Product Features
Essential for Proper Faceplate Installation
The faceplate backing plate mounts directly to the convection air jacket and supports the cast iron faceplate during final installation.
It ensures:
- Secure mounting surface
- Flush alignment against the fireplace finish
- Professional finished appearance
Required for Projection Kit AC01323
If your installation requires the 2" or 4" projection kit (AC01323), one of these backing plate kits must be purchased separately to secure the projection kit.
Two Size Options for Fireplace Coverage
Choose the correct size based on your fireplace opening and desired coverage:
- AC01322 – 29" x 44"
- AC01332 – 29" x 50"
These dimensions refer to the overall panel size that finishes the masonry opening.
Precision Mounting Bracket System
The kit aligns with factory predrilled holes on the Matrix-I insert’s convection air jacket.
⚠️ Predrilled hole locations must not be altered to avoid overheating and maintain manufacturer compliance.
OEM Steel Construction for Long-Term Durability
Manufactured from durable steel, the backing plate:
- Resists warping under high heat
- Provides rigid support for faceplate components
- Maintains airflow clearances required by Osburn
Designed Specifically for Masonry Fireplace Installations
The Matrix-I is approved for installation inside an existing masonry fireplace. This backing plate ensures the insert integrates cleanly into:
- Brick fireplace surrounds
- Stone hearth installations
- Tiled fireplace facings
