BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace
into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush
with wall. An optional brass trim kit accessory is available (see
Accessories, pages 36 and 37). Brass trim will extend past sides of
fireplace approximately 1/2 inch. This will cover the rough edges of
the wall opening. If installing a built-in mantel above the fireplace,
you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 10, page 10. Follow
the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner.
Note:
A qualified installer should make all electrical connections.
3.
Install gas piping to fireplace location. This installation includes
an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after
the equipment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the
last item installed on the gas piping.
4.
If you have not installed hood, follow instructions on page 4.
5.
Carefully set fireplace in front of rough opening with back of
fireplace inside wall opening.
6.
Attach flexible gas line to fireplace gas regulator. See Con-
necting Equipment Shutoff Valve to Heater Control, page 15.
7.
Bend four nailing flanges on outer casing with pliers (see
Figure 9).
8.
Attach fireplace to wall studs using nails or wood screws
through holes in nailing flange.

Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Con-
nections, page 16.
10. If using optional brass trim kit, install the trim after final fin-
ishing and/or painting of wall. See instructions included with
brass trim accessory for attaching brass trim.
IMPORTANT:
When finishing your firebox, combustible materials
such as wall board, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc.
may be butted up next to the sides and top edge of the firebox.
Combustible materials should never overlap the firebox front facing.
