INSTALLATION

WOOD FLOOR PEDESTAL INSTALLATION
When the fireplace is to be installed over a wood floor, a non-combustible pedestal for the firebox to rest on
must be fabricated. If the bottom of the firebox is to be installed at a height of at least 8" from the wood floor,
then the pedestal will be constructed using concrete blocks. If the firebox bottom will be installed between a
height of 2
" to 8" then a heat shield must be installed.

CONCRETE BLOCK PEDESTAL (Firebox base height of at least 8")
FIG 2.

The firebox base thickness of 5" will be added to the block height. This will make the hearth elevation 13" when
8" blocks are used.
1. Set the concrete blocks on the floor exactly to the layout in FIG 3. The blocks should be stacked in the direc-
tion shown in FIG. 2. Mark around the blocks with chalk or a pencil. Remove the blocks and put mastic or
mortar inside the marked line. Replace the blocks now and allow to set while fireplace is assembled.
HEAT SHIELD INSTALLATION (Firebox base height of 2 1/2" to 8")

tional height is required).
1. Start by cutting a 24 gauge of sheet metal to the size of firebox base. Next layout 1 layer of firebrick as
shown in FIG 5. Mark around each brick with a pencil or chalk, and then remove the bricks. Spread a thin
layer of mortar or mastic in the brick lines, and replace bricks. Now place sheet metal and second layer of
firebrick as shown in FIG 4.
