FRAMING AND FINISHING
Figure 2 shows typical framing of this fireplace. Figure 3 shows
framing for see-thru installation. All minimum clearances must be
met. Steel framing may be necessary or wood studs may be notched.
Concrete board is provided for facing around the fireplace as shown

If you are using a separate combustible mantel piece, refer to Figure 5
for proper installation height. You can install noncombustible mantels
at any height above the fireplace.
