NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
1)Attach the nailing tabs to the corner posts
using the 2 sheet metal screws sup- plied. Secure through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nailing tab and then through the existing holes in the corner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow these instructions:
Position the nailing tab so that the front face is offset with the front edge of the corner post (approx. ½"). Cen- tre the nailing tab vertically on the cor- ner post.
Figure 12 a.
Drill through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure using the two sheet metal screws supplied. This allows the nailing tab to slide back and forth for desired framing. Figure 12 b.
2)To determine the final location of the nailing tab you must first determine the thickness of your finishing mate- rial (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal screw*. Figure 12 c.
*Additional set screws may be installed.
MANTLE CLEARANCES
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear- ance needed.
