F. Adjustable Hearth Support
Size: 9"d x 45"w, 2" to 10" Height Adjustment
Included in Kit: (1) trim top, (1) trim front, (2) trim sides,
double-sided tape (already installed)
Tools Needed: Phillips head screwdriver, sheet metal
shears, measuring tape, gloves
1. The 10 screws on each set of scissors will already be
loose when shipped (Figure 21.1).
2. Expand scissors to desired height. Tighten screws to
hold in place using Phillips head screwdriver (Figure
21.2).
3. Measure front and side trims to required height to
cover scissors and mark pieces for cutting. Cut excess
material from top of trims edge, not bottom. This edge
will be sharp; wear gloves to prevent injury to your
hands (Figure 21.3).
4. Using sheet metal shears, cut trim along the marked
edge. The cut edge fits under lip of top trim, so it
allows for some variance in your straight edge.
5. The double-sided tape that holds front and side
trims to scissors has a powerful bonding adhesive.
Adjustments are extremely difficult once trim has
adhered to tape. Do a dry run first without removing
paper from tape.
6. Place cut edge of trim under top lip and into position
on scissors. Place side pieces on first and then front
piece. The front piece overlaps side pieces.
7. Once you are satisfied with the positioning, remove trim
and set aside.
8. Remove the paper from double-sided tape that is
to accept trim side. Align side and then press hard
against tape to secure side piece. Repeat for other
side. Install front trim piece last.
9. There are 3 holes in the back flange of the top to
secure it to the wall if necessary. Use the appropriate
fastener for the type of wall material, i.e., brick, sheet
rock, etc.
NOTE: 3/8 inch (9.5mm) thick tile or like material can be
cut to size and fit under lip of top trim edge for a
decorative touch (Figure 21.3).
WARNING
Sheet metal trim edges will be sharp. For safety
purposes wear gloves.
Injury can occur.
