InstallationOrder
We strongly recommend having a qualified framer on hand while installing the exterior
window onto a DaVinci custom fireplace. This process requires very precise
measurements. A framer may be required to match the position of the fireplace to the
external framing.

MethodA:ExternalGlassFrameInstalledtoFramingFirst
a) Attachtheexternalglassframetotheexternalframing(useappropriatewindowsillprotectionaround
thewindowopening).
b) Verifytheplatformheightandhowitlinesupwiththeexternalwindowopening.Thismeasurement
mustbeprecise–double‐checkthisdimensionwiththefireplaceandthealignmenttrack.
c) Ifusinganalignmenttrack(thesteelcomponentunderthefireplaceusedtoaligncategory2units),
placeitintopositionandsecureusingonlyafewscrews.Checkthealignmentofthetracktomake
sureitwillpositionthefireplace1/8”fromtheexternalglassframe(+or–1/16”).
‐‐Ifitistooclosetotheexternalframe,thefireplacewillnotfit.
‐‐Ifitistoofarfromtheexternalframe,theexternalglassframewillnotsealtothefireplace.
Youmaywishtoplacethefireplaceonthetrackandnotateitspositiontotheexternalglassframe.If
itisnot1/8”fromtheexternalglassframe(checkall4sides)notatethedimension,removethe
fireplace,thenre‐alignthealignmenttracktothecorrectdimension.
d) Attachthebutylgaskettotheexternalglassframe.
e) Positionthefireplaceontheplatform/alignmenttrack(makesureyouinstallthefireplacefacingthe
correctdirection–thefireplacecontrolsshouldbeaccessibleafterinstallation).
f) Securetheexternalglassframetothefireplace.
g) Installtheremainingexternalglassframecomponents.

MethodB:AttachExternalGlassFrametoFireplaceFirst
a) Lineupthefireplaceplatformwiththeexternalopening.Makesuretoleavetheexternalopening
toolarge(minimum6”inalldirections).
b) Verifytheplatformheightandhowitlinesupwiththeexternalwindowopening.Thismeasurement
mustbeprecise–double‐checkthisdimensionwiththefireplaceandthealignmenttrack.
c) Attachthebutylgaskettotheexternalglassframe.
d) Securetheexternalglassframetothefireplace.
e) Positionthefireplaceontheplatform/alignmenttrack(makesureyouinstallthefireplacefacingthe
correctdirection–thefireplacecontrolsshouldbeaccessibleafterinstallation)..Beforesecuringthe
fireplace/alignmenttracktotheplatform,verifytheexternalwindowlinesupwiththeexternalwall
framingandsheathing.Youmayneedtoalterthe“front/back”alignmentslightlytoaligntheexternal
glassframe.
f) Installtheremainingexternalwallframing/sheathing(useappropriatewindowsillprotectionaround
thewindowopening).NOTE:Becausetheframeisattachedbeforetheframing,youmayneedtotuck
theframing/sheathingunderthewindowledges.
g) Installtheremainingexternalglassframecomponents.
