BRICK INSTALLATION
Each brick housing is stamped with a number
(full size bricks are not stamped). These num
-
bers will help identify the brick when installing.
It is important to install these bricks exactly as
instructed. Press brick firmly into brick housing
until it snaps. Groove line on side of brick will
come in contact with flange on the brick hous
-
ing. This secures brick into housing (see Figure
24). Smaller bricks may require a small portion
of furnace cement applied to back of brick to
secure it until grouting has been completed.
Bricks are packaged in separate boxes. The
brick matrixes on pages 15 through 27 show
how bricks are packaged and placed for each
size fireplace and the number of bricks per
box. There are 2 extra full bricks included in
Hearth Brick package.
Install bricks one section at a time starting with
hearth panel followed by the rear panel, left
panel and right panel. It is important to install
the bricks in sequence. Please note, full size
bricks are NOT stamped.
