MOSAIC MASONRY BRICK INSTALLATION

NOTE:

 A Mosaic Masonry panel kit is required for use with your 

VRE6036, VRE6042, or VRE6050 Firebox. (Not supplied, see page 

18 for models available). 

IMPORTANT: Installation of brick panels should be 

done after the fireplace is placed in a permanent 

location.

Note:

 Remove grate, screen assemblies and all hardware components 

out of the box prior to installation.

INSTALLATION

1.  Install bottom brick panel. Using at least two people, hold bot-

tom brick panel by its side edges. Place the back edge of bottom 

panel into the firebox first and carefully lower the front edge of 

panel. Make sure bottom panel is centered in the firebox and 

flush with the front of the fireplace. Be careful not to pinch your 

fingers between the panel and firebox (Figure 13).

2.  Install the left and right side leading bricks (Figure 13).

 WARNING

3.  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 (Fig-

ure 14), then tilt the top of the panel toward the firebox surround.

4.  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).

5.  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 2 rear retaining 

brackets provided (Figure 15).

6.  It is recommended that the joints between all firebrick walls 

be grouted for a more finished look, see grouting instruc-

tions. For more information and to watch a how to video go
