Place the Mason-Lite fireplace hearth on the floor where the �; for Left Side position fireplace is to be installed. For concrete slabs, supporting floor needs to be rated at ASTM 90. 2. Draw an outline of the hearth area based on the dimensions shown in Figure 12. Position Hearth slabs and mark rebar center locations.Drill4 inches into concreteslab and secure the 8 pieces of 12 inch rebar with epoxy. For other than O concrete slabs,draw an outline of the hearth area based on the dimensions in Figure 5 taking special consideration on the position of where the all-thread studs will be located in i relation to the anchoring locations. All-thread rods should stick up through the holes on the hearth slabs. 6.
