fireplace to the floor (see figure below). Bend
the nailing flanges down so that each flange is
flush with the floor, then using nails or screws,
secure the fireplace to the floor (2 places each
side). The heads of the screws or nails must
be large enough to completely cover the holes
in the nailing flanges.
