Recessed Fire-Lite:
If the design preference is for a flush hearth Fire-Lite application (floor of the fireplace at the same
level the room’s floor), with advanced planning, the metal stand can be lowered, set and attached to the joist system
(Figure 10)
.
NOTE:
For seismic anchorage design and instructions of the flush hearth application, please contact the Technical
Department at 1-800-642-2920.
When calculating flush hearth height, be sure to allow for the four- or eight-inch (4” or 8”) metal stand, three-inch (3”)
thick base plate plus the one and one half-inch (1½”) thick fire brick floor.
Whether a flush hearth is preferred or a raised hearth, the combustible floor in front of the fireplace must be cov-
ered with a non-combustible hearth extension set tight against the fireplace front and extending at least 20" out from
the finished fireplace and at least 12" beyond the finished sides of the fireplace opening.
(Figure 11)
For all “Fire-Lite” construction, it is necessary to use the base plate and the metal Fire-Lite stand. Be sure to
secure the Fire-Lite metal stand to the floor framing system.
NOTE:
Field verified dimensions should make allowance for hearth extensions in front (20”) and sides (12” ea.) from
the fireplace opeining. Also, make sure fireplace sides and rear have 1½” clearance to combustibles.
