NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
Attach the 4 nailing tabs supplied to the sides of the outer shell as illustrated using
the 8 self-tapping screws included in the manual baggie.
FIGURE 20
The
has been designed to be installed mid-way up a wall. When installing this unit close to the
fi
nished
fl
oor, the
unit must be raised a minimum of 2” (unobstructed) to allow for full rotation of the control door. It is not necessary to install
a hearth extension.
Although the unit
fi
ts between studs, most jurisdictions will not allow a “hole” in the warm air envelope of a residential structure.
It is recommended to build either an interior or exterior chase with a minimum depth of 7”.
It is best to frame your
fi
replace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Frame to local building codes.
To install the
fi
replace face
fl
ush with the
fi
nished surface, position the framework to accommodate the thickness of the
fi
nished surface. Use 4
fl
at-head screws to secure the nailing tabs to the framing. Cover the nailing tabs with your
fi
nishing
material.
NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the
fi
replace
body, it is recommended that the walls of the
fi
replace enclosure be “
fi
nished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would
fi
nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the
cavity.
