Step 2. Framing the Fireplace for DVP-Series and SL D-Series Pipe

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo- date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia- gram below shows framing reference dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.

Framing should be constructed of 2 X 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may rest on the
