Finishing
Finish the walls with the material of your choice.
Figure 19
on
page 13 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum
horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections
above the top front edge of the fireplace.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black
fireplace front.
WARNING
When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the air
inlet/outlet in any manner. Provide adequate clearances around
air openings into the combustion chamber.
CAUTION
If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround
(top and sides) are sealed, a 300 Degree F minimum sealant mate-
rial must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only
non-combustible material (using 300 Degree F minimum adhesive
if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace surround.
