To install the fireplace face
flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to
accommodate the thick-
ness of the finished wall.
Bend out the four nailing
tabs, attached on either side
of the fireplace and secure
to the 2x4 framing. The tabs
will facilitate the installation
of either a

tabs must not be removed.
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear-
ance needed.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use
2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 5-7.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula-
tion or vapour barrier coming in contact with the
fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the
fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock),
as you would finish any other outside wall of a home.
This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is
maintained within the cavity.

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face-
areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick,
stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door
and the installation of many decorative flashing accesso-
ries.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 4 feet away from the front face.
