acing Over 1" Thick
¥
If the facing material
is over 1" thick (e.g.
brick, river rock),
install the facing
around the perimeter
of the face. You may
wish to make a
facing support (see
the illustration to the
right). If using an
arch face, you may
wish to order the
optional set-up face:
Arch Set-Up Face
Part # 98500697
Make a facing support using
2x4Õs. It should be 1/8Ó larger
than the finished face. NOTE:
The bottom of the face is 1-1/2Ó
above the base of the fireplace.
1-1/2Ó
Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1-1/2Ó gap betwen the
face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2Ó thick brick this works out to approximately 1-1/8Ó.
The brick facing must meet the same requirements
listed in ÒFacing RequirementsÓ above.
