The directions in the Bruce flooring says 3/4. I thought that was a lot and I asked the guy at the flooring store and he said if it gets wet it will push the walls off the framing. He could have just made that up however. The trim is usually the baseboard and a quarter round.

I have yet to see a wood floor push framing out of the floor.
The wood will buckle long before it gets to the point of pushing framing. I do lots of hardwood flooring and believe me 3/4 of an inch gap is way too much.
Did you get this product at Home Depot or Lowes?
The reason I ask is through my experience the people there don't know a lot about installations.
