certain that every installation operation is done cor-

rectly. Complete the installation steps in the sequence

shown.

LOCAL BUILDING CODES SHOULD BE CONSUL-

TED IN ALL CASES AS TO THE  PARTICULAR RE- 

OF FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES.

Select the location for the fireplace by taking into

consideration the factors previously outlined in the

Locating the Fireplace section of this manual.

Step 1: Framing the Firebox

The width of the framed openings must conform with

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

   

 

   

 

The entire fireplace can be elevated above the floor

 to achieve a raised hearth effect. This can be done

 by adding a small platform to achieve the desired

 

height.

Step 2: Install the Firebox

Install the firebox into the framed opening by 

setting it directly in front of the opening and 

sliding it into the proper position.

Step 3: Level the Firebox

Check the level of the firebox on the top edge of

the fireplace face. Shim if necessary.

Installation must conform with local

codes, or in the absence of local codes,

with the National Fuel Gas Code, 

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

QUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION 

Step 4: Secure the Firebox

 

 Nailing flanges are supplied with the fireplace

 to level the box and secure it  

firmly in place;

 Bend the nailing flanges from the sides and top

of the  fireplace as shown in Figure 7. 
Note: The nailing flanges have two (2) sets of

holes to allow for adjustment for

" or 5/8”

    offset

 

of the face of the unit. When installing the nailing

flanges, choose the set of holes on the nailing

flange that fit with your application.

Step 5: Gas Piping and Connection

The gas piping must be installed in accordance

with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,

in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest edition.
Piping should be tested for leaks prior to final wall

installation. Test for leaks, using a soap and water

solution or any acceptable solution or mechanical

gas leak detector, after completing the connection.

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME!
