However, in the interest of safety, it is recommended that the installer be a qualified or certified “tradesman” familiar with commonly accepted fireplace installation and safety tech- niques as well as prevailing local codes.

ASSEMBLY STEPS Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation.
Note: Safety strips are not required when fire- place rests on a noncombustible surface. Note: Install the hearth extension only as illus- trated. The safety strips should extend from front of the fireplace at least 1 " and should extend to be at least flush with the sides.
Note: The framed depth, 28 " (714 mm) from a framed wall, must always be measured from a finished surface. If a wall covering such as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall, then the framed depth must be measured from the drywall surface.

Use 8d nails or equivalent ( Figure 17 ). 8d Nail Figure 17 Note: The nailing tabs and the area directly behind the nailing tabs are exempt from the clearances described on page 5.

Step 4. Note: Chimney sections are constructed with a unique locking tab design, which en- sures an immediate, tight assembly between sections. Plan your chimney requirements care- fully before assembly as chimney is difficult to disassemble after installation. If disassembled, the tabs might become damaged.
Step 8. The standard Security Chimneys FTF10 roof flashing assemblies include a storm collar. Slide the storm collar over outer chimney, rest on flashing spacers and align with top surface of flashing. Insert tab in slot, pull tight and bend tab back over slot.

Example: Given that the required “R value” for a suitable hearth extension used must be equal to or greater than: “R” = r x T = 3.70 x " = 3.70. If it is desired to elevate a marble hearth exten- sion to a level of 5"...
