GAS LINE PLUMBING
The face of your fireplace may be left exposed or trimmed with any noncombustible material such as brick,
stone or marble. See Figure 29. If a noncombustible trim is installed, be sure it is fastened snugly to the face
of the fireplace. A crack between the material and the face of the fireplace could pose a fire hazard and impair
the proper operation of the fireplace. Blocking the fireplace with framing and attaching the base to the supporting
floor will reduce the possibility of such a crack developing.
CAUTION: Do not allow any trim materials to extend closer than 3/8-inch to the vertical edges of the
firebox opening if you plan to equip the fireplace with glass doors.
Wall ties should be fastened to the face of the fireplace with sheet metal screws and placed in the mortar joints
of masonry trim.
Combustible material must not be installed below the top spacers of the fireplace or overlap the sides
of the fireplace face. See Figures 30 and 31. Seal the face of the fireplace to the surrounding wall with non-
combustible caulk or trim materials to prevent cold air leakage around the fireplace.
Combustible mantels and combustible trim must be installed in accordance with National Fire Protection
Association Standard NFPA 211. See Figures 30 and 31 for recommendations by fireplace manufacturer.
CAUTION: No trim should block or restrict in any way the flow of air into the air inlets in the face of the
fireplace.
