MAGNUM Series Fireplace

When drywall is the wall finish at the MAGNUM face and flush with the rough face of the MAGNUM firebox and damper
beam, it is recommended when installing the required firebrick lining to the interior of the firebox, that the leading edge
of the firebrick – at the floor and at the side walls of the firebox – be set flush with the MAGNUM’s rough firebox front.
This will aid in the overall fit and finish of the MAGNUM Series fireplace front when the code required non-combustible
finished facings are applied.
This alignment of firebrick application, as shown below
(Figure 67)
, allows the firebrick lining to be in the same plane
with the room’s wall finish surface. With the firebrick set in this fashion the non-combustible finish facing material can
be set tight against the leading edge (or “room edge”) of the firebrick at the sides of the fireplace opening. At the same
time, the finished facing material can lay flat against the room’s finished wall surface.
