DIRECT CONNECTION:
1. Make sure the fireplace and chimney are thoroughly cleaned, inspected and repaired where necessary to
make it safe. Paint with a latex paint as explained on Pg. 19.
2. Wire open or remove the firebox damper.
3. Measure the area of the firebox below the damper opening and above the lintel. Transfer these
measurements to a piece of galvanized sheet metal (min. 24 gauge) and add 2" to each side. Mark the
position of several holes on each side, to suit your specific installation, and drill 1/4" diameter holes. Next
bend the 2" extended side to a 45
°
angle. The 2" lip with the 1/4" diameter holes will allow you to screw
the plate to the firebox walls.
