Nailing Flanges
Four nailing flanges are provided to secure the
fireplace to the floor (see figure below). Bend
the nailing flanges down so that each flange is
flush with the floor, then using nails or screws,
secure the fireplace to the floor (2 places each
side). The heads of the screws or nails must
be large enough to completely cover the holes
in the nailing flanges.

1. Combustible material must be installed flush
with the fireplace. It may not project in front
of and on the fireplace (i.e. the steel facade
of the fireplace) (see Figure 19).
2. Non-combustible materials such as brick,
stone or ceramic tile may project in front
of and onto the fireplace facing (see Figure
20).
IMPORTANTThe facade must be removable
once installed. The facade is
designed to overlap any facing
material installed on the front of
the fireplace. If thicker material
is installed, use the facade as a
template and make sure it can be
easily removed for servicing.
