3.2 Top Stand-off Brackets, Heat Shield,
and Insulation Adjustment
The top stand-off brackets, heat shield, and insulation piece provide
the 3-1/2” (89mm) minimum clearance to header and must be installed.
The top stand-off brackets, heat shield, and insulation piece are
shipped in the forward position to accommodate non-combustible
facing material that would overlap the face of the fireplace.
You may adjust these components back from the fireplace face to
allow the fireplace front to be flush with typical 1/2” (12mm) non-
combustible facing material. Follow instructions below.
1. Locate the (2) screws on each side securing the top stand-
off brackets to the heat shield, as shown below. Remove and
save screws.
2. Locate the (3) screws on the flange of the top heat shield, as
shown below. Remove and save screws.
3. Align the heat shield with the holes on the top of the fireplace
farther back from the front of the fireplace. Secure with screws
previously removed.
4. Align the holes in the stand-off brackets with the holes farther
back on heat shield. Secure with screws previously removed.
5. Insulation must be pushed tight against non-combustible facing
material.
