conditions.
5.3 Wall bracket height and alignment:
.1 Fireplaces 7007, 7100, 7120: In order
for the top of the fireplace hood to touch the
ceiling, calculate the height of the wall
support bracket as follows:
distance between the top of the fireplace
hood and the first (higher) hole of the
bracket. Transfer this measurement onto the
wall from the ceiling. Center the bracket on
the chimney if the chimney is already
installed.
.2 Fireplaces 5005, 7005: Install the wall
support bracket at the height of your choice
(usually 15" (380 mm) above the floor). If
the chimney is already in place, install the
wall bracket at the height required to ensure a
fitted connection with the fireplace chimney
sleeve. Center the bracket on the chimney if
the chimney is already installed.
5.4
Anchoring the wall support bracket: The
wall support bracket must be firmly anchored to
the rear wall because the fireplace rests on it. If
you have a wood-framed wall, fix the bracket
with long bolts. Use metal expansion nuts and
bolts to anchor the bracket against a masonry or
concrete wall. In either case, the bolts must have
a minimum diameter of 5/16" (8 mm) and
penetrate at least 1-1/2" (40 mm) in the solid
background. Install at least 4 bolts with 2 bolts
located at the top of the bracket.
securely anchor the fireplace add more bolts if the
site conditions require it.
