Figure 10.10	Nail or screw metal strips in place.

1.Secure the fireplace to the floor or wall framing studs at a minimum of two attachment points to prevent fur- ther movement of the fireplace. The same holes and L brackets that attached the fireplace to the pallet may be used to secure the fireplace to the sub flooring by using a minimum of two 1/4 in. x 2 in. lag bolts or equivalent. Refer to Figure 10.10 and install the two metal hearth strips at this time.

NOTE: All boards are pre-drilled for your conve- nience. 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 10.11

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

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

7.The non-combustible Super Calstick may be used for sealing between the fireplace and the hearth exten- sion. Refer to Figure 10.12.
