lap strips at least 1/2" (13 mm) to provide a positive joint. (Flat safety strips are packed with fireplace.) (Fig. 13)

Safety strips are used to ensure that any combustible materials in front of the fireplace are protected even though a noncombustible hearth extension is required.

If fireplace is to be elevated above the floor, a “Z” shaped metal safety strip must be fabricated and used to protect combustible surfaces in front of the fireplace. This “Z” shaped safety strip is not provided but must be fabricated of metal with each horizontal leg at least 1¹⁄₂" (38mm) wide and equal in length to the metals strips provided with the fireplace.

NOTE: Safety strips are not required over noncombus- tible floors where all supports at the base of the fire- place are noncombustible.

Four (4) nailing flanges are incorporated on each corner of the surround. Bend the nailing flanges out, level the box, then secure it firmly in place by nailing the flanges to the framing members as shown in Figure 14.
