FINISHING
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:
Before placing unit into fi nal position - it is important to know the total
thickness / height of fi nished hearth (tile, carpet, etc.) The base of the
fi replace should be level or higher than the fi nished hearth height.
Diagram 1
Note: All facing material should butt up cleanly to the fl anges
around the fi rebox opening.
Rough edges will be visible from the front view with the fl ush
louvers or fl ush panels - if not using the fi nishing trim.
To maintain a clean fi nished edge - it is recommended to install
the drywall or other facing material with the fi nished edge against
the fi replace / nailing strips.
Alternatively, you can use J Style Trim or Metal Corner Bead
to cover cut edges of the facing material.
Important:
Finishing materials such as tile, river rock, etc, must not protrude
beyond the front facing fl anges the sides and top of the fi rebox
opening.
Full Screen Doors Only:
If fi nishing with any material thicker than 1-1/4" - a 3/4" gap must
be maintained between the full screen doors and the fi nishing
material.
This gap is necessary to facilitate the installation and removal of
the full screen doors.

UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips, the 2 Top Standoffs and the Flue Collar must be correctly positioned and attached before the fi replace
is moved into position.
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a fl at position and must be folded into shape and
attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fi replace top.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-punched screw holes on the fi replace
top line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite
corners).
Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall or wood plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary
from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
Screw Facing Material
The Top Facing Support can be mounted in
3 different positions depending on the
thickness of the facing material.
Position Depth
A 1/2" / 13mm
B 7/8" / 22mm
C* 1-1/4" / 32mm
* For "C" screw position the top facing
support is reversed.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.

VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The B36X uses the "balanced fl ue" technology Co-Axial system.
The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the
outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber
thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion
and losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These fl ue pipes must not be connected to any other
appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the
outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving
a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent
systems are prohibited.
