Installation Clearances
Clearances to Combustibles
The Lennox Merit
t
Series vented fireplaces / vented fire-
place heaters are approved with zero clearance to com-
bustible materials on all sides (as detailed in table 2), with
the following exception: When the unit is installed with
one side flush with a wall, the wall on the other side of the
unit must not extend beyond the front edge of the unit. In
addition, when the unit is recessed, the side walls sur-
rounding the unit must not extend beyond the front edge
of the unit. See figure 2.
Mantel Clearances
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels
vary according to the depth of the mantel. Figure 3 details
these required clearances. Mantels constructed of non-
combustible materials may be installed at any height
above the appliance opening; however, do not allow any-
thing to hang below the eyebrow.
NOTE - Paint or lacquer used to finish the mantel must be
heat resistant in order to avoid discoloration.
