The safety strips should extend in front and sides of the fireplace opening 2" (51 mm) . In the event a wooden support is used to elevate the fireplace above the floor, a “Z” type safety strip should be fabricated and used to protect the front surface of the wood support as well as the floor beneath the hearth extension (see Figures 8 and 9 ). The safety strips should be tacked down to prevent possible movement.
Note: The “Z” type safety strip is not supplied.
Step 3. Refer to fireplace drawings and specifications on pages 7 and 8 for framing dimensions and details. False header may be positioned directly on top of the fireplace spacers (see Figures 10, 11 and 12 ).
