Finishing
caUTioN: all joints between the finished wall and
the fireplace sheet metal must be sealed with non-
combustible material before installing the steel face
plate. This prevents cold air leakage into the room.
(Fig. 8, 9)
NoTe: No material may cover the front face.
Finish wall
Finish the wall with a material of your choice.
Do not
install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12”
(305 mm) above the firebox grille opening. Do not
install a mantel face plate less than 6” (159 mm)
from top of grille opening. (Fig. 30)
If a combustible
material is used below a flat mantel shelf, consult your
local building codes for the required minimum clearance
from the top of the fireplace opening to the bottom of
the mantel shelf.
All joints (top, bottom and sides) where wall or deco-
rative facing material meets fireplace surround must
be completely sealed with a noncombustible material.
