Locating Firebox
Place firebox in framing opening. Use the tabs on the side of the
firebox to attach firebox to framing. Different tab locations can be
used for finishing materials with thicknesses of 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch.
See Figure 8.
Framing tabs should fit directly against framing material. Use at
least one nail per bracket to secure in place.
Check squareness of the firebox prior to securing to framed opening.
See Figure 9.
Figure 8
A black hood that is furnished with each firebox (or optional hood)
MUST be installed before the firebox is used. Failure to do so
may create a possible fire hazard. The hood is located behind
upper louver, or inside the firebox on flush face units. If brass,
stainless steel, or hammered pewter hoods are desired, they can
be purchased as an option. Attachment is the same as the standard
black hood.
Flush Face Models
1. On flush face models, loosely attach two screws (A) to hold the
firebox top to face panel, then slide the hood flange between the
firebox top and face panel and re-tighten the screws.
2. Install one screw at each end of the hood as shown (C).
Louvered Models
1. If you have a louvered model, remove upper louver.
2. Place the top hood flange on top of the firebox, then install three
screws through the firebox top from below and screw into the
pilot holes in the hood flange (B).
3. Install one screw at each end of the hood as shown (C).
4. Re-install louver.
caution:
The hood must be installed prior to operation of appliance.

The firebox is designed to accept a 3/8-inch gas line for an approved
vent-free gas logset. Have the line installed by a qualified service
person in accordance with all building codes. Consult local building
codes to properly size the gas supply line leading to the 3/8-inch
hook-up at the unit. The state of Massachusetts requires that a
flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Gas access holes are provided on both sides of the firebox.
See
Figure 11
.
When installing optional ceramic fiber side panels into firebox,
lay panel on a flat surface. Remove the gas line knockout (round
depression) in the appropriate side panel using a drill or utility knife.
Check gas type. Use only the gas type indicated on the gas log
set rating plate. If the gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas
supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model.
Always use an external regulator for all LP fireboxes to reduce the
supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14 inch w.c. This is in addition
to the regulator fitted to the log set.
WARNING: CONNECTION DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED
L.P. TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION.
Install only a ANSI Z21.11.2 vent-free burner and log set into this
firebox.

Extended hoods
If your non-combustible facing material is over 1" in thickness that will be used to finish this firebox, an extended hood is available that will
extend out 2" farther out into the room. Contact your local dealer for details.
Finishing
All joints (top, bottom and sides), where the wall or decorative facing material meets the firebox surround should be sealed with a non-
combustible material.
Hearth extensions are recommended, but not required for these fireboxes.
