Finishing

A. Template
A cardboard template of the front is printed on the outside
of the shipping box. Cut out the template along the out-
side of the line for use in your installation. A metal tem-
plate (see catalog) is available for more durable contin-
ued use, remaining accurate over time. Both measure 1/8
in. (3 mm) larger all the way around than the actual front.
Note: This 1/8 in. of the non-combustible material must
be painted or the red will be visible.
Tools Required: 1/8 in. Allen wrench.
• Remove the doors on the fireplace (if installed).
• Remove the screws from the fascia and remove fascia
from the fireplace (if installed). Save the screws. Store
the fascia in a safe, protected area to prevent scratching
or other damage.
• Install the template on the front of the fireplace (Figure
7.1) using the screws saved in the previous step.
You are now ready to continue your installation with the
desired decorative material. The template also serves as
a protective covering and prevents damage to the front of
the fireplace.
NOTE:
The decorative fascia must be removable for future
serviceability of the automatic combustion control.

Note: DO NOT remove hang tags until installing finish

B Finish the Wall

Use a wet or dry towel or a soft brush to remove any dust
or dirt from the non-combustible facing material.

other non-combustible finishing materials per manufac-
turer's instructions.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply tar paper or water
resistive barrier over non-combustible board.
• Apply metal lath to the 1/2 in. thick non-combustible
board with corrosion resistant self-tapping screws
capable of penetrating the metal surface behind the
non-combustible board.
• HHT recommends using type N or type S mortar.
Due to high temperatures, review polymer modifiers
specification sheet before using.

2. Tile, Granite, Marble Finish

• Due to high temperatures, HHT recommends using
unmodified thinset when applying tile.
• When applying granite or marble, HHT recommends
using thinset to adhere. If using a different adhesive,
review specification sheet for application in high
temperature areas.
