INSTALLATION
Framing
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set
in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall
covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should
be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber. The framing headers may rest on
the fireplace standoffs. Refer to
Figure 13
for minimum framing
dimensions.
ATTENTION: Measure fireplace dimensions and verify framing
methods and wall covering details before framing construction be-
gins.
Framing dimension "A" includes a six inch clearance for
standoffs on firebox. After installing firebox into framing,
the finished wall surface must cover the six inch opening
above the firebox.

to allow for finished face when setting the depth of the frame.
3. Attach fireplace to frame using adjustable frame. Preset depth
to suit facing material (adjustable to 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4-inch depths).
4. Locate the nailing flanges on the sides of the firebox (two each
side).
6. Measure from face of fireplace to face of drywall strip to determine
final depth and adjust nailing flanges as shown in
Figure 14
