BUILT-IN FIREBOX INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this rebox involves
installing rebox into a framed-in enclosure.
This makes the front of rebox ush with wall.
If installing a mantel above the rebox, you
must follow the clearances shown in Figure
7, page 11. Follow these instructions to install
the rebox in this manner.
1. Frame in rough opening. The rebox fram-
ing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber
or heavier. Use dimensions and rough
opening layout in Figure 8. Adjust framing
so that rebox ushes with nished wall
surface. If installing in a corner, use dimen-
sions in Figure 9, for rough opening.
2. Install gas piping to rebox location. See
Installing Gas Line on page 14 and Con-
necting to Gas Supply in log set owner’s
manual.
3. Carefully set firebox in front of rough
opening with back of rebox inside wall
opening.
4. Carefully insert rebox into rough opening.
5. Attach rebox to wall studs using nails
or wood screws through holes in nailing
ange (see Figure 10).
6. Install and properly test gas log heater.
Follow installation instructions included
with the vent-free gas log heater that is
being installed.
IMPORTANT: When nishing your rebox,
combustible materials such as wall board,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may be butted up next to the sides and top
of the rebox. Combustible materials should
never overlap the rebox front facing.
