Just purchased a Harman Accentra. Does the frame have to be bolted down inside the fireplace. For some reason I hate the idea of drilling anchor bolts ino the brick. Would the leveling rods on each side work to keep the stove from moving? Ed
Thanks for the help, tapcon it is. Is it ok to put use cement board adhered to the sheet metal flue damper kit? I'm also going to use Roxul insulation behind the damper kit and around the pipes. Can the Roxul be put between the exhaust pipe and the damper sealer holes instead of silicone? EdTapcon the frame.

Why no tap con?the frame should have two bars to screw up to the lentil and four screws to level it and wedge it in to the opening. I suggest not using tapcon into the fire brick unless that is your only option.

I used the cement board as a backer and sheet metal screws to put the sheet metal back as one piece. If I use furnace cement when connecting the flue pipe to the stub, what would happen if I had to take it out at a later date, say to clean out the flue pipe? Couldn't I just use some hose clamps instead or maybe that would not give the connection an air-tight seal?
