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 or heavier. The framing headers
may rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 8 for minimum
framing dimensions.
CAUTION
MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING
METHODS, AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE
FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
Framing dimension "A" includes a 12" (304 mm) clearance
for standoffs on firebox. After installing firebox into framing,
the finished wall surface must cover the 12" (304mm)
opening above the firebox. Board provided with fireplace.
