TYPICAL INSTALLATION

*Construction Materials:

• framing materials • paneling

• particle board • flooring

• millboard • dry wall

• plywood • etc.

PRECAUTIONS

Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult

to install. However, in the interest of safety, it

is recommended that the installer be a quali-

fied or certified “tradesman” familiar with com-

monly accepted fireplace installation and safety

techniques as well as prevailing local codes.

The most important areas of concern dealing

with the installation of factory-built fireplaces

are clearances to combustible materials, proper

assembly of component parts, height of the

chimney system, the proper use of accesso-

ries supplied by the manufacturer and the

techniques employed in using finishing mate-

rials applied to the wall surrounding the fire-

place, hearth extensions and wall shields. Each

of these topics will be covered in thorough

detail throughout this manual. Please give

each your special attention as you progress

with your installation.

lations may vary due to individual design prefer-

ences. However, always maintain minimum clear-

ances to combustible materials and do not vio-

late any specific installation requirements.
