1.
Starting approximately 1/2” from the rear of the firebox,
lay one course of “full” sized firebrick. Ensure a gap of
approximately 1/2” is kept between firebrick and sidewall to
allow for expansion.
2.
Two courses of “full” sized firebrick shall start at the leading
edge of the baseplate. Ensure a gap of approximately 1/2” is
kept between firebrick and sidewall to allow for expansion.
3.
Apply “split” firebrick to the rear wall of the unit. Ensure
approximately 1/2” gap is kept between firebrick and sidewall,
as well as an 1/4” gap is kept between firebrick and damper
beam assembly to allow for expansion.
4.
Starting from the front edge of the unit’s sidewall,
apply “split” firebrick to the side wall of the unit. Ensure
approximately 1/4” gap is kept between firebrick and damper
beam assembly to allow for expansion.
IMPORTANT
Ensure holes for 1 - 2“ gas supply to burner and pilot assembly
gas and electrical connections are drilled prior to firebrick
installation.
Do not cover these areas with firebrick.
NOTE: Gas and electrical connections may be brought
through the rear wall of the unit and into the area of the
firebrick cavity. A gap will need to be left in the firebrick
extending from the cavity to the rear wall of the unit for
passage of the 3/8” gas line, pilot tube, and electrical
connections. Ensure all holes are filled with mortar after
installation.
