The safety strips should extend in front and
sides of the fireplace opening 2" (51 mm) . In
the event a wooden support is used to elevate
the fireplace above the floor, a "Z" type safety
strip should be fabricated and used to protect
the front surface of the wood support as well
as the floor beneath the hearth extension ( see
Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11 ). The safety strips
should be tacked down to prevent possible
movement.
Note: The "Z" type safety strip is not supplied.
Step 3. Refer to fireplace drawings and speci-
fications on pages 7 and 8 for framing dimen-
sions and details. False header may be posi-
tioned directly on top of the fireplace spacers
( see Figures 12, 13 and 14 ).
