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 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.
Flush Wall Finish Detail
This alignment of firebrick application, as shown
below
(Figure 45)
, 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.
