INSTALLATION / FRAMING

INSTALLATION

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

Move the fireplace into position and secure using the nail- ing tabs (2 per side) and/or secure to the floor using #10 screws (not supplied).

FRAMING

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local build- ing codes. To install the fireplace face flush with the fin- ished wall, position the framework to accommodate the thickness of the finished wall. Pull out the four nailing tabs, attached on either side of the fireplace and secure to the 2x4 framing to facilitate drywall installation.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face- areas of the fireplace. Noncombustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace system.

When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac- commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi- als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accesso- ries.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.

MANTLE CLEARANCES & ENCLOSURES

Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the man- tle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance needed.

The U-channel may be removed if framing is faced with a noncombustible material (cement board) (not supplied).

These same mantle clearance requirements apply to any combustibles protruding on either side of the fireplace.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes located in the front left and right corners of the base. For mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened in place. Use #10 screws, inserted through the holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace be secured in all installations.

In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori- zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air Terminal Installation" for installation.
