VENTING INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Continued
Figure 29 - Vertical Rigid Venting
Configuration With No Horizontal Run
Vertical Venting
V = 40' max.
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC direct-vent fireplace
has been tested and approved for elevations from
0-2,000 feet and certified for elevations from
0-5,000 feet.
Fireplaces for High Altitude (models ending in
HA) are for installation above 4,000 feet only.
These fireplaces are equipped with parts specific
for higher altitudes.
IMPORTANT
:
These fire
-
places can NOT be converted to propane/LP gas.
When installing a non-high altitude fireplace at
an elevation above 2,000 feet, you may need to
decrease the input rating by changing the existing
burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4%
for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Check with
your local gas company for proper orifice size
identification.
Consult with your local gas company to help de-
termine the proper orifice size and identification
for your location.
Components and parts must be ordered by part
number through your local dealer or distributor.
IMPORTANT:
For horizontal installations
above 2,000 feet, it is recommended that a 12"
extension pipe be added before starter elbow
(see Figure 30).
