for the fireplace does not have wall studs that correspond to location of the fireplace mounts,
modifications to the wall structure will be needed. It is critical that the four lag bolts that are
provided for mounting the fireplace are firmly imbedded into the wall structure at all four
locations.
2.
All required minimum clearances to adjacent combustible materials (including side walls,
ceiling and floor) must be achieved with the location you have chosen. See the clearance
information on page 10. The listed clearances are measured from the outermost front edges of
the fireplace surround and not from the fireplace body or mounting plate. Again, plan the
installation in advance to avoid problems.
3.
The gas supply line must be located within a specific area behind the fireplace. Use the
provided wall template as a guide when locating the gas supply line pass-through.
Once you are certain that the location you have chosen meets all the necessary mounting and safety
requirements, you can begin the
installation.
1. Tape or pin the installation template
to the wall in the position where the
fireplace is to be mounted. Note: It
is important that the fire-place is
mounted in a level position. Use a
spirit level placed on the cross-hairs
in the upper mounting holes on the
template and adjust the template
position until the mounting holes are
level. Refer to the adjacent
illustration.
2. Next, carefully transfer the location
of the two upper and two lower
mounting holes that you will use for
your installation. Use a sharp nail,
awl or pin to pierce the template on the mounting hole cross-hairs to insure an accurate
transfer to your wall.
3. Finally, transfer the location of the gas supply line.
4. Remove the template and circle the transferred locations with a pencil or marker.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
The supply line should exit the wall that the fireplace will be installed on at the location specified on
the installation template we suggest the installation of a shut-off valve in the supply line between the
wall and the connection to the fireplace. Your professional gas installer or local gas company will
determine the specific requirements for the gas supply line as the requirements may vary in different
