IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING
IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE INNER WALLS OF
THE APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE BE “FINISHED” (I.E.: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD
FINISH ANY OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLES IS MAINTAINED WITHIN THE CAVITY.
A MINIMUM OF 6 INCHES (152.4MM) TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IS REQUIRED TO BOTH SIDES
OF THE APPLIANCE, SEE "MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES" SECTION.
WHEN CONSTRUCTING THE ENCLOSURE ALLOW FOR FINISHING MATERIAL THICKNESS TO
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES. FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS
LISTED MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. MATERIALS
CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF STEEL, IRON, BRICK, TILE, CONCRETE, SLATE, GLASS OR PLASTERS,
OR ANY COMBINATION THEREOF ARE SUITABLE. MATERIALS THAT ARE REPORTED AS PASSING
ASTM E 136, STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS IN A VERTICAL TUBE
FURNACE AT 750°C AND UL763 SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
PRIOR TO FRAMING, REFER TO "CATALYST PROBE INSTALLATION" SECTION.
