Fireplace specifications and drawings — for the people who draw and build

Architect guides, CAD drawings, CSI specifications and Revit families for the hearth lines we carry, plus a dealer who answers the technical question on the first call instead of promising to find out. If the wall isn’t framed yet, this is the right moment to talk.

    The fireplace decides
    more than how it looks

    A hearth appliance sets the rough opening, the venting path and its terminations, the clearances to combustibles, the gas line, and the outlet behind the unit. Chosen late, it gets fitted to whatever is already framed — and that’s where the change orders come from. Chosen early, it’s a line on the drawing like any other. Send us the plans and we’ll come back with models that fit the wall you’re drawing, with the documents attached.

    What you get from us

    • The document set Architect guide, CAD, CSI section and Revit family for the model you’re specifying — sent as a set, not one file at a time.
    • A technical answer, not a brochure Venting runs and terminations, clearances, framing dimensions, gas and electrical. If we don’t know, we say so and come back the same day.
    • Lead times before you commit We check stock before a date goes on your schedule. Hearth stock moves daily in the fall, so we confirm rather than promise.
    • Coordination through to the installer We sell and specify; licensed partners do the gas, venting, and wiring. We hand over the specification and stay reachable until the unit is in.

    Specifying a hearth on a drawing set? Send the plan and the wall elevation. We come back with the models that fit it and the architect guide, CAD, CSI section and Revit family as one set.

    Ask for the document set
    Outdoor Lifestyles

    Outdoor Lifestyles — outdoor fireplaces

    Outdoor gas and wood-burning fireplaces, including indoor/outdoor see-through units that are detailed into the wall assembly from both sides.

    Files open on the manufacturer’s own servers, so you always get the current revision — we don’t host copies that could go stale. Specifying a brand that’s not listed here? Ask: we carry more hearth lines than we publish document sets for, and we’ll get the files from the manufacturer’s rep.

    Need a date you can put on the schedule? Give us the model and the week it has to land on site. We check stock with the distributor and confirm, rather than promise — hearth stock moves daily in the fall.

    Ask about lead times
    How it works

    From drawing set
    to a unit in the wall

    • 01. Send what you have A plan set, an elevation, a sketch, or a photo of the existing opening. Tell us the fuel available at the wall and whether the roof or sidewall is reachable for venting.
    • 02. We come back with options Two or three models that fit, with the trade-offs explained — and the architect guide, CAD and CSI section for each, so you can drop them straight into the set.
    • 03. Specification and quote A written quote with the equipment, options, and the lead time we have actually confirmed. Change the plan later and we re-issue it.
    • 04. Order and hand-off We place the order, track delivery to your schedule, and pass the installation details to your contractor — or to one of the installation partners we have worked with before.

    What builders and architects ask us

    Yes — usually the same day. The sets above cover Majestic, SimpliFire and Outdoor Lifestyles. For the other hearth lines we carry, ask and we’ll get the current files from the manufacturer’s rep. Tell us the model and the size and we’ll send the whole set rather than one file.

    Before framing. The appliance sets the rough opening, the venting path and its termination, the clearances to combustibles, the gas line, and the outlet behind the unit. After the wall is framed the choice narrows to what fits the hole, and that’s usually a change order.

    No. We sell, specify, and coordinate; licensed specialists do the gas, venting, and wiring. Jesse isn’t a licensed contractor, and for gas the code wouldn’t allow it anyway. We lock in the installer’s price before you order and take nothing for the installation — see how we work.

    Drawings are usually enough, and for new construction they are better than a visit. For a renovation, photos of the existing opening and three measurements — width, height, depth — settle most questions. We meet on site when something doesn’t add up on paper.

    Most hearth equipment arrives in under two weeks, some lines in about one. Stock moves daily through the fall, so we check before a date goes on your schedule instead of quoting a number from memory.

    The document sets above are the hearth lines with published professional files. We carry more than that — see the brands we carry — and for outdoor kitchens and home theater and audio we specify alongside the hearth on the same project.

    For the drawing set

    Send us the plans

    A plan set, an elevation, or a photo of the opening is enough to start. We come back with models that fit, the documents attached, and a lead time we have checked — not one we have assumed.
