A. Framing and Finishing Instructions
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear-
ances to combustibles as specifi ed. Framing closer than the
minimums listed must be constructed entirely of noncom-
bustible materials (i.e., steel studs, concrete board, etc.)
Finishing Instructions
It is important to follow the framing and fi nishing instruc-
tions to ensure proper placement of fi replace into the sur-
rounding framing/fi nishing materials.
Wall sheathing materials 1/2 in. thick are specifi ed in
this installation manual to properly align with the factory-
installed non combustible material.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT remove the factory-
installed non-combustible board or cover it with combus-
tible material, such as:
• Drywall (gypsum board)
• Plywood
• Materials that do not meet the ASTM E 136 Non-com-
bustibility standard (below).
Removal of factory-installed, non-combustible board and/
or use of materials not meeting the ASTM E 136 standard
may cause fi re.
Non-Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete,
slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC and UL763 shall be
considered non-combustible materials.
Setting the Fireplace into the Framing
Unlike many traditional, single-sided Heat & Glo fi replaces,
this fi replace is recessed into surround framing. The left
and right nailing tabs were designed for the SLR-B model
as a means to ensure the fi replace is recessed to the
correct location within the framing materials.
1. Bend two nailing tabs away from fi replace 180 degrees
on both left and right nailing tabs. Do not adjust the
column standoffs. See Figure 13.1.
2. Screw each nailing tab to the adjoining framing mate-
rial. Ensure that the 1” air space clearance is main-
tained on the sides of the fi replace. See Figure 13.2.
