PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION FIREPLACE LOCATION Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent configuration to be used, framing and finishing details, and whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch, or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits and inspections.
CLEARANCES Follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe installation. Failure to follow instructions exactly can create a fire hazard. The appliance cannot be installed on a carpet, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring. If installed on carpet or vinyl flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal, wood or noncombustible material panel extending full width and depth of the appliance.
SECURING FIREPLACE TO FLOOR OR FRAMING WARNING The fireplace must be secured to the floor and/or to framing studs as shown in Figure 5. Use two (2) wood screws or masonry/ concrete screws to secure fireplace to the floor. Use four (4) screws to attach fireplace to framing. The side nailing flanges are 1/2" or 5/8" to accommodate different wall thickness.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION FINISHING MATERIAL WARNING NOTE: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to avoid costly reconstruction. Never obstruct or modify the air inlet or outlet grills (louvers). This may create a fire hazard. Read all instructions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life.
WARNING VENT INSTALLATION This fireplace must be vented to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems. WARNING WARNING Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue penetrates the outside wall.
OPTIONAL TOP VENT APPLICATION The appliance is shipped as a rear vent unit. If the installation layout requires the unit to be a top vent configuration the appliance can be converted by following the steps below. NOTE: REMOVE AND DISCARD TOP BOX AND INSULATION ON TOP OF THE UNIT BETWEEN THE STAND-OFFS. THIS BOX IS ONLY UTILIZED WITH REAR-VENT APPLICATIONS.
INSTALLATION PLANNING There are two basic types of direct-vent installation: • Horizontal Termination • Vertical Termination It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness. WARNING VENT INSTALLATION Never run the vent pipe level or downward. This may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a fire. FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Select the amount of vertical rise desired.

VENTING INSTALLATION REAR (THROUGH THE WALL) APPLICATIONS When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall behind the appliance • The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of the appliance and the outside of termination is 20" (508 m). See Figure 15. • Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations. Female Locking Lugs Maximum 20" Note: Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet (914mm).
VENT INSTALLATION REAR WALL VENT INSTALLATION (continued) 4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the outside edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the center of hole on the exterior wall with the word “HOT” on the vent cap facing up. Insure proper clearance of 1" to combustibles is maintained to the flue. Attach the vent cap with four wood screws supplied. See Figure 18. Vent Cap T WARNING HO Wood Screw Do not recess vent termination into any wall. This will cause a fire hazard.
VENT INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable. See Figure 13, page 17.
VENT INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATION (Continued) • 90° A If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36". See Figures 21 and 22, page 20. This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise. See Figure 24. B Example: According to the vent graph (page 17) the maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.
VENT INSTALLATION BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed.
VENT INSTALLATION VERTICAL (THROUGH-THE-ROOF) APPLICATIONS This Gas Fireplace has been approved for, • Vertical installations up to 40' (12m) in height. Up to a 10' (3m) horizontal vent run can be installed within the vent system using a maximum of two 90° elbows. See Figure 28. NOTE: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue penetrates the outside wall.
VENT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION 1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. See Figure 30 to avoid cutting load bearing members. For optimal flame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary on straight vertical runs of 20' of more. • Runs may not incorporate elbows.
VENT INSTALLATION 3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof). The 91/2"x91/2" (241mm x 241mm) hole must be measured on the horizontal. Actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" minimum clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. (Insulation should be considered a combustible material). 4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.
FLEX VENT INSTALLATION UL1777 Flex vent 1. Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any venting application where rigid direct vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply to the flexible venting. Flex kits may not be modified. Flex kits may be added to the end of a vent run made of rigid vent sections using pipe manufacturer’s approved flex to pipe adapters.
FLEX VENT INSTALLATION 3. Do not allow the flexible vent to bend in radius tighter than 5" (127mm). Refer to Figure 2. 4. Horizontal runs of flexible vent shall be supported at maximum 2 foot intervals; vertical runs, five feet intervals. Metal strapping, properly secured, is an acceptable means to support the flexible vent. 5. Flexible vent spacers are to be installed at intervals prescribed by the flexible vent manufacture; and in such a way as to maintain concentric inner and outer vent spacing. D.
