FINISHING FIREPLACE
Combustible materials, such as wallboard,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may make direct contact with sides and
top around the fireplace face. It is important
that combustible materials do not overlap face
itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible
materials may overlap front face provided they
do not obstruct essential openings like louvered
slots or any other opening. When overlapping
with a noncombustible facing material, use only
noncombustible mortar or adhesive.

INSTALLATION
Gas line hook up should be done by your sup-
plier or a qualified service person.

supply is turned off. Use only a 1/2" black iron
pipe and appropriate fittings.

either side of fireplace and pull out insula-
tion from gas line conduit sleeve. Save
insulation for reuse. Replace screws.
2. Run a 1/2" black iron gas line into fireplace
through rear at gas line conduit sleeve (if us-
ing a raised platform, add height). Provide
sufficient gas line into fireplace chamber for
fitting connection (see Figure 18).
Note: Secure incoming gas line to wood
framing to provide rigidity for threaded
end.
3. Repack insulation around gas line and into
sleeve opening. Seal any gaps between
gas line and refractory knockout hole with
refractory cement or commercial furnace
cement, Install the gas appliance or cap-off
gas line if desired.
