Secure Fireplace To Floor Or Framing; Finishing Material - Vermont Castings 300DVB(N/P)(V/SC)7SB Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

SECURE FIREPLACE TO FLOOR or FRAMING

The fireplace must be secured to the floor and/or to framing
studs as shown in Figure 6. Use two (2) wood screws or
masonry/ concrete screws to secure fireplace to the floor.
Use four (4) screws to attach fireplace to framing. The side
nailing flanges are 1/2" or 5/8" to accommodate different
wall thickness.

FINISHING MATERIAL

NOTE: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch,
and optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to
avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel,
or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may be
used to cover the black surface of the appliance. A 300°F
minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials
to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall
and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent)
must be used.
