Framing; Fireplace Shipping Brackets - Heat & Glo Foundation Series Installation And Operating Manual

NOTE: Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness and fireplace facing materials. When using a hearth,
adjust rough opening size as necessary to maintain at least minimum clearance requirements.
CAUTION: Install fireplace on metal, concrete or hard wood surface extending the full width and depth of fireplace.
CAUTION: Vent cap location must be in compliance with guidelines in Section 8 of this manual.
CAUTION: FIREPLACE IS NOT LOAD-BEARING.
If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare the necessary foundation for the masonry load. When masonry construction is being used, a lintel must be
used over top of fireplace to support the added weight. Build hearth to desired size and height. If a hearth extension is desired, combustible material
may be used.
