FIREPLACE FRAMING

Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance
is set in place. Refer to Figure 2 for firebox dimensions
and framing. Construct firebox framing following Figure
2 for your specific installation requirements. The framing
headers may rest on the top of the firebox standoffs.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor
or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When
the firebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the enclosure.
