• Non-Combustible Sealant Material
After completing the framing and applying the facing mate-
rial (drywall) over the framing, a bead of non-combustible
sealant must be used to close off any gaps at the top and
sides between the replace and facing to prevent cold air
leaks. Large gaps can be bridged with berglass rope gas-
ket.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the
metal replace front.
• Cardboard OR Metal Template
A cardboard template of the front is printed on the outside of
the shipping box. It measures 1/8 in. (3 mm) bigger all the
way around than the actual front. Cut out the template
along the outside of the line for use in your installation.
A metal template is also available for more durable
continued
use remaining accurate over time. See page 64 for catalog
number.
