ZC insert installations can be built into the wall. That's why they are called ZC because, due to the casing design, require no or very small clearances to combustibles.

It would be best for your cousin to log in here and post about his installation including some pictures. We need to see what is in there before giving out advice. It may be an insert installed in a ZC fireplace.
