Step 3:
Step 4:
Step 5:
Push adjustable valance extensions all the way
inside the central valance to make whole valance
its minimum width (31.5 inches).
Align valance in center of your firebox. Be sure
front of the valance is flush with outer edge of
firebox and that the two center holes face the roof
of your firebox. Mark the location of the two holes
with a pencil.
Drill two pilot holes on the two pencil marks
using a 3/16 inch masonry drill bit. If your firebox
has a metal lintel, first drill a 1/4 inch hole
through the metal.
Place valance back in the center of your firebox.
Secure in place with two blue tapcon screws.
Once valance is screwed in place, slide one
valance extension outward until it meets the
inner wall of firebox. Mark hole at the end of
extension with a pencil.

Tools needed for installation:

The perspective when installing the rod and
screen will be from behind the valance, NOT
straight on.
Step 8:
Step 9:
Lay out screen panels on a flat surface. Using
straight end of the rod and starting at end of
panel opposite cool grip pull, begin threading the
rod through rings. Be sure to skip the first ring (it
will be attached inside the valance later).
To install right side panel, be sure pull side of the
screen is towards middle of the firebox. Then
insert straight end of rod through the center rod
holder hook farthest away from the right side (It
will be a straight line from the rod hook on the
end of the right side valance extension). Slide rod
through the hook until there is enough room to
insert the “right angle” end of the rod onto rod
hook at the end of the valance extension.
Step 10:
Step 11:
Insert the “right angle” end of the rod onto rod
hook by sliding it over and then down.
Once rod is secure, attach the unthreaded first
ring onto the rod hook on right side valance
extension (This helps prevent the screen from
pulling away from the walls of your firebox when
in use). Repeat steps 8-11 for le side.
Step 6:
Step 7:
Drill a pilot hole on the pencil mark using the
same 3/16 inch masonry drill bit.
Slide valance extension back to meet the outer
wall. Then secure to inner wall of your firebox
with a tapcon screw. Repeat steps 5-7 for
opposite side valance extension.
It is preferable to use a masonry drill bit for
this project, but a regular drill bit will work if
masonry is so. Use anchors with your tapcon
screws if needed.
