TRIM AND MANTEL INSTALLATION FOR WOOD BURNING FIREPLACES

•The fireplace face may be left exposed or trimmed. If trim is installed, fasten it securely to face of fireplace. Seal any cracks between trim material and face of fireplace. Cracks can cause a fire and prevent fireplace from working prop- erly.

•Place wall ties in mortar joints of masonry trim. Fasten wall ties to face of fireplace with sheet metal screws.

•Use only non-combustible materials below top of spacers.
