To install the fi replace face
fl ush with the fi nished sur-
face, position the framework
to accommodate the thick-
ness of the fi nished surface.
Bend out the four nailing
tabs, attached on either side
of the fi replace and secure
to the 2x4 framing. The
tabs will facilitate the instal-
lation of either a
3 /
4
” or a 1”
fi nished surface thickness.
The nailing tabs must not
be removed.

It is best to frame your fi replace after it is positioned. Use
2x4’s and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 4-6.

Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance
needed.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front
of the fi replace but must not cover any of the outer frame
face-areas of the fi replace. Non-combustible material (brick,
stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fi replace system.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials,
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 fl ashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a
minimum of 4 feet away from the front face.
