4. Positioning, Safety Strips,
Securing the Fireplace
Slide fireplace into position.
Lift the fireplace front slightly and slide the metal safety
strips under front bottom edge about 1¹⁄₂ inches,
allowing the remainder to extend in front of firebox.
Overlap strips at least 1/2 inch to provide a positive
joint. (Flat safety strips are packed with fireplace.)
(Fig. 12)
Safety strips are used to ensure that any combustible
materials in front of the fireplace are protected even
though a noncombustible hearth extension is required.
If fireplace is to be elevated above the floor, a “Z”
shaped metal safety strip must be fabricated and used
to protect combustible surfaces in front of the fireplace.
This “Z” shaped safety strip is not provided but must be
fabricated of metal with each horizontal leg at least 1¹⁄₂
inches wide and equal in length to the metal strips
provided with the fireplace.
Note: Safety strips are not required over non-combus-
tible floors where all supports at the base of the fire-
place are noncombustible.
Four (4) nailing flanges are supplied with the fireplace
(found on the fireplace hearth). To level the box and
secure it firmly in place, remove the nailing flanges from
the hearth and install at the sides of the fireplace as
shown in Figure 13.
Installing Outside Air Kit
An outside air damper assembly is installed in all
ODSHR Series Fireplaces. If desired, or if local codes
mandate the use of an air kit, then an AK-MST is
required to complete the installation (from air damper
assembly to the outdoors). If the outside air kit is to be
used, the AK-MST MUST be installed BEFORE the
fireplace is enclosed. Refer to the AK-MST instructions
for field installation.
