CAUTION! Risk of Glass Damage and Cuts! DO NOT
drill or install any type of screw or fastener into the lower
cover panel. Sharp screw or fastener tips may penetrate
and break the glass or cause cuts.
The RAVE3012I must be fi nished using either the Illusion
or Deco decorative fronts. See Figures 13.15 and 13.16.
The fi nal fi replace installation can be accomplished by
either the Overlap Fit or Inside Fit method. Reference
Section 13.C regarding installation details associated
with the Inside Fit and Overlap Fit methods.
It is acceptable to pre-drill holes and use self-tapped
screws in the factory-installed non-combustible board to
attach non-combustible backer board for tile, marble, etc.
Refer to Figure 13.3 for acceptable screw location and
screw length requirements.
Self-tapping screws up to one inch long can be installed
through the nailing tab and outer 1-3/4 inch edges of the
factory-installed non-combustible board to secure the
drywall adjacent to the factory-installed non-combustible
board. See Figure 13.3.
Note: It is acceptable to use a silicone sealant with a
minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating to adhere
drywall to lower cover panel.
Note:
Refer to Section 13.C regarding installation details
associated with the Inside and Overlap Fit methods.
Do not drill or install screws which may penetrate the
lower cover panel as this will restrict required access
to the glass, battery-back-up, and remote receiver. See
Figure 13.3.
The appliance is designed to accept 1/2 in. wall sheathing
materials such as drywall, plywood, wood composites, or
non-combustible materials. The type of material used
depends whether the installation is an Inside or Overlap
Fit Method. Refer to Section 13.C regarding installation
details associated with the Inside an Overlap Fit methods.
The factory-supplied non-combustible board must be
used in all installations. It must be directly attached to
structural framing adjacent to the appliance. Screw fas-
teners should be installed in the pilot holes provided in
the outer perimeter of the non-combustible board. See
Figure 13.3.
The factory-supplied board is designed such that its edg-
es will be at the approximate center of the adjacent fram-
ing, assuming it is 1-1/2 in. nominal thickness. This will
allow the wallboard joints to occur on the center of the
framing where the panels can be fastened properly. If the
framing thickness is less than 1-1/2 in. nominal, such as
with formed steel systems, then it may be necessary to
adjust the adjacent framing dimensions so that the non-
combustible board and wallboard joints are centered on
the framing.
