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
13). Brass trim will extend past sides of firebox approximately 1/2".
This will cover rough edges of wall opening. 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 finished wall surface. If installing in a corner, use dimensions
in Figures 7b, 7c and 7d for rough opening.
2. Install gas piping to firebox location. See Installing Gas Line, page
10 and Connecting to Gas Supply in log set owner's manual.
3. Carefully set firebox in front of rough opening with back of firebox
inside wall opening.
IMPORTANT: If installing a perimeter trim kit, see instructions
included with trim accessory. You must install shoulder screws
from trim kit now.
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.
