INSERT OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Continued)
4. Bay Kit
The bay kit for your insert is sold separately and offers an attractive facade for your installation. It is very
important that your installation is adequately suited for the bay kit before deciding on that type of
installation. For direct or positive connections the bay kit does not require insulation for an airtight seal.
For face seal connections the bay kit must overlap the fireplace at least 2" on the top and sides and
requires insulation to insure an airtight seal (See "Surround Panel Insulation Installation").
BAY KIT DIMENSIONS:
42 3/4" Wide
29 1/2" Height
NOTE: For a Face Seal Connection it is recommended that you have at least 2" of
overlap. On brick or stone facing an overlap of 2 1/2" may be necessary for an airtight
seal due to the rough surface.
It is very important that the bay kit overlaps the fireplace opening by 1/4" or more. This will insure a good
seal and provide a more attractive facade. The bay kit must overlap the fireplace opening in both width
and
height. The bay kit may overlap the fireplace opening by more than the 1/4" recommendation if it is
to allow for a complete seal. Any questions on the use of the bay kit should be directed towards your
dealer. To install the bay kit, first refer to the type of installation you are using (e.g. Face Seal Connection,
Direct Connection, etc...).
Follow the directions listed for the type of installation you are doing, and follow the directions below when
the surround panels are referred to in that section. The insert should be placed one foot away from the
hearth to install the bay kit. After the bay kit has been installed, the insert can be placed into position.
1.
Remove the three button plugs from each side of the insert.
2.
The side bays attach with three screws and nuts. First, insert the flange on the inward side of one of
the side bays inside the panel on the side of the insert. Next, feed three of the screws included with
the bay kit through the bay kit and through the holes exposed in step one so the head of the screw is
facing inward (see the illustration below). Place three nuts over these screws and tighten just enough
to pull the side bay against the insert.
Attach
each side
bay to the
insert with
three of the
included
screws and
nuts.
Line up each side bay
and place it so the
inward flange goes
inside the panel on the
side of the insert.
