I. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built
Firebox
• The fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built
fi rebox in order to gain minimum insert opening require-
ments.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed
from a factory-built fi rebox if attached with mechanical fas-
teners.
• The metal fl oor of the factory-built fi rebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1 inch
(25mm) airspace is provided between the insert and the
