PLANING
FIREPLACE FRAMING
AND COVERING FACE
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. Construct firebox framing following
Figure 2
and the
chart below for your specific installation requirements.
See Figure 3 on Page 8
for firebox dimensions. The framing headers may
rest on the top of the firebox standoff.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When the firebox
is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the enclosure.
Figure 2 - Framing Dimensions
WARNING
IMPORTANT:
The following must be taken into consideration if
you decide to cover over the fireplace face:
1. The covering material must be non combustible, maximum 3/4" thick.
2. Minimum outside dimensions of the material over the facing are
60" x 34-1/2" (
see Figure 2
).
3. The inner opening in covering material must be minimum 49-1/4" wide, 14-1/4" tall and centered over the fireplace opening to
allow for or glass door removal. A 1/4" reveal must be provided all the way around the fireplace opening.
4. The cover should maintain an air gap of at least 1/8" between covering material and fireplace to allow for metal fireplace front
to expand and contract during operation.
5.
