There are several different ways to support the fireplace top and one option is to use a Uni-strut installed over the
fireplace that is secured to structurally sound framing.
•
Install the threaded rod fully into the threaded fastener located on top of the fireplace.
•
Insert the threaded rod into a hole in the Uni-strut straight above the threaded fastener located on top the fireplace.
•
Use a fender washer and nut on the top end of the threaded rod to adjust the height of the fireplace opening. Make sure the opening dimension
is exact all the way around. Use Locktite to secure the nut from loosening (not shown).
•
If the top of the threaded rod is to be secured into blind threaded fastener or if there isn't clearance above to adjust the rod, you can use a turn
-
buckle to adjust the height.
•
Install an eyebolt fully into the threaded nut located on top of the fireplace.
•
Use a quick link to connect the eye bolt to the reverse thread side of the turnbuckle.
•
Thread the threaded rod into the normal side of the turnbuckle.
•
Use the locktight or jam nuts to secure the turnbuckle from loosening.
Recommend using loctite
or jam nuts at each end
of the turnbuckle. (not
