NOTE: When using the optional 45° nailing strip be sure
to line up the 45° nailing strip with the 45° angle on the
top framing guide to ensure facing will be flush.
LOCATION
Your Delta fireplace may be installed in many different
ways (see Figure 5) without any special floor reinforce-
ment.
Warning: If this fireplace is not properly installed, a
house fire may result. For your safety, follow the
installation directions and clearances.
1. Note the location of roof and floor joists. Choose a
location that does not require cutting them.
2. If at all possible, run the chimney up the inside of the
house. If it must be run up outside, it should be
enclosed in an insulated enclosure (see Chase
Enclosure). Remember, a cold chimney causes poor
draft!
INSTALLATION
Check local codes concerning restrictions and installa-
tion requirements in your area.
Warning: Remove the left and centre doors and
cover right side door before installation and place
them in a safe area to reduce the possibility of :
a) vandalism;
b) sub-trade tool abrasion, chipping, or breaking of
glass;
c) gold finish damage because of muriatic acid, plaster,
cement, paint and harmful sprays or liquids, and sub-
trade tool abrasion.
MOVING THE DELTA
Due to the weight of the Delta we recommend you use a
furniture dolly and place the Delta as shown in the dia-
gram below. The Delta weighs 620 lbs. complete and 450
lbs. stripped. The Delta should be stripped before mov-
ing it if possible. Elevate the fireplace and dolly to a 45°
angle to move.
NOTE: If using an Eskelera a 2 x 4 will have to be placed
between the two forks before using.
STANDOFF INSTALLATION
Before installing your Delta, the side nailing strips need
to be assembled as follows:
1. Remove the nailing strips from the top of the unit.
2. Remove the four (4) metal screws on each side of the
Delta facing.
3. Attach the nailing strip to the side of the Delta using
the metal screws that you removed in Step 2 (Figure
4).
