The fireplace manufacturer’s technical specifications take precedence over any
thing detailed in the following. All clearances or installation requirements
detailed in the fireplace manufactures installation manual or the local building
code should be strictly followed.
The Jura-stone mantel is designed to be hung on a set of steel brackets and
wood 2x3’s, which are securely attached to the stud wall (behind the drywall).
These steel brackets lock the mantel together and keep the mantel firmly
attached to the wall.
Always install this mantel with the brackets!
Failure to do this could result in serious injury!
Fires of Tradition assumes no responsibility for the colour and texture
variations of Jurastone mantels. There will be slight variations in colour and
texture from time to time. Fires of Tradition assumes no responsibility for the
care and cleaning of Jurastone mantel.
NOTE– the installation requirements for the gas fireplace are very
relative to the front you are going to be using. Make sure that you
read the proper section of this manual thoroughly in order to in-
sure that the fireplace is installed at the correct height relative to
the floor!

Before you begin to install the Valor gas fireplace, take the time to completely
read this manual, and to familiarize yourself with all of the components that
are required to complete the installation. This is critical to make sure that you
have a complete understanding of the inter relationship of these components.
Failure to do so will result in a poor fitting mantel, and require costly back
tracking.
The bracket kit consists of-
• 1 pc left wall bracket
• 1 pc right wall bracket
• 1 pc shelf bracket
• 2 pcs foot brackets
The JSUR slip kit consists of-
• 1 pc left side
• 1 pc right side
• 1 pc top
• 1 pc riser
This is only used with the
Horizon engine. If the 530
fireplace and Windsor front
are used, this slip kit is not
required. See page 11.

The mantel consists of-
• 1 pc left leg
• 1 pc right leg
• 1 pc beam
• 1 pc shelf
• 1 pc hearth [optional]
Note that the mantel kit also contains the brackets, a bag of thinset adhesive, a
pair of gloves and a hardware blister pack.
It is prudent to assemble some of the pcs as a dry run before you begin to install
the system, to insure that you understand how all parts fit together. This is also
an excellent time to check the relationship of these pcs to the fireplace itself, to
insure that it is installed at the correct height, and is in the correct position
relative to the wall.
At all times, it is necessary to be as clean and careful as possible. Check the fit
of all joints before letting go of components, to insure that they are properly
seated. Insure that hands are clean, and use the gloves to insure that no
smudges or marks are left on the surface of the mantel. Wipe thoroughly all
surfaces that might have cement smeared on their surface.
Carefully lay out the boxes in an area of the room where they will be out of the
way, and open them up. Remove any loose packing, and with care, pull the
pieces out and lay them down on the floor where they can individually be
accessed.

The fireplace must be
installed off the floor to
account for the height of the
hearth and the riser (the riser
is included with the four piece
slip system). The total height
that the unit must sit at is 4
¾” from the finished floor to
the base of the fireplace. If the
measurement is greater the
unit will sit higher than the
riser, resulting in a gap
between the fireplace and the
riser.
The fireplace front must not
be installed flush with the
wall, as there will not be
enough adjustment in the
front to bring it flush with the
back of the surround. The
fireplace should be installed
so that the Fenderfire face is
no less than 1 3/8” but no
more than 1 7/8” from the
finished wa ll. I f thi s
measurement is maintained
you will have 1” of adjustment
outward on the Fender fire
face plate.
Note: If the unit is being installed where there is no room for the fireplace to be re-
cessed into the wall then wall must be framed out. When framing out the wall don't
forget to consider the impact of the taped drywall corners. We suggest that you add
an extra 3” for each side for a total of 6” to the widest part of the mantle (the hearth
not the shelf).
