Install optional hearth base. Position and center the base in the

front of the fireplace. Secure the base using construction adhe-

sive or finishing nails. If using finishing nails, use a stud finder or

other method, locate at least two studs in the wall above the base.

Push the base tightly against the wall,

45 degree angle down through the top, as shown in above.

Using 16d finish nails, nail the base to the wall. Use a nail set

to set the nail head below surface of the top, and fill the result-

ing hole with an appropriate filler.

Also check the outer edge of mantel where it fits against the

wall to see that there are no excessively large gaps. Small gaps

will be filled later with caulk. Any large gaps (more than 3/16")

may require that you trim the mantel return to conform to the

irregularities in the wall, or that you consider straightening the

wall before you install the mantel.

The method used for fastening your mantel to the wall may vary

depending on your situation. Mantels can be nailed, glued,

screwed (preferably with finish-head screws), attached with

brackets of various types.

The most common method is to nail through the top of the

mantel into studs in the wall. That method will be explained

here.

Have someone hold the mantel tightly against the wall while you

view it from all sides to make sure everything is fitting properly

and that visible portions of marble legs are equal. The inner

edge of the mantel should lap the outer edge of the surround

material around the firebox. Remember that the scribe will

close the gap between mantel and stone and cover another

1/2" of the stone once it is installed.

Using 16d finish nails, nail the mantel to the wall. Use a nail set

to set the nail head below surface of mantel, and fill the result-

ing hole with an appropriate filler.

If the mantel requires nailing at the legs, repeat the drilling and

nailing process at a location where there is a stud or other

backing in the wall.

[Alternate method if you choose not to use nails in your new

mantel: Carefully mark the correct position of the mantel on

the wall. Remove mantel from the wall and run a bead of

silicone along the rear edge of return and top where it contacts

the wall, all the way around. Press mantel firmly against the

wall being careful to locate it properly with the marks you made.

Hold the mantel against the wall with diagonal braces or other

means until the silicone is set.]
