BUILT-IN FIREBOx INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this firebox involves install-
ing firebox into a framed-in enclosure. This makes
the front of firebox flush with wall. Optional brass
trim accessories are available (see Accessories,
page 20). The brass trim will extend past sides
of firebox approximately 1/2". This will cover
the rough edges of the wall opening. If installing
a mantel above the firebox, you must follow the
clearances shown in Figure 6, page 10. Follow
the instructions below to install the firebox in
this manner.
