Place the Fireplace in the Framing and Secure
NOTE: Nailing flanges, combustible members, and screw heads in areas directly adjacent to the nailing flanges are
EXEMPT from the 1/2” clearance to combustible requirements for the firebox outer wrapper.
NOTE: Combustible framing may be in direct contact with the nailing flanges and may be located within 1/2” of
screw heads and the firebox wrapper in areas adjacent to the nailing flanges.
Frame the opening to the exact dimensions specified in the framing details in this manual.
1. Bend out the appropriate nailing flanges for the drywall / finish material to be used (Figure 11). Nailing flanges
are provided for:
• flush framing,
• 1/2”, and
• 5/8” framing depths.
2. Secure the fireplace to the side framing members using the unit’s nailing flanges —one top and bottom on each
side of the fireplace front (Figure 11). Use 8d nails or the equivalent.
