Allow 8\" (20.3 cm) of service cable if you connect before the wall is finished, or up to 4 ft (121.9 cm) if you connect afterwards. Wall switches, a flame override switch and a single-pole wall thermostat can be wired in as described in the installation guide; a flame override switch is not for no-heat installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe firebox is for indoor use only and is not watertight; keep it away from tubs and showers.
