INSTALLATION

FINISHING THE

WARMHEARTH

Completing the Facing

Facing materials must be thin veneer (non-self supporting facades) or self supporting facades. If you are installing a thin veneer facade the Regency Masonry Retainer Kit (Part # 000-920) is recommended. All facades must be Non- Combustible such as brick, rock or ceramic tile. See Clearance to Combustible diagram at the beginning of this manual to determine the extent to which you must use non-combustible materials. Gypsum wallboard is not non-com- bustible. Diagram 1.

Diagram 1

Extend unit past studs so it is flush with sheeting.

Do not restrict air flow through the inlet and outlet louvers of the fire- place. This will cause overheating and possi- ble ignition of sur- rounding materials.

1)Install heavy expanded metal only on the top half of the fireplace using a drill to pre-drill holes and install using tap screws at loca- tions as indicated on kit.

2)Install metal edging of kit on each side of the doors making sure the edges fit nicely with the arch edge above.

3)Cover the rest of the area with wire mesh or metal lath, overlapping around the heavy expanded metal. Make sure nails or staples used for fastening mesh penetrate studs at least 1 in.

4)Mortar must be "thin set" or "thin bed" type inherently polymer modified. If not modified, you should add a synthetic latex additive. Mix to a firm, moist consistency. Using a plasterer's or mason's trowel apply mortar 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. thick to prepared surface area. Do not spread more than a workable area so that the mortar will not set up before stone or brick is applied.

Note: Remove the fireplace doors and louvers and store them in a safe place until all the masonry work is finished. Acid from the cleaning operation will permanently dam- age gold plating.

5)If additional mortar is required, use a grout bag to fill in joints. Care must be taken to avoid smearing on the surface of stone or brick. Accidental smears should be re- moved only after mortar has become crum- bly, using a whisk broom or dry bristle brush. Do not use a wet brush or a wire brush.

6)When mortar joints have become firm (thumb- print dry) they should be pointed up with a wood stick or metal jointing tool.

Masonry Retainer Kit Option

For a non-selfsupporting veneer finish only.

1) Framing and plywood cannot ex- tend past the side and top stand- off spacers. Allow for the thick- ness of the wall sheathing when framing so that the front of the WarmHearth and the wall sheath- ing are flush.

2)Unscrew the top stand-off

and move the ceramic blan- ket forward so it will be tight against the mesh to make a seal.

3) Mesh must be positioned one way only to allow the mortar to hold and not slide off. Place "Middle" mesh (A) on the front and position top grill edge frame. Check di- mensions from opening and mark and drill screw holes. Depending on the installa- tion, heavier reinforcing wire screen may be required to bridge the stand-off spacer area around the perimeter of the unit. Hold in position with 2 screws while the door arch is centered.
