Attach the Assembled Frame and fireplace to the combustible framing.
Bend out the tabs 90 degrees before inserting the unit into its framed housing “Bend tab out 90 degrees” (Figure 18).
Attach the assembled framing kit to the Fireplace.
Secure the frame assembly to the wood frame through the tabs (Figure 19).
Install Non-Combustible Board
Use drywall screws, #8, to install the non-combustible board.
Fixed Lintel
The lintel on the TCWS38D2 is in a fixed
position on the fireplace and there is no
adjustment to move the lintel toward you
or away from you once the fireplace has
been located in its final position. Instead,
the fireplace itself must be maneuvered
so that the front face of the lintel deter-
mines the final position of the fireplace.
The Framing Kit allows for a 2 1/4 inch
adjustment along the Framing Brackets.
Use this range to help determine the
front of the facing material.
The thickness of the facing material,
whether 1/2 inch calcium silicate board
or a rock facing must be taken into con-
sideration before settling on a final posi-
tion of the fireplace. “Fireplace Facing
Allowance” on page 14.
