FIREBRICK WALL INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Installation of brick 

should  be  done  after  the  fire-

place is placed in a permanent 

location.

1.  The fireplace is shipped with the hearth 

preinstalled. It is held in place for ship-

ping with 3 shipping brackets (Figure 13). 

Remove these brackets before installing 

any of the other firebrick walls.

2.  Install  the  left  and  right  firebrick  walls. 

There  is  a  bracket  with  2  tabs  on  the 

bottom of each firebrick wall. Angle the 

wall  into  the  fireplace  opening  and  into 

the slots on the side of the hearth (Figure 

14), then tilt the top of the panel toward 

the firebox surround.

3.  Secure  the  firebrick  wall  using  2  of  the 

retainers provided. The bracket will slip 

underneath the metal lip on the top of the 

wall and screw into the inner dome of the 

fireplace (Figure 15). 

4.  Install  the  rear  firebrick  wall  last.  Place 

the wall face side down on the hearth with 

the bottom of the wall toward the rear of 

the firebox and the top toward the front of 

the fireplace. Tilt the wall up toward the 

back of the firebox. Secure with remaining 

retaining brackets provided (Figure 15).

5.  It is recommended that the joints between 

all firebrick walls be grouted for a more 

finished  look,  see  page  15  for  grouting 

instructions.
