BUILT-IN FIREBOX INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this firebox involves
installing firebox into a framed-in enclosure.
This makes the front of firebox flush with wall.
If installing a mantel above the firebox, you
must follow the clearances shown in
Figure
7, Page 11
. Follow these instructions to install
the firebox in this manner.
1. Frame in rough opening. The firebox
framing should be constructed of 2 x 4
lumber or heavier. Use dimensions and
rough opening layout in
Figure 8
. Adjust
framing so that firebox flushes with finished
wall surface. If installing in a corner, use
dimensions in
Figure 9
, for rough opening.
2. Install gas piping to firebox location. See
Gas Line Installation
on
Page 16
and
Con-
necting to Gas Supply
in log set owner’s
manual.
WARNING: Do not allow any
combustible materials to overlap
the firebox front facing
.
WARNING: Do not allow non-
combustible materials to cover
any necessary openings.
WARNING: Do not fill the
spaces around the firebox with
insulation or other materials.
WARNING: Do not alter, cut
or modify fireplace spacers.
WARNING: Framing may be
placed or rest against fireplace
spacer, however; framing must
never be notched.
3. Carefully set firebox in front of rough
opening with back of firebox inside wall
opening.
4. Carefully insert firebox into rough opening.
5. Attach firebox to wall studs using nails
or wood screws through holes in nailing
flange
(see
Figure 10
).
6. Install and properly test gas log heater.
Follow installation instructions included
with the vent-free gas log heater that is
being installed.
IMPORTANT
:
When finishing your firebox,
combustible materials such as wall board,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may be butted up next to the sides and top
of the firebox. Combustible materials should
never overlap the firebox front facing.
IMPORTANT
:
Noncombustible materials
such as brick, tile, etc. may overlap the front
facing, but should never cover any necessary
openings.
