NAILING
TAB
1) Attach the nailing tabs to the corner
posts using the 2 sheet metal screws
supplied. Secure through the centre of
the top and bottom slots in the nailing
tab and then through the existing holes
in the corner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow
these instructions:
Position the nailing tab so that the front
face is offset with the front edge of the
corner post (approx. ½"). Centre the
nailing tab vertically on the corner post.
Figure 35 a.
Drill through the centre of the top and
bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure
using the two sheet metal screws sup-
plied. This allows the nailing tab to slide back
and forth for desired framing. Figure 35b.
2) To determine the final location of the nailing tab you
must first determine the thickness of your finishing mate-
rial (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from
the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once
the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the
centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal
screw*. Figure 35c.
* Additional set screws may be installed.
FIGURE 36
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. FIGURE 36. Use the graph to help evaluate
the clearance needed. Curtains, above the fireplace, must
not be positioned lower than the 5" distance required for
the 2" combustible mantle. These same requirements
apply to any combustibles protruding on either side of
the fireplace.
