What is Zero-Clearance Fireplace?

So named because its listing permits specified minimal clearances to combustibles — a permission that belongs to the tested assembly, not to fireplaces generally. Modifying such a unit, or substituting non-listed components into it, voids the basis on which that clearance was allowed.
