THE MASONRY CAP
The facade must be continued at least 4"
(100mm) above the top of the fireplace
modules.
Fill the resulting space between facade and
sides of the fireplace lid with ceramic wool.
Place a layer of 1/2" (12mm) ceramic wool
(pc K23) on top of the fireplace, ensuring
that it runs up the sides and ends of the
facade. (See Figs.19 & 20)
A continuous masonry cap of at least 2"
(50mm) must be added to the top of the
fireplace. It can be poured concrete, stone,
brick or other solid masonry material.
(Remember to include an expansion joint.-
refer to Figs. 19 & 20.)
The facade can
now be continued
to the ceiling, if
desired. In this case, open spaces should be
created in the top course of the masonry
facade or decorative metal grills should be
installed, to vent the trapped heat and
humidity.
The installation of your Temp-Cast fireplace
is now complete. The fire can be lit
immediately to begin the curing process or
left with doors and dampers open in warm
weather to allow trapped moisture to escape.
IMPORTANT!! Before firing the heater,
refer to the Owner's Manual for curing
and firing procedures.
