Facing 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 face
template (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 # 98500692
For rectangular faces,
use a piece of
plywood cut to the
dimensions shown on
page 12 (add 1/8" to
each dimension).

The brick facing must meet the same requirements
listed ÒFacing RequirementsÓ above.
Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1Ó gap betwen the
face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2Ó thick brick this works out to approximately 1-5/8Ó.
The fireplace requires a concrete board (or
other non-combustible) extending from the
header to the floor and to the framing
members on both sides. Do not use
sheetrock, plywood or other combustible.

Mounting
Holes
The face template should be 1/8Ó larger than the
finished face. Attach the template to the fireplace using
the face attachment screws. Then while building the
face, use the template to support the face material and
7/8Ó
ensure the facing does not overlap the face.
Note: The brick tucks
below the face template.
