INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For CORNER SURROUND AND HEARTH
26
READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION. Check to see that you have
the following. If any part or parts are missing, contact the dealer where you bought the surround
and hearth.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Measuring Tape, Pencil, Level, #2 Phillips Screw Driver, Hammer, Electric Drill, 5/6" Drill Bit,
Hand or Electric Saw
INSTALLATION:
1. Surround must be installed flush with wall.
Baseboards will prevent proper installation of
surround. Baseboards can be altered to fit surround
by cutting that part within 34 1/2
”
distance from the
wall corner.
2. Surround must be attached to either a wall stud or
wall anchor. Use a tape measure to determine
correct height from floor to location of mounting
strips. (See Figure 1). Make sure point of the
mitered edge of mounting strip touches the corner.
Use a level to ensure mounting strips are evenly
balanced.
IMPORTANT: Failure to balance
mounting strips with a level could result
in uneven surfaces on fully assembled
surround.
3. Fasten mounting strip to wall by inserting 2" screws
provided along the predrilled holes of mounting
strip. If predrilled holes of mounting strip do not line
up with wall studs, drill new holes where wall studs
are or attach to wall with wall anchors. (See Step 4
below.)
4. To use wall anchors, drill holes at marked location
using 5/16
”
drill bit. Fold wall anchor (see Figure 2)
and insert (wings first) into hole. Tap anchor flush
into wall. For thin walls, insert red key into wall
anchor and push to
“
pop
”
open anchor wings (see
Figure 3).
5. Repeat steps above to attach other mounting strips
to wall. Make sure mitered edges fit together to
form a clean joint in the corner of the wall.
