Fireplace Framing - Monessen Hearth BLDV400 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

FIREBOx FRAMING
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. Construct firebox framing following
Figure 2 and the chart below for your specific installation requirements. Refer to Figure 3 on page 8 for firebox
dimensions. The framing headers may rest on the top of the firebox standoffs. Do not bring headers below top
of standoffs. Please note: When planning your framing and installation, keep in mind that your gas line will come
in on the right side of the box (as you are facing it) and your electricity will come in on the left side.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height.
Do not fill spaces around firebox with
insulation or other materials. This
could cause a fire.
