3.0 Framing
3.1 Appliance Placement Considerations
Read all documentation for your specific installation and design options prior
to appliance installation. WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the appliance
should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. FIRE
HAZARD: Do NOT install this appliance directly on carpeting, vinyl, or any
other combustible material other than wood. Note: Unless otherwise noted all
clearances / images in this manual are based off of nominal 2″ x 4″ framing
being used. · This appliance must be installed on a level surface ca-
pable of supporting the fireplace and venting. If possible, place the
fireplace in a position where the vent terminates between two studs,
eliminating the need for any additional framing. · This fireplace may be
installed in a bedroom. · Please be aware of the large amount of heat this
fireplace will produce when determining a location.
3.2 Appliance Installation Options
This appliance offers several design options for managing the heat produced by
this fireplace. Note: When deciding on which design option suites your
application please review all sections throughout this manual as different
design options have different framing, facing, and finishing options and
requirements. · Standard Installation will be outlined in this manual in
sections marked `standard installation’ and must be followed if no design
options (Komfort Zone Kit) are to be used. The fireplace chamber and ceiling
minimum height must be 72″ (1829mm) for standard installations. Only the
safety barriers shown in Figure 2.2 are allowed for this installation
scenario. · Komfort Zone Kit (KZK) offers the option to redistribute radiant
heat through plenum(s). This option allows for combustible facing materials
above the fireplace, heat reduction for a TV above the fireplace, and lower
mantel clearances. See section 4.0, Heat Management on page 21. If installing
a Komfort Zone Kit (#KZK-036 or #KZK-1510A), the framing requirements may be
different than the standard dimensions listed in this section. Please
reference the manual included with your kit before completing all fireplace
framing and other installation considerations. The fireplace chamber and
ceiling minimum height must be 82″ (2083mm) for KZK options. Safety barriers
shown in Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.3 are allowed for installation when using an
approved Komfort Zone Kit. Safety barriers shown in Figure 2.3 are only
allowed for use with an approved Kozy Zone Kit. · Kozy Power Vent is a fan-
powered mechanical draft vent system (horizontal terminations only) for use
with any of the design options listed previously in this section (Standard or
Komfort Zone Kit). Reference the #KPV manual for all system requirements.
Utilizing the Kozy Power Vent system will not change facing and finishing
requirements or safety barrier requirements from the Standard or Komfort Zone
Kit design options.
3.3 Floor Support and Protection
· Floor protection in front of the fireplace is not required. Combustible
material may be used if installing a hearth extension. Consider the thickness
of the hearth extension finishing material if building a fireplace platform.
The bottom of the fireplace must be level with finished hearth extension for
proper fit of a safety barrier.
· If this appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, this appliance shall be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
appliance.
· If the appliance is to be installed above floor level, a solid, continuous
platform must be constructed below the appliance.
3.4 Setting the Appliance
· This section outlines information on setting the appliance in the framed
opening and starting the installation process.
· Decide on your appliance installation option mentioned in Section 3.2 before
setting the appliance. Your framing requirements, clearance to combustibles,
and vent configuration will depend upon this decision.
IMPORTANT: If you are using a KZK appliance installation option refer to
Section 2.4 for important safety barrier information and Section 4.0 for
additional preparation steps that must be completed before setting the
appliance in the framed opening. General Procedure Frame your opening based on
your selected appliance installa-
tion option. Refer to Section 3.8 for information for the framed opening of
the standard installation option. If you are using a KZK installation option
refer to the KZK manual for framing. Lay out the path for your vent run before
installing appliance. We recommend installing the finishing trim kit. This
provides a shadow box around the required safety barrier. Your finishing
material will butt up against the finishing trim. Refer to Section 5.2 for
installation of finishing trim kit. If you are using the finishing trim kit,
this must be installed before the following steps. Install the nailing flanges
on the appliance. Refer to Section 3.6 for assembly and installation. The
nailing flanges are where you secure your appliance to the framed opening. The
framing will be flush with the appliance when it is installed. Assemble and
install the top stand-off assembly. Refer to Section 3.5 for more information
on the top stand-off assembly. This stand-off assembly provides the necessary
thermal protection of the header. Place the fireplace inside the framed
opening and secure the appliance into the framing. The fireplace will be flush
with the framing. If you use the finishing trim kit, the trim kit will stick
past the framing as the finishing material will butt up against the trim. The
next steps would involve installing the KZK (if applicable), vent pipe,
connect gas line, connect electrical wiring, and finally finishing material.

