu and need the same pressures for Natural Gas and Propane.
