3. Attach fireplace to framing using (4) adjustable nailing
flanges. Preset depth to suit facing material (adjustable
to 1/2", 5/8" or 3/4" depths).
4. Use (8) 1/2" hex-head screws supplied in hardware
package to screw through slotted holes in nailing flanges,
then screw into pre-drilled holes on fireplace side. Measure

INSTALLATION

TO
Install the Fresh Air Kit - BVA1
A fresh air kit is available as an optional feature with this
appliance. The fresh air kit helps to decrease the amount
of room air taken by utilizing outside air for combustion. It is
strongly recommended that it be installed. Installation of the
fresh air kit should be performed at the framing stage of the
fireplace installation.
The fresh air kit installs on the left side of the fireplace.
To install the BVA1 fresh air kit, refer to the installation
instructions provided with the kit.
NOTE: The outside air kit can terminate at any level with
the exception that it must terminate at least 1 ft below the
vent termination cap. The fresh air kit inlet hood should be
positioned at least 2 ft above the ground level, in a manner
that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet.
Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous.
The outside air must not be taken from a garage
space, attic spaces, basements, or above the roofing
where other heating appliance, fans, or chimneys
exhaust or utilize the air.
Framing (Figure 11)
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace
framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The
framing headers may rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer
to Figure 11 for minimum framing dimensions.
Measure fireplace dimensions and verify framing
methods, and wall covering details before framing
construction begins
Framing dimension "A" includes a three inch
clearance for standoffs on firebox.
