FIREBRICK WALLS
IMPORTANT: Installation of brick
should be done after the fire
-
place is placed in a permanent
location.
1. The firebox is shipped with the firebrick
wall retaining brackets preinstalled. There
are a total of six (6) brackets. Remove
these brackets before installing any of the
firebrick walls.
2. Place the hearth into the firebox. This
may require two people. The hearth is
wider than the fireplace opening and will
need to be tilted to get it inside the firebox.
The ash lip needs to be pulled all the way
forward toward the front of the firebox.
3. It is critical the hearth is center in the
fireplace before installing any of the other
firebrick walls. There are four slots on the
firebox floor. These slots (two on the left
and two on the right) will be visible when
the hearth is center. Cover the hearth with
a piece of cardboard for protection during
the rest of installation of the firebrick walls.

4. Install the left and right leading bricks.
Set the firebrick wall on the hearth with
the sheet metal side toward the firebox

face of the fireplace. Secure with screws
provided as shown in Figure 26.

Install incoming 1/2" gas line (as permitted
by local codes) through the gas line opening
on left or right side of the fireplace chassis
(Figure 25). The pipe should extend to around
the middle of the fireplace in order to be long
enough to connect to the flexible gas line
with shut off valve that is supplied with the
log/burner module. Prepare incoming gas
line with teflon tape or pipe joint compound.
5. Install the left and right firebrick walls.
There is a bracket with 2 tabs on the
bottom of each firebrick wall. Angle the
wall into the fireplace opening and into
the slots on the side of the hearth (Figure
27), then tilt the top of the panel toward
the firebox surround.
6. Secure the firebrick wall using 2 of the
retainers provided. The bracket will slip
underneath the metal lip on the top of the
wall and screw into the inner dome of the
fireplace (Figure 28, page 19).
