3.If a raised platform is to be constructed. ceiling clearances must be maintained.

4.Install gas piping to firebox location. See Installing Gas Line on page 10 and Connecting to Gas Supply in log set owner’s manual.

IMPORTANT: If installing blower acces- sory. See Hard-Wiring Firebox, page 11.

5.Carefully set firebox in front of rough opening.

6.Carefully insert firebox into rough opening.

7.Attach firebox to wall studs using nails or wood screws through holes in nail- ing flange (see Figure 10). Attach fire- box to board base through holes in fire- box bottom (see Figure 10).

IMPORTANT: When finishing your fire- box, combustible materials such as wall board, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc. may be butted up next to the side and top of the firebox. Combustible materials should never overlap the firebox front facing more than 3/8".

WARNING: Do not allow any combustible materials to overlap the firebox front facing (see Fig- ure 9).

IMPORTANT: Noncombustible materials such as brick, tile, etc. may overlap the front facing, but should never cover any neces- sary openings like louvered slots.

WARNING: Never modify or cover the louvered slots on the front of the firebox.

WARNING: Use only noncom- bustible mortar or adhesives when overlapping the front fac- ing with noncombustible facing material.

FBPS specifications

Desa FBPS, or Flexible Building Production System, is an innovative approach to construction that leverages advanced technologies to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and adaptability in building design and construction. This system is gaining traction in the industry due to its versatility and ability to integrate new methodologies suitable for various construction environments.

One of the main features of Desa FBPS is its modular design. This allows for the construction of buildings using pre-fabricated components, which can be assembled on-site with minimal disruption. This modularity not only speeds up the construction process but also reduces waste, as components are manufactured in a controlled environment where precision and quality can be more easily maintained.

Another significant characteristic of Desa FBPS is its use of smart technologies. The system incorporates IoT (Internet of Things) devices, enabling real-time monitoring of building conditions, energy consumption, and other critical parameters. This data-driven approach facilitates timely decision-making and maintenance, improving the overall longevity and functionality of the buildings.

Sustainability is a core principle of Desa FBPS. The system prioritizes eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs, often utilizing renewable energy sources and advanced insulation technologies. This focus on sustainability not only lowers the carbon footprint of construction but also results in long-term savings on energy costs for occupants.

Desa FBPS also emphasizes flexibility in design. Buildings constructed using this system can be easily expanded or modified to adapt to changing needs. This flexibility is particularly advantageous in urban areas where space is at a premium and evolving residential or commercial demands necessitate rapid responses from developers.

Additionally, the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology plays a crucial role in Desa FBPS. BIM allows for the visualization of a building throughout its lifecycle, facilitating better planning, collaboration among stakeholders, and improved project management.

In summary, Desa FBPS represents a paradigm shift in construction practices, characterized by modular design, smart technology integration, sustainability, and design flexibility. Its forward-thinking approach positions it as a leader in modern construction, addressing the growing demands for efficient and adaptable building solutions in a rapidly evolving world.
