BUILT-IN FIREBOX INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this firebox involves
installing firebox into a framed-in enclosure.
This makes the front of firebox flush with wall.
Optional brass trim accessories are available
(see Accessories, page 15). Brass trim will
extend past sides of firebox approximately
1/2". This will cover rough edges of wall open-
ing. If installing a mantel above firebox, you
must follow clearances shown in Figure 6.
Follow these instructions to install firebox in
this manner.
1. Frame in rough opening. Firebox framing
should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber
or heavier. Use dimensions in table and
rough opening layout in Figure 7a. Adjust
framing so that firebox is flush with fin-
ished wall surface. If installing in a corner,
use dimensions in Figures 7b, 7c and 7d
for rough opening.
Wall board or facing
material (above
firebox) may be of
combustible material,
including decorative
mantel ornaments or
other similar projec-
tions off of the facing
material.
