Section 4 – Installation of Door Frames & Facades
Temp-Cast 2000 Installation Manual

INSTALLING THE FACADE
Most facades will be installed by
professional masons, who will have their
own methods of planning and working.
(Refer also to “FACADE/FLANGE
OPTIONS” earlier in this section.)
Several details concerning the installation of
the masonry facade are unique to Temp-Cast
fireplaces and must be considered.
These points must be followed during the
installation of the facade:
All spaces between corrugated spacer
and masonry facing must be filled. DO
NOT LEAVE AN AIR SPACE
BETWEEN FACING AND HEATER
CORE!!!(See Fig. #19)
The masonry courses directly below the
fire doors must be sliced in half or
stepped out. This will provide a
permanent air slot, which will feed
combustion air from below into the
bottom of the door frame and into the
fire. (See Fig # 1a & 1b.)
An expansion break must be created
between the masonry cap & the facing,
to allow for unrestricted vertical
expansion of the core. (See Figs. 19 &
20)
The facade must be continuous on all
four sides and top of the heater. The
heater core must not be left exposed at
any point.
WARNING!
It is important that no air be able to
get into the space between heater
core & facing - on all 4 sides and the
top & around firebox & bakeoven
door frames. FAILURE TO SEAL
THESE SPACES MAY RESULT IN
A FIRE HAZARD.
