INSTALLATION
WARNING! Risk of Damage or Personal Injury! Failure to install the fi replace as instructed below may result
in damage to the equipment and or may expose the user
to the risk of fi re, serious injury, illness or death.
A. Wall Mounting Bracket
The wall mounting bracket must be used to mount the
appliance. This appliance must be mounted to a structural wall capable of bearing a 40 pound load.
• Remove bracket from back of unit.
• Determine the desired location of the appliance on
the wall.
• Place the wall mounting bracket in the desired location.
• Ensure that the bracket is level.
• Mark four locations on the wall that correspond to
the four required mounting points in the bracket.
See Figure 4.1.
If installing on masonry wall, proceed to masonry
wall installation instructions.
B. Installing Wall Mount Bracket
The wall mounting bracket can be installed on masonry
walls such as those constructed of brick or concrete,
or to framed walls constructed of wood or steel framing
sheathed with gypsum drywall, wood, etc. The method
used to mount the mounting bracket is different between
masonry walls and framed walls. Refer to the following
sections for more detail on the method applicable to this
installation.
Masonry Wall
• In the marked locations, drill four 5/16 in. diameter x
2 in. deep holes.
• Insert the provided wall anchors into the holes.
Gently tap the anchors with a hammer until they are
fl ush with the wall surface.
• Attach the bracket to the masonry anchors with four
5 x 40 screws . See Figure 4.2
• Orientate the bracket so that its mounting hooks are
on the bottom and the bracket tabs are on the top.
See Figure 4.3 and 4.7.
• Fasten the bracket to the wall.
Note: The bracket installation method varies de
pending on the wall construction (See Section B).
= Required Mounting Points
Note: Only four of the twelve holes are needed for mounting points.

SimpliFire • SF-WMS38-BK • 2040-911 Rev. B • 4/14
Framed Wall
• For each of the marked mounting point locations,
determine which points align with a structural framing member.
• At the points where a wood or metal framing member exists, the 5 x 40 screw can be installed directly
into that structural member. See Figure 4.3.
• Every mounting point that does not align with a
structural framing member, a wall board toggle-bolt
anchor must be used. See Figure 4.4.
Figure 4.6 Installing Anchors in Hollow Wall
Figure 4.4 3/16 Toggle-Bolt Anchor
• Four 3/16 toggle-bolt anchors are provided to accommodate the four required mounting points. Use
of toggle bolt anchors requires drywall thickness of
minimum 1/2 in.
• Insert the bolt through the front side of the mounting
bracket and thread the toggle onto it from the rear of
the bracket. See Figure 4.5.
• Fold the toggle wings fl ush against the bolt and push
them through a drilled hole until they expand open
on the other side. See Figure 4.6.
• Pull back on the bolt and tighten. See Figure 4.4.
Note: This product cannot be installed on a wall
sheathed with drywall less than 1/2 in. thick, unless
all four mounting points in the mounting bracket
align with structural framing members.
WARNING! Risk of Damage or Personal Injury! Allowable pull-out and shear strength are 25% of ultimate
values or less, as required by building authorities.
C. Appliance Installation
• With the fi rebox at an angle, align the slots in the back
of the fi rebox over the hooks on the bottom of the wall
bracket. Pull the appliance down to ensure that the
hooks are fully engaged. See Figure 4.7.A.
• Carefully press the top of the fi rebox against the wall
mount bracket sliding the top edge over the wall mount
bracket tabs. See Figure 4.7.B.
• Secure the appliance to the bracket with two thumb
screws. See Figure 4.7.B.
