Brick Installation
Each brick housing is stamped with a number (full size bricks are not stamped). These num- bers will help identify the brick when installing. It is important to install these bricks exactly as instructed. Press brick firmly into brick housing until it snaps. Groove line on side of brick will come in contact with flange on the brick hous- ing. This secures brick into housing (see Figure 24). Smaller bricks may require a small portion of furnace cement applied to back of brick to secure it until grouting has been completed.
Bricks are packaged in separate boxes. The brick matrixes on pages 15 through 27 show how bricks are packaged and placed for each size fireplace and the number of bricks per box. There are 2 extra full bricks included in Hearth Brick package.
Install bricks one section at a time starting with hearth panel followed by the rear panel, left panel and right panel. It is important to install the bricks in sequence. Please note, full size bricks are NOT stamped.
