C. Installation Instructions for Outdoor Side
1. Hand bend the installation brackets along the perforated
bend line and attach with 2 screws each. The installation
brackets are adjustable to accommodate various finishing
methods.
2. Position the fireplace in the final installation location and
secure the installation brackets to the wall framing. Install
electrical supply, gas supply and venting according to the
supplied instructions.
3. The exterior side of the unit does not require the use of
non-combustible material. Sheathing can be brought
down directly to the top of the metal flashing and flush
in with the sides of the outer face.
4. For placement of combustible housewrap or building paper
see Figures 4.5 , 4.6 and 4.6 ( N o t e : C o m b u s t i b l e
housewrap or building paper MAY extend over the edge
of the metal flashing by 3" from the top of the flashing.
The sealant materials used beyond 3" from the top of
the flashing must be approved to a minimum of 225° F
continuous exposure.)
Special care should be taken when choosing building
materials for weatherproofing (i.e. building wraps, sealant
tapes, liquid sealants, rubberized flashings, etc.). All
sealant materials or building wraps installed within 3" of
the top of the fireplace flashing must be approved to a
minimum temperature of 225°F continuous exposure.
Consult the material's manufacturer to ensure product
compliance.

completely is permitted as long as it does not interfere
with removal of the door cover and lip.)
6. Apply high temp weather resistant adhesive sealant
along the edge of the finishing material and the face of
the unit to ensure the fireplace has a watertight seal to
the finishing material. See Figure 4.7.
