INSTALLATION IMPORTANT MESSAGE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The Gem54™ Direct Vent Fireplace must be installed in accordance with these instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the "authority having jurisdiction" to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure this fireplace is installed in compliance with manufacturers instructions and all applicable codes and complies with a S5601 / AG601 clause 5.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CHECKLIST 1) Locate appliance a) Room location (Refer to "Locating Your Gas fireplace" section) b) Clearances to Combustibles (Refer to "Clearances" section) c) Mantle Clearances (Refer to "Mantel Clearances" section) d) Framing & Finishing Requirements (Refer to "Framing & Finishing" section) e) Venting Requirements (Refer to "Venting" section) This includes: 1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct firing rate (rate noted on label 41,500 Btu/h, after burning appliance for
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated: A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance that this fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance with these instructions. Caution Requirements The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by standoffs.
INSTALLATION NON COMBUSTIBLE FACING BOARD 5-5/8” (143mm) 52-5/8” (1343mm) Non-combustible Facing Board 21-3/4” (554mm) Non-combustible Facing Board Non-combustible Facing Board If finishing the wall above the unit with materials such as tile, brick, marble, etc. non-combustible board available from the building supply store can be used. Timber Stud 20" (508mm) Calcium silicate board is a high - grade material with cement, quartz, natural and selected minerals as the main raw materials.
INSTALLATION (152mm) (102mm) (51mm) 2 (254mm) 4 (305mm) 6 (356mm) 14 12 10 8 Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board. 0 Due to the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing are shown in the diagram on the right.
INSTALLATION FRAMING & FINISHING 1) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. IMPORTANT: Header must be metal stud. All other framing may be of combustible type such as 2x4 (0.6m x 1.2m) / 2x6 (0.6m x 1.8m) framing materials. 5) When finishing around the faceplate, if material such as brick, stone, etc. extend past the faceplate depth - the minimum opening dimensions noted below must be adhered to, this is to assure removal of the faceplate.

INSTALLATION NAILING STRIPS UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION The Top Standoff/ Nailing Strip, side nailing strips and standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the unit before sliding the unit into position. The nailing strips come attached to the unit. There is 1 plate on each side,1 on the top, and one on the bottom that can be folded out as required. The top and side nailing strips are secured to the framing.
INSTALLATION VENT RESTRICTOR POSITION Vent restriction is required for certain venting installations, see the diagrams in the "Venting Arrangements" section to determine if they are required for your installation. The Vent Restrictor plate is located on the inside top of the firebox. To set the vent restriction as indicated in the venting arrangements diagrams, refer to the following instructions; 1) Remove the glass door. 2) Remove the screws that hold the vent restrictor plate in place.
INSTALLATION EXTERIOR FLUE TERMINATION LOCATIONS Minimum clearances required for balanced flue terminals or the flue terminals of outdoor appliances according to AS5601-2004 (AGA gas installation code) or NZS 5262 (New Zealand) and local authorities having jurisdiction.
INSTALLATION VENTING ARRANGEMENTS HORIZONTAL TERMINATION (FLEX) Regency® Direct Vent System These venting systems, in combination with the Gem54, have been tested and listed as a direct vent system by AGA.

INSTALLATION 7) Ensure that the pipe clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 3). Install the termination cap. UNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Note: If installing termination on a vinyl siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.
INSTALLATION UNIT INSTALLATION WITH VERTICAL TERMINATION (Rigid Vent Systems) Note: A clearance of 2"(51mm) must be maintained; except when passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble reduces the required clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We recommend framing a 11"(279mm) x 11"(279mm) (inside dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity for mounting the termination.
INSTALLATION UNIT INSTALLATION (With Horizontal Termination Flex System) Note: A top clearance of 3"(76mm) and side & bottom clearance of 2"(51mm) must be maintained; except when passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble reduces the required clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm).
