The safety strips should extend in front and
sides of the fireplace opening 2" (51 mm) . In
the event a wooden support is used to elevate
the fireplace above the floor, a "Z" type safety
strip should be fabricated and used to protect
the front surface of the wood support as well
as the floor beneath the hearth extension ( see
Figures 8 and 9 ). The safety strips should be
tacked down to prevent possible movement.
Note: The "Z" type safety strip is not supplied.
