INSTALLATION
Check local codes concerning restrictions and installation
requirements in your area.
Warning:
Remove the left and centre doors and cover
right side door before installation and place them in a safe
area to reduce the possibility of :
a) vandalism;
b) sub-trade tool abrasion, chipping, or breaking of
glass;
c) gold finish damage because of muriatic acid, plaster,
cement, paint and harmful sprays or liquids, and
sub-trade tool abrasion.
MOVING THE DELTA
Due to the weight of the Delta we recommend you use a
furniture dolly and place the Delta as shown in the diagram
below. The Delta weighs 620 lbs. complete and 450 lbs.
stripped. The Delta should be stripped before moving it if
possible. Elevate the fireplace and dolly to a 45° angle to
move.
NOTE: If using an Eskelera a 2 x 4 will have to be placed
between the two forks before using.
STANDOFF INSTALLATION
Before installing your Delta, the side nailing strips need to
be assembled as follows:
1. Remove the nailing strips from the top of the unit.
2. Remove the four (4) metal screws on each side of the
Delta facing.
3. Attach the nailing strip to the side of the Delta using the
metal screws that you removed in Step 2 (Figure 4).
NOTE: When using the optional 45° nailing strip be sure to
line up the 45° nailing strip with the 45° angle on the top
framing guide to ensure facing will be flush.
LOCATION
Your Delta fireplace may be installed in many different
ways (see Figure 5) without any special floor reinforce-
ment.
