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.

NOTE: If an optional blower (Model FK-200) is to be installed, a 12 x 12 inch (305mm x 305mm) access hole must be framed into the wall (see Figure 3).

Framing should be constructed of 2 X 4 lumber or heavier.
