OptiOnAL eMpt series MAnteL instALLAtiOn - peninsULA MODeLs OnLY
The Peninsula Direct Vent fireplaces include a 3-Piece Canopy
and End Shield. These additional parts must be installed on the
fireplace if the EMPT series Mantel top is to be used.
note:
The 3-piece canopy and End Shield is not required if the
fireplace is to be finished off using an installation method as shown
in Figure 4b.
Attention:
For installation of the EMPT Mantel base and/or Man-
tel top components, reference the assembly instructions included
with the mantel.
Attention:
The fireplace venting must start off horizontally when
using the EMPT mantel. Once through the wall, the vent system
may be run vertically or continue with a horizontal termination.
Reference the venting section for additional mantel information.
installing the 3-piece canopy and end shield
Prior to installing the Peninsula mantel, install the 3-piece canopy
and End Shield in conjunction with the (4) Mantel Corner Brackets
(included with the Mantel Top) as shown in Figure 5a. Refer to
the instructions included with the EMPT Mantel Top for additional
installation details.
1. Install (2) of the Mantel Corner Brackets at the vent end cor-
ners first. Loosely attach each bracket with one #10 x 1/2"
Hex Head screw through the rear flange and into the pilot hole
on top of the fireplace. See Figure 5.

2. Position the Rear Canopy with the mitered corner to the open
end of the fireplace. The canopy will slide under the flange of
the Rear Mantel Corner Bracket. Align the holes in the canopy
with the corner bracket and loosely install a #10 x 1/2" Hex
Head screw to retain.
3. Position the Front Canopy with the mitered corner to the
open end of the fireplace. The canopy will slide under the
Rear Mantel Corner Bracket. Align the holes in the Canopy
and Corner Bracket and loosely install a #10 x 1/2" Hex Head
screw to retain.
4. Place the other (2) Mantel Corner Brackets on top of the Front
and Rear Canopies near the open end of the fireplace and
loosely install a #10 x 1/2" screw through the corner bracket
and canopy, then into the pilot holes provided. Do not tighten
the screws.
5. Install the End Canopy by sliding it under the Open End Man-
tel Corner Bracket flanges and align mounting holes. Then,
place the End Shield above the End Canopy and Mantel Cor-
ner Brackets, align holes, then loosely secure all three parts
with #10 x 1/2" screws to the fireplace.
6. Adjust the canopies left to right as needed so that the mitered
corners meet, then tighten all previously installed screws to
secure end shield, canopies, and mantel corner brackets.
7. To finish canopy installation, install two (2) canopy corner tie
brackets at the underside of the canopy corners as illustrated
by Figure 5a. Use a Phillips screwdriver to install two (2) #8 x
1/2 black sheet metal screws to attach each corner bracket.
Before tightening screws, align the canopy mitered corners
together then secure.
