4.2 #CW40-SCK Optional Skim Coat Kit
If you plan to apply a skim coat finish across combustible and non-
combustible materials, using 1/2" thick material, you will need to use
the #CW50-SCK Optional Skim Coat Kit so that the non-combustible
material is flush with the finishing flange (edge) of the fireplace.
This kit includes:
(16) self-tapping screws; (2) side panels; (2) top & bottom panels
1. Ensure the hand bend tabs are bent at a 90° angle for required
clearances. This is required to provide 1/4” of the spacing
required for a flush mount installation.
2. Install panels. Align the panels with the corners of the finishing
flange.
3. Do not use screws above the framing for the gas and electrical
components when installing the bottom panel. See Section
Figure 4.4, Minimum Non-Combustible Finishing Dimensions on
page 20 for maintaining required areas.
