8" MeTal Base (MMB63)

The Metal Base (MMB63) ensures the minimum

8" clearance above combustible flooring is main-

tained with Grand Meridian Model MM63.
A layer of 1/2" minimum Cement Board (Not Includ-

ed) is required on the top and mid section below as

shown in Figure 32, page 21. The required sizes are

shown in the table below.

IMPORTANT:

Remember to tighten up nuts below

the floor after fireplace installation in order to take up

any slack in the threads.

eMBeR PRoTeCToR sTRIPs:

Ember protector strips (included with Metal Base Kit)

are required between the front of the Fireplace Hearth

and Hearth Extension. A minimum thickness of 26

gauge metal strip at least 4" wide can be used. The

length needs to extend 2 inches beyond each side

of the fireplace opening. If two strips are used, make

sure they overlap at least two inches in the middle.

The strip is placed about 2" into the underside of the

platform at the front (Figure 10, page 10).
NOTE: When using an on-site constructed hearth ex-

tension, you may use a sand-cement grout between

the hearth and extension instead.
