Nailing Tab Installation - Napoleon GD33NR Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

GD34 ONLY: Finishing must be done using a non-com-
bustible material placed flush with the front face of the unit
and extending from the top of the unit. (Example: cement
board) (not supplied).
FIGURE 43
WARNING: Use only non-combustible material such as
cement board, ceramic tile, marble, etc. when finishing
to the fireplace. DO NOT USE WOOD
FRAMING CONTINUED
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes. In the case of the GD34, the header must
be a steel stud.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the
fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the
fireplace enclosure be "finished" (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as
you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will
ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within
the cavity.
To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to accomodate the thickness of the
finished wall.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.
BGD33 NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
1) Attach the nailing tabs to the corner
posts using the 2 sheet metal screws
supplied. Secure through the centre
of the top and bottom slots in the nail-
ing tab and then through the existing
holes in the corner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow
these instructions:
Position the nailing tab so that the
front face is offset with the front edge
of the corner post (approx. ½"). Cen-
tre the nailing tab vertically on the cor-
ner post.
Figure 45a.
Drill through the centre of the top and
bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure
using the two sheet metal screws
supplied. This allows the nailing tab
to slide back and forth for desired
framing. Figure 45b.
2) To determine the final location of the nailing tab you
must first determine the thickness of your finishing mate-
rial (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from
the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once
the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the
centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal
screw*. Figure 45c.
