Figure 16 - Grouting Brick

GROUTING INSTRUcTIONS

Material provided:

1  or  2  -  10  lb.  bags  of  cement  (depending 
on model)
1  or  2  -  10  lb.  bags  of  sand  (depending 
on model)

Material required:

1 - Piping bag
1 - Joints striker
1 - Heavy duty mixing bucket

1 - Trowel
1.  Moisten brick surface with damp sponge 

or  spray  bottle  just  prior  to  application. 

When  bricks  are  wet,  any  excess  grout 
mixture on bricks will easily wipe off.

2.  In a heavy duty mixing bucket, pour seven 

(7) cups of water. Add 5 lbs. (half of a bag) 

of sand and 5 lbs (half of a bag) of cement. 

Mix together well using a power drill with 
mixing wand attachment.

3.  The overall length of piping bag should be 

about 16". If the bag is longer than 16", 
cut it down to size by removing end with 
larger  opening.  This  will  make  the  bag 

easier to handle.

4.  Put 2 to 3 cups of grout mixture into piping 

bag making sure the smaller opening is 

downward and over a moist towel to avoid 
spilling. Place a wet towel over the bucket 

making sure it is directly on the surface of 

grout mixture. This will keep the mixture 
moist and it will not dry out before use.

5.  Begin  grouting  by  first  doing  a  “Filler 

Pass”. This is done by filling the joint about 
3/4 full with grout mixture. It is important 
to  work  with  only  6  bricks  at  a  time  so 

grout doesn't have time to set up before 
striking.

6.  Complete  a  “Finishing  Pass”  around  6 

bricks you just put filler pass around. This 
is done by slowly filling in remainder of the 
joint with a thick amount of grout mixture. 

Mixture should be a little higher than the 
brick surface.

7.  Using a trowel, remove excess grout mix

-

ture by moving trowel in the direction of the 
joint. Grout mixture in the joint should now 
be flush with brick surface.

8.  Using a joint striker, force grout mixture 

into  joint  and  sweep  back  and  forth 

until grout is smooth and round. If grout 

becomes  too  shallow,  add  more  grout 
mixture with piping bag and strike again.

9.  Continue procedure around each group of 

6 bricks until an entire panel is finished.

10. Using trowel, scrape in direction of joints 

to remove any grout that may have col-
lected  around  bricks  during  striking.  If 
desired, take a moist sponge and lightly 

sweep  over  bricks  to  remove  any  grout 

that may have gotten on bricks. DO NO 

PRESS HARD OR RUB IN A CIRCULAR 
MOTION.  This  will  press  the  grout  into 

brick and turn brick a different color.

Allow 72 hours before 

operating fireplace.

INSTALLING FIREpLAcE HOOD 
AND ScREEN

1.  Attach hood to firebox using screws pro

-

vided (see Figure 17).

2.  Mount screen rod brackets on left and right 

side of smoke shelf with #8 x 1/2" screws 

provided (see Figure 18, page 

29

).
