  Masonry Installations:  

[See STEP 3 for Non-Masonry Applications]

• To complete this installation, use the two (2) Hood 
Supports to attach the hood.  The Hood Supports 
are aligned to support the Hood-Left and Hood-Right 
Sections and will be attached using two (2) 1-1/4” 
masonry screws.  Use care when installing the masonry 
screws not to damage the materials.  Alternative 
fasteners may be required if attaching to the steel 
brick lintel or other materials.  

• The Hood Supports are installed with the short leg of 
the bracket extending into the firebox and the longer 
arm extending up the face of the non-combustible 
surface.  IMPORTANT:  If the surface is uneven, be 
sure the brackets are installed so that the bracket has 
clearance from the most pronounced surface, 3-1/2” 
above the fireplace opening.  Attach the brackets 
with two (2) masonry screws, pre-drilling if necessary.  
DO NOT fully tighten the screws so the hood may be 
adjusted.  
 
• Place the hood onto the installed brackets so that the 
hood rests on the offsets of the Hood Supports.  No 
screws are necessary to attach the Hood to the Hood 
Supports.  Align the Hood as desired and tighten the 
four (4) masonry screws installed earlier.  

• Installation is complete.

  Continued ... Non-Masonry Installations:  

• Measure 2-3/4” above the fireplace opening and 
install two (2) 1/2” screws for each section.  Do not fully 
tighten the screws.  

• Align the FAH-BLK with the screws and allow the 
selected slots on the hood to slide between the finished 
surface and screw heads.  

• Adjust the hood as necessary to align with fireplace 
opening and tighten all four (4) screws in both the 
Hood-Left and Hood-Right.  

• Installation is complete.
