FIREBRICK WALL INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Installation of brick
should be done after the fire-
place is placed in a permanent
location.
1. The fireplace is shipped with the hearth
preinstalled. It is held in place for ship-
ping with 3 shipping brackets (Figure 19).
Remove these brackets before installing
any of the other firebrick walls.

wall into the fireplace opening and into
the slots on the side of the hearth (Figure

the firebox surround.
