Clearance to combustables for Quad7100

[dannyjrobinson]

Just trying to check all the details on Quad clearances. Can anyone decipher the install docs to help.

I'm trying to understand if there's a specific width to the fireplace stonework/non-combustible at either side of the fireplace unit before the drywall/combustible can be exposed.

Thanks,

I don't need the manual for this one

The fireplace will come with some non-combustible board which you attach to the face. From there you can butt drywall right up to the edges of this. None of this drywall needs to be covered. For a minimal facing you could just cover the non-combustible board with some ceramic tile overlapping the drywall a little to cover the edges. This would be legit as far as I know. The front fasica would then actually overlap the tile a little bit giving it a really clean finished look.

That is with everything flush with the non-comb board, if you plan on having any walls project out then you need to follow the mantle and sidewall clearances.

Any more questions let me know.
