This fireplace and its components are safe when installed in
accordance with this manual.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
•
Gas supply piping – right side entrance -
See page 10.
•
Electrical supply and connections 120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp,
right side entrance -
See page 10.
•
Allowable fireplace mounting surfaces:
1.
A hard, flat, combustible or non-combustible surface
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible
material.
3.
The four corners of the fireplace on non-combustible
material – such as cinder blocks (where allowed by local
codes) – so that contact is made on all four perimeter
edges on the bottom of the fireplace.
•
If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, install a metal
or wood panel underneath extending the full width and depth
of the fireplace.
•
This fireplace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance
enclosure. Combustible material can come in contact with
the side standoff spacers, and the fireplace can be secured
to combustible framing with the framing brackets provided.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Determine where the fireplace will be located and what
accessories will be installed.
Your location must allow for:
•
Venting – either vertical or horizontal.
•
Choose a vent configuration.
See pages 34-36
and make
sure the required access through attics and walls is not
blocked by other utilities such as water lines, sewer vents,
gas lines, etc. If access is blocked, move the utilities or
relocate the fireplace.
•
Gas supply piping (right side entrance) -
See pipe size and
specs on page 17.
•
Electrical supply requirements (120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) - right
side entrance -
See page 10.
•
Proper framing required for fireplace installation.

Finishing the fireplace – drywall thickness, tile or stone
thickness, and desired decorative accessories can affect
how you frame the openings and how you attach the nailing
flanges to set the proper depth.
See pages 23 - 24
for
finishing details, before you begin.
