INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For CORNER SURROUND AND HEARTH
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.
(Use for Models FBD28TC-O/C/CG)
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.
