FIREBOX FRAMING
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance
is set in place. Construct fi rebox framing following Figure
2 for your specifi c installation requirements. The framing
headers may rest on the top of the fi rebox standoffs. Do
not bring headers below top of standoffs. NOTE: When
planning your framing and installation, keep in mind that
your gas line will come in on the right side of the box (as
you are facing it) and your electricity will come in on the
left side.
The fi rebox may be installed directly on a combustible fl oor
or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When
the fi rebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material, other than wood fl ooring, the fi rebox
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the enclosure.
