PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION: Before You Start: Read this homeowner manual thoroughly and follow all instructions carefully. Inspect all contents for shipping damage and immediately inform your dealer if any damage is found. Do not install any unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION Figure 1: Fireplace Dimensions 2 Figure 2: Fireplace Locations and Minimum Clearances Requirements 5
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION 31” Min 2” Min 2” Min Figure 3: Wall & Ceiling Minimum Clearances Wall and Ceiling Clearance Requirements: Ensure that minimum clearance shown in Figures 3 is maintained. Left and right clearances are determined when facing the front of the appliance. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe installation. Failure to follow these requirements may create a fire hazard.
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION Mantel Clearances: A hood/canopy comes with every appliance. If a combustible mantel is installed, it must meet the clearance requirements detailed in Figure 4. Combustible wall or drywall to top front edge of unit Figure 4: Mantel Clearance Floor Clearances: The fireplace may be installed on a flat, hard combustible surface (i.e. flat wood, plywood, or particleboard). Be sure that the fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor of platform with appropriate framing support.
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION Figure 5: Combustible Clearances for Vent Pipe Framing Dimensions: Shows Center of 10”X 10” Vent Framing holes for Horizontal Venting Figure 6: Minimum Framing Dimensions Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing mantel. Figure 6 shows a typical framing of this appliance. Refer to Figure 1 for firebox dimensions.
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION Finishing Material: NOTE Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to avoid costly reconstruction. WARNING Never obstruct or modify the air inlet or outlet grills (louvers) in any manner as it may create a fire hazard. Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may be used to cover the black surface of the appliance.
VENT INSTALLATION VENT INSTALLATION: Positioning The Fireplace: NOTE The fireplace must be installed giving full consideration to the clearance and height requirements identified in this manual. 1. 2. 3. 4. Bend out the six (6) nailing flanges located on the sides and top of the fireplace Slide the firebox into prepared framing or position fireplace in its final position and frame later. Be sure fireplace is rested on a flat surface. Level the fireplace by checking the top of unit.
VENT INSTALLATION Horizontal Venting with One (1) Elbow: V, Vertical Elbow (5 inches) Elbow (5 inches) 1 foot Min 2 feet Min 3 feet Min 4 feet Min H, Horizontal 30 inches Max 30 inches Corner Max 5 feet Max 10 feet Max 15 feet Max 20 feet Max NOTE If a 90°° Elbow is first attached to the unit, the maximum horizontal run, H, is 30 inches straight out, and 30 inches at a corner installation.
VENT INSTALLATION Horizontal Venting with Three (3) Elbows: V, Vertical 1 foot Min 2 feet Min 3 feet Min 4 feet Min H, Horizontal 5 feet Max 10 feet Max 15 feet Max 20 feet Max NOTE H1 and V1 dimension must satisfy these two conditions: H + H1 < 20 feet V + H + V1 < 40 feet. Figure 11: Horizontal Venting with Three (3) Elbows INSTALLING VENT COMPONENTS Before You Start: Plan your installation. Set unit in place and survey how best to vent the unit. Select the appropriate pipe for the installation.
VENT INSTALLATION NOTE Two 45°° elbows (P/N 945) may be used in place of one 90°° elbow (P/N 990). WARNING Any horizontal run must have a 1/4” rise for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard. Figure 12: Installing Pipe Supports WARNING Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems.
VENT INSTALLATION For Ceiling • For ceiling firestops, position a plumb bob over the center of the vertical pipe; to spot a hole through which the pipe will penetrate. • Drill a hole through this centerpoint and check the floor for obstructions (i.e. wiring or plumbing). • Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate ceiling joists or obstructions. • Cut a 10-inch by 10-inch hole through the ceiling, using the center point.
VENT INSTALLATION Vent Termination: For Vertical Termination Figure 15: Minimum Vent Height for Various Roof Pitches WARNING Major building codes specify a minimum vent height above the rooftop depending on the pitch of the roof. Refer to the above figure for minimum heights, provided the termination cap is at least eight (8) feet from a vertical wall, and two (2) feet below a horizontal overhang.
VENT INSTALLATION For Horizontal Termination Figure 16: Horizontal Vent Termination Location # # A=12 inches B=12 inches C=12 inches D*=18 inches E*=18 inches F=9 inches G=6 inches # H=3 feet # I=6 feet # J=12 inches # # # K=6 feet L**=7 feet M***=12 inches # * ** *** Clearance above the grade, a veranda, porch, deck, or balcony Clearance to window or door that may be opened. Clearance to permanently closed window.
VENT INSTALLATION WARNING Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3 inches at the top and 1 inch at the sides and bottom of the vent system. For wall firestops, a 1-inch minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
VENT INSTALLATION 12-1/4” X 12-1/4” Cutout on Vinyl Deflector Shield Termination Cap Vinyl Siding Wall Figure 18 Horizontal Termination Cap on a Vinyl Siding Wall To locate and install horizontal termination cap (P/N HTC) • • • • • A wall firestop MUST BE installed if the vent passes through a wall or ceiling. Cut a 10-inch X 10-inch hole through the interior or exterior wall. The center of the hole is the centerline of the horizontal pipe.
GAS LINE AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION GAS LINE AND ELECTRICAL Gas Line Installation: NOTE Plumbing connections should only be performed by a qualified, licensed plumber. Main gas supply must be off when plumbing gas line to fireplace or performing service. • • • • • • • Consult all codes. All gas piping must be installed to comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
GAS LINE AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Figure 19: Gas Pressure Check at Gas Valve Electrical Wiring: CAUTION Electrical connections should only be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
