Framing Dimensions
Give these to your builder before framing. Note the taller header height on this model, and the alternate widths — a fresh air intake or a forced air kit needs a wider framed opening for a centred installation:
| Framing width — standard |
41 7/8" (1,062 mm) |
| Framing width — with fresh air intake |
60 3/4" (1,543 mm) |
| Framing width — with forced air kit |
72 3/4" (1,848 mm) |
| Height to first header |
49 5/8" (1,260 mm) |
| Framing depth |
24 1/2" (622 mm) |
| Total framing height |
80" (2,032 mm) |
Clearances to Combustible Material
| Maximum mantel depth |
3" (76 mm) |
| Minimum mantel distance from the door opening |
8" (203 mm) |
| Side wall, measured from the door opening |
21" (533 mm) |
| Minimum distance to the wall in front |
36" (914 mm) |
| Minimum ceiling height, measured from the base of the fireplace |
80" (2,032 mm) |
| Enclosure — back, sides and floor beneath the fireplace |
0" (zero clearance) |
| Chimney clearance to combustibles |
2" (51 mm) |
| Minimum chimney height |
15' (4.6 m) |
The 21" side wall clearance is considerably more generous than the Lafayette II's 13", so the Dallaire II needs a wider wall than its framing width alone suggests. Worth checking early.
