Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips

Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth strips measuring approximately 23 in. x 4 in. (584 mm x 102 mm). These strips are used to provide added protection where the fireplace and the hearth ex- tension meet.

Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front edge of the fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle of the fire- place to provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 19.1. These metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm). Nail or screw metal strips in place.

Note: When elevating the fireplace above the hearth extension the front of the elevated platform must be protected with a protective metal hearth strip (not included) as shown in Figure 19.2.