3.8 Wall Enclosure Rough Framing
Note: Unless otherwise noted all clearances / images in this manual are based
off of nominal 2″ x 4″ framing being used.
3.8.1 Rough Framing
WARNING: Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion
chamber. Provide adequate clearance in front of the fireplace for barrier
removal, component access, gas line installation, service access, etc.
CAUTION: Cold air transfer area. The surround fireplace chase must comply with
all clearances as outlined in this manual, and be constructed in compliance
with local building codes. Outside walls should be insulated to prevent cold
air from entering room. Rough-in dimensions outlined in FIGURE 3.4 below are
the same for all design options and must be followed. · Floor protection in
front of the fireplace is not required.
Combustible material may be used if installing a hearth extension. Consider
the thickness of the hearth extension finishing material if building a
fireplace platform. The hearth may be flush with the bottom finishing edge of
the fireplace. · The bottom of the fireplace must be placed directly on a wood
or non-combustible surface (not linoleum or carpet). If this appliance is to
be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other
than wood flooring, this appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
· Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness and fireplace
facing materials.
· If masonry (optional) is to be used, prepare the foundation necessary for
the full masonry load. A lintel must be used over the top of the appliance to
support the added weight of the masonry construction above the fireplace.
3.8.2 Mounting a Television Above a Fireplace and Television Recess
Construction
WARNING: All clearances to venting must be maintained. · Mounting a television
above a fireplace is a common
practice. Mantel depth, ceiling heights, and wall and mantel construction
material all affect television surface temperatures. Most television
manufacturers specify in their instructions that a television should not be
installed on, near, or above a heat source. · If you want a Television above a
fireplace it is highly recommended install the fireplace with the KZK
installation design option. Refer to Section 3.2 for more information on the
KZK design. Install the plenum discharge above the location of a television.
This will help distribute heat from below the TV to above the TV. We also
recommend the use of a mantel to deflect heat away from the television. ·
Television location rests solely on the homeowner. It is the home owner’s
responsibility that the preferred TV mounting and mantel design will not
exceed the listed maximum operation temperature of their electronic goods.

8.2 Venting Requirements
NOTE: Consult the local and national installation codes to assure adequate
combustion and ventilation air is available. Venting requirements apply to
both natural gas and propane. · Flame height and appearance will vary
depending
upon venting configuration and the type of fuel used. · Provide a means for
visually checking the vent con-
nection to the appliance after the fireplace is installed. · A minimum of 1″
(25mm) clearance on all sides of the vertical vent pipe must be maintained.
Attic insulation shields may be insulated using unfaced insulation products
listed as noncombustible per ASTM E 136. · A minimum of 1″ (25mm) clearance on
the top, sides, and bottom of the horizontal vent pipe must be maintained.
Wall thimble products that comply with the required clearances to combustibles
must be installed for all horizontal vent runs that pass through interior or
exterior walls. These wall thimble products may be insulated using unfaced
insulation products listed as noncombustible per ASTM E 136. · The provided
vent heat shield is required to be installed in all venting scenarios. See
Figure 8.1. The stand off assembly and heat shields are cut away in this image
to show the vent heat shield better. · The gas appliance cannot be connected
to a chimney flue that is serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance. ·
Horizontal vent sections require at least 1/4″ (6mm) rise for every 12″
(305mm) of travel.
8.3 Vent Restriction
· Burner flame appearance and characteristics are affected by altitude, fuel
quality, venting configuration, and other factors. To achieve desirable flame
appearance, the vent exhaust may be restricted by the restrictor plate
(included in components packet).
· The restrictor plate is shipped with all inner rings intact, and when
installed, provides the most vent restriction. There are (2) inner rings that
can be knocked out. As you knock out and remove an inner ring you have less
vent restriction where removing both inner rings you will have the least
amount of vent restriction.
· Follow FIGURE 8.2 for restrictor plate installation before attaching venting
or through the baffle if venting is already attached. For vent restriction
plate recommendations and adjustments, see section 12.2.3, Vent Restriction
(after installation).
8.4 Use of Flexible Venting Outside the Appliance Enclosure
· If an approved venting manufacturer offers flexible venting options that can
replace rigid vent pipe follow the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
· Flexible vent pipe can only be used outside of the appliance enclosure.
· Flexible vent pipe cannot be used to terminate the vent system horizontally
or vertically.
