SECURING THE FIREPLACE TO THE
FLOOR OR FRAMING
The fireplace must be secured to the floor and/or to framing
studs as shown in
Figure 5.
Use two (2) wood screws or
masonry/ concrete screws to secure fireplace to the floor.
Use four (4) screws to attach fireplace to framing. The side
nailing flanges are 1/2" or 5/8" to accommodate different
wall thickness.
SECURING THE FIREPLACE
FINISHING MATERIAL
NOTE:
Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch,
and optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to
avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel,
or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may be
used to cover the black painted face of the appliance. It is
permissible to bring combustible wall board to the top and
side edges of the black painted face. A 300°F minimum
adhesive may be used to attach facing materials to the
black surface. If joints between the finished wall and the
fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant
material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent) must
be used.
