Fireplace Installation

Nailing Flanges

Two nailing flanges are shipped with the fireplace to secure the fireplace to the framing or cabinet. For framing, secure

the nailing flanges to the framing from the front. For cabinets, secure the nailing flanges to the inside of the cabinet.

Secure the nailing flanges to the fireplace with the included nuts (see figure 8). Use the correct alignment hole for either

½” (13mm) or 1” (25mm) facing (see figure 9).

When re-installing the side flange, make sure
it tucks under the top flange.

Facing Other Than
½” (13mm) or 1”
(25mm) Thick

If the facing is not ½”

(13mm) or 1” (25mm)

thick, temporarily secure a

strip of facing material to

both sides of the fireplace

opening. The facing

thickness must represent

the total thickness of the

finished facing. Insert the

fireplace into place and

slide it back until the front

of the fireplace (including

screw heads) is flush with

the facing. Secure the

fireplace to the framing or

cabinet using shims and

the nailing flanges or the

nail down brackets (see

Figure 11).

Trim Strip

Install the included trim strip as shown in Figure 10. This conceals the drywall edge near the fireplace.
