Built-In Fireplace Installation
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing the fireplace
into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of the fireplace
flush with a wall or the front of the fireplace window flush with a wall.
A framed-in enclosure is an enclosure that does not allow
drafts through the firebox. These drafts could cause the
flame to roll back producing soot or a poor flame pattern.
Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown in
Figure 32
for a conventional rough opening. Use
Figure 33
for an elevated
installation. Be sure to provide support to the bottom of the
fireplace. Use dimensions shown in
Figure 35
for corner rough
opening. Be sure to provide gas line for fireplace and electrical
power for optional light assembly. Refer to Junction Box Wiring
section on pages 17 and 18 for details on electrical requirements.
1. Verify gas and electrical lines are ready for fireplace
installation. See "Gas Supply" page 19. See "Junction Box"
pages 17 and 18. If no electrical power is to be used, place
a solid cover (provided) over the junction box opening. See
Junction Box Wiring section in this manual.
2. Insert fireplace into enclosure.
3. Level firebox.
4. Secure three middle mounting brackets with drywall screws
to the framed opening above the fireplace as shown in
Figures 27 to 35.
The brackets should be installed to
support the ends of the non-combustible board. Note:
The drywall screws are located in the instruction envelope
packet. Secure the left and right framing standoffs to the side
framing as shown in figure 24. Secure fireplace on left and
right through side framing brackets.
5a.
Option 1:
To install the fireplace cabinet face flush with the
wall-board, secure the framing brackets at the top and sides
of the fireplace with a 1/2" setback. This allows you to use
the supplied non-combustible board above the fireplace.
NOTE:
This type of installation will allow you to apply tile,
marble, stone or other non-combustible material over the
face of the fireplace cabinet, up to the flange opening.
See Figures 25a and 26a.
5b.
Option 2:
To install the fireplace so that non-combustible board
is installed over the fireplace cabinet face (down to the opening
window), secure the top and side framing brackets flush with
the face of the fireplace cabinet. Non-combustible board has
been provided with the unit.
See Figures 25b and 26b.
NOTE:
If using the 4" surround DF384BL or DF484BL,
non-combustible Board will need to be raised 2 7/8" above the
opening and 2 3/8" below the opening.
See Figure 25c.
NOTE:
Decorative fronts do not cover the entire face of the
fireplace. The installer must finish the wall all the way to the
fireplace top and bottom opening as shown in Figure 25a on
page 20.
NOTE:
Allow recommended cure times for mud, tile, paint etc.
Do not burn fireplace during this cure time.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Notice for Finishing Materials
The wall above the fireplace will become hot. Install the
non-combustible board supplied with the fireplace before
adding paint, tile or stone. Attach tile or other non-combustible
products to the fireplace face and to the non-combustible
area (Figures 29 and 30) using adhesives designed for
high-temperature applications. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for application and curing times. Heat from the
fireplace may cause incorrectly installed materials to fail. If you
are painting above the fireplace, use a coating designed for
high temperature environments and follow the manufacturer's
instructions for surface preparation, application and curing.
Heat from the fireplace may cause incorrectly applied coatings
to fail or discolor.
