3.3.1 Stand-off Assembly, Insulation Piece,
and Header Heat Shields Adjustment
The stand-off assembly, header heat shields, and insulation piece
are adjustable to accommodate the installation of non-combustible
material.
If you install the stand-off assembly in a forward position, the non-
combustible material will overlap the face of the fireplace. If you
install the stand-off assembly further back from the fireplace face, the
typical 1/2” (12mm) non-combustible material will be flush with the
fireplace face. See
below.
See the following page for installation instructions.
