Recommended Installation Procedure - DaVinci Category 2 Owner's Manual

Recommended Installation Procedure

We strongly suggest framing around the fireplace after it is in place. Because this fireplace is
assembled on-site, you will need to make accommodations with the framing to allow for assembly. For
one-sided, see-through, bay, or side configurations,you may wish to leave one or both sides of the
framing open to allow for fireplace placement, assembly, and hookup. If framing the opening prior to
fireplace placement, you will also need to make the framing 6" (150mm) wider on each framed side (12" /
300mm wider for singled sided/see through configurations). This 6" gap allows for fireplace assembly
and will be covered with drywall (or other material) after the fireplace is assembled.
The header above the fireplace is best installed after the fireplace is in position, assembled, and the vent
attached. The fireplace must be lifted onto the alignment track, so additional space above the fireplace is
requried for lifting and placement.
Category 2 Order of Install

to accommodate the weight of the fireplace and venting. Verify the platform is level and plumb.
2. Install the alignment track (see page 24).
3. Prepare the modules for joining.
a) Place modules on alignment track (leave gap between fireplaces – see page 25).
b) Remove shipping end caps from fireplace modules (see page 25).
c) Remove components to allow for fireplace joining (see page 26).
4. Join the fireplace modules.
a) Slide modules together (see page 29).
b) Install upper titan lock braces (do not tighten at this time - see page 30).
