BUILT-IN FIREBOX INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this fi rebox  involves 
installing fi rebox into a framed-in enclosure. 
This makes the front of fi rebox fl ush with wall. 
Optional brass trim accessories are available 

(see Accessories, Page 22)

. The brass trim 

will extend past sides of fi rebox approximately 
1/2". This will cover the rough edges of the 
wall opening. If installing a mantel above the 
fi rebox, you must follow the clearances shown 
in 

Figure 7

. Follow the instructions below to 

install the fi rebox in this manner.
1.  Frame in rough opening. The fi rebox fram-

ing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber 
or heavier. Use dimensions in Table 1 
and rough opening layout in 

Figure 8a

Adjust framing so that firebox flushes 
with fi nished wall surface. If installing in 
a corner, use dimensions in 

Figures 8b, 

8c and 8d

 for rough opening.

2.  Install gas piping to fi rebox location. See 

Installing Gas Line,

 

Page 14 

and 

Con-

necting to Gas Supply 

in log set owner’s 

manual.

* These dimensions allow for min. Clearances 
to a 45° projected side wall. However, clear-
ances to projected mantel trims and facings are 
allowed within a min. Of 16" to a perpendicular 
wall as shown in 

Figure 6, On Page 11

.

NOTICE: If your installation does 
not meet the minimum clear-
ances shown, you must do one 
of the following:

• raise the mantel to an ac-

ceptable height

•  remove the mantel
