Important Points
• The most important question to ask when locating your fireplace is, “Can it be effectively vented?” The
Element4 fireplaces are approved as “direct vent” appliances. This means that all of the air for combustion
comes directly from the outside and all of the flue gases are discharged directly to the outside by way of
co-axial 5” x 8” direct vent pipe.
• The venting can run vertically, horizontally or a combination of both. For example, it can be installed
near and vented through an exterior wall. Or it can be installed near the center of your home and vented
through the roof. In any case, the installation manual details the allowable configurations, distances and
clearances. If the venting falls outside of the vent graphs, a power vent is available.
• The next question to ask is, “Can I get my gas pipe to the fireplace?” The Element4 fireplaces burn either
natural gas (NG) or propane gas (LP.) Your sales representative will ask you for your requirement at the
time of order and your gas professional (usually your plumber) can advise you on the most effective
route for the gas supply within your home.
• In order to keep the look as contemporary as possible the fireplace controls are mounted away from the
fireplace but within a radius of approximately 50” (1250 mm) from center of the fireplace (on most mod-
els). These controls are attached to the frame behind an access door (included) which measures 8 3/8”
(213 mm) by 11 1/4” (285 mm) overall. This access door is then mounted in your wall lower than the level
of the fireplace opening, outside the combustible zone, or insulated from the heat of the fireplace. Your
design must take this access door into consideration.
• This sheet is not intended to replace the Element4 Installation Manual. In all cases, the information and
instructions in the Element4 Installation Manual must be followed. The Element4 Installation Manual is
included with your fireplace and is available at www.europeanhome.com Please call us if you have any
questions or are uncertain about any aspect of your installation!
