Recommended Installation Procedure
1. Frame the opening for the fireplace. Make sure to allow for vent installation.
2. If the facing is 1/2" or 7/8" thick (most common), secure the fireplace to the framing with
the nailing brackets (see "Nailing Brackets" for details).
NOTE: If the facing is not 1/2" or 7/8" thick, follow the directions below:
Place a strip of facing material to both sides of the fireplace opening (NOTE: the strips will
be removed after the fireplace is secured). The facing thickness must represent the total
thickness of the finished facing (e.g.: If tile is to be used, include the thickness of the
backboard, tile, and tile adhesive). Insert the fireplace into the framing. Slide it back until
the front edge of the nailing brackets are flush with the facing material. Secure the
fireplace using the plates located along the base of the fireplace.
3. Complete the gas line installation.
4. Complete the electrical hook-up.
5. Complete the vent installation.
6. Install the hearth (if applicable).
7. Install the facing.
8. Install the mantel (if applicable).
