Fireplace Installation selecting location To determine the safest and most efficient location for the fireplace, you must take into consideration the following guidelines: 1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figures 1 and 2). 2. Consider a location where the fireplace will not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. 3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier. 4.
Fireplace Installation Continued Drain Pan (DP36) For outdoor installations, the fireplace enclosure must allow for adequate drainage and fresh air ventilation. It is recommended that a sealed, corrosion resistant catch pan with provision for drainage be installed under the fireplace within the fireplace enclosure (see Accessories on page 16). Hearth Extension WARNING: Hearth extension is to be installed only as shown in Figure 3. Mantels A mantel may be installed if desired (see Figure 4).
Venting Installation Optional Outside air Kit (Model ak4/ak4f) The installation of an outside air kit should be performed during the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of it's location. Outside combustion air is accessed through a vented crawl space (AK4F) or through a sidewall (AK4). See Figure 22 on page 13 for instruction of operating air kit. CAUTION: Combustion air inlet ducts shall not terminate in attic space.
Venting Installation Continued When connecting chimney directly to the fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be installed first with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be installed over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely engage the hem on the fireplace starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.

Use SC1 for all round terminations and SC2 for all terminations with slip sections. Apply waterproof caulk around the perimeter of the collar to provide a proper seal.
Venting Installation Continued Terminations with 16" slip pipe sections are available. The RTT-8DM and RTTL-8DM are approved for flashing installations. When needed, these adjustable terminations may be used in combination with the pipe assembly to achieve the correct chimney height. Note: In the rare instance there is a problem with the side driven rain or wind or the chimney is not drafting properly, an ADS-8DM (Anti-Draft Shield) can be used with round terminations.

Optional Gas Line Installation Continued CAUTION: All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after the installation is completed. After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply soap and water solution to all connections and joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING AND DO NOT OPERATE ANY APPLIANCE IF A LEAK IS DETECTED. LEAK TESTING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.
Operation and Maintenance Guidelines Continued The following tips should be followed to assure that both the fireplace and the glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue damper and the glass doors must be fully opened before starting the fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in the firebox. IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly.
