Installation

WARNING

Risk of Fire.

• Follow these instructions exactly.

• Facing materials must be installed properly

to prevent fire.

No materials may be substituted without authorization by Hearth & Home

Technologies.

TOOLS NEEDED: Powered drill with #2 Phillips head bit; caulking gun.

1.Secure the fireplace to the floor or wall framing studs at a minimum of two attachment points to prevent further movement of the fireplace. The same holes and L brack- ets that attached the fireplace to the pallet may be used to secure the fireplace to the sub flooring by using a mini- mum of two 1/4 in. x 2 in. lag bolts or equivalent. Refer to Figure 42.1 and install the two metal hearth strips at this time.

NOTE: All boards are pre-drilled for your convenience.

Boards MUST be attached in the following order: bottom, top, and then the two sides.

2.Attach the bottom board to the bottom of the outer fire- place can with enclosed screws, ensuring the board is centered.

3.Center and attach the top board to the outer can and framing members.

4.Using the Super Calstick, run a light bead (1/8 in. mini- mum) on the butt edges of the top board. See Figure 42.2.

5.Ensuring the top of the side pieces and the top board align, attach the side pieces to the outer can and framing members.

6.Use a wet or dry towel or a soft brush to remove any dust or dirt from facing material. Apply a non-combustible adhesive to attach tile, stone or other non-combustible fin- ishing materials per manufacturer’s instructions.

7.The non-combustible Super Calstick may be used for sealing between the fireplace and the hearth extension.

Refer to Figure 42.3.
