Self-tapping screws up to 1 in. (25 mm) long can be in-
stalled through the nailing tab and outer 1-3/4 in. (45 mm)
edges of the factory-installed non-combustible board to
secure the drywall adjacent to the factory-installed non-
combustible board. See Figure 13.3.
Do not drill or install screws which may penetrate the low-
er cover panel as this will restrict required access to the
glass, battery-back-up, and remote receiver. See Figure
13.3.
The appliance is designed to accept 1/2 in. (13 mm) wall
sheathing materials such as drywall, plywood, wood com-
posites, or non-combustible materials. The type of material
used depends whether the installation is an Inside or Over-
lap Fit Method. Refer to Section 13.C regarding installation
details associated with the Inside an Overlap Fit methods.
The left/right sides and bottom of the fireplace opening uti-
lize finishing flanges that will overlap the 3/8 in. (10 mm)
wall sheathing. The 3/8 in. (10 mm) thick wall sheathing
can be installed tight to the left, right, and bottom finish-
ing flanges such that the rough edges of the sheathing are
tucked behind the flanges when using the Overlap Method
of finishing.
Note: Finishing materials are designed to overlap the outer
edges of the finishing flanges up to the fireplace opening.
NOTE: It is acceptable to use a high temperature sili-
cone sealant to adhere drywall to lower cover panel.
Note: Refer to Section 13.C regarding installation details as-
sociated with the Inside and Overlap Fit methods.
CAUTION! Risk of Glass Damage and Cuts! DO NOT
drill or install any type of screw or fastener into the lower
cover panel. Sharp screw or fastener tips may penetrate
and break the glass or cause cuts.
The XLR-PLUS-AU must be finished using either the
Tonic or Martini decorative fronts. See Figures 13.12
and 13.13. The final fireplace installation can be accom-
plished by either the Overlap Fit or Inside Fit method. Ref-
erence Section 13.C regarding installation details associ-
ated with the Inside Fit and Overlap Fit methods.
It is acceptable to pre-drill holes and use self-tapped
screws in the factory-installed non-combustible board to
attach non-combustible backer board for tile, marble, etc.
Refer to Figure 13.3 for acceptable screw location and
screw length requirements.
