Recommended Installation Procedure
Important Notes Regarding Framing
We strongly suggest framing around the fireplace after it is in place.
Because this fireplace is
especially large and requires hookups from the side (or bottom), framing is best installed after the
fireplace and vent are in place.. The header and framing above the fireplace is best installed after the
vent is installed (this allows for proper framing placement to ensure all clearances are met).
1.
Prepare the installation location. If placing the fireplace on a platform, build the platform, making
sure to accommodate the weight of the fireplace and venting. Verify the platform is level ande
plumb.
2.
Install the periphery components:
a) Install the power exhaust vent (and power exhaust blower assembly).
b) Install the air intake(s).
c) Install the gas line.
d) Install the electrical line, on/off switch, and LED controller.
3.
Test operation of the fireplace before attaching facing or drywall (this can be done with no
crushed glass and the outer glass panes removed). This allows the installer to verify all
connections and diagnose issues with the fireplace exterior accessible.
4.
Frame the area around the fireplace.
5.
Install the drywall and/or facing.
6.
Install the hearth (if applicable).
7.
Install the mantel (if applicable).
8.
Finalize the installation (see page 57).
