If trim is installed, fasten it securely to face of fireplace. Seal any cracks between trim material and face of fireplace. Cracks can cause a fire and prevent fireplace from working properly. Block the fireplace with framing and attach the base to the supporting floor to reduce the possibility of such a crack developing. • Place wall ties in mortar joints of masonry trim. Fasten wall ties to face of fireplace with sheet metal screws. • Do not install combustible materials below the top spacers of the fireplace. Do not allow combustible materials to overlap the sides of fireplace face. Seal face of fireplace to surrounding wall with noncombustible caulk or trim materials. This will prevent cold air leaking around the fireplace. See Figure 23. • Use only non-combustible materials below top of spacers. • The trim must not block or restrict in any way the flow of air through the air inlet and air outlet louvers in the face of the fireplace.
