11. INSTALLING THE REMOTE HEAT KIT
The Halcyon Remote Heat Kit provides a method by which heat is moved away from the Halcyon Gas Fireplace. This serves
two purposes; to lower the temperature of the wall face above the Halcyon and to provide heat to another part of the room or
building.
The Remote Heat Kit consists of the following pieces:
•
Flexible Insulated Duct
•
(2) 10” x 12” Duct Boxes
•
(2) Duct Collars
NOTE: A grille for each duct box is NOT included and must be provided by the customer. The grille MUST have a minimum open
area of 41%.
PLANNING
The Remote Heat Kit operates passively; it has no fan. This means that your installation must allow for the unobstructed, free flow
of warm air from the Halcyon Gas Fireplace, through the duct and out of the duct boxes. This can be accomplished by ensuring
that:
a. the duct always rises
and
b. the duct is never blocked
and
c. the duct boxes are at the high point (and the Halcyon is at the low point) of the Heat Kit installation.
For best performance, i.e. the lowest wall temperature and most warm air, both Remote Heat ports on the Halcyon Gas Fireplace
must be opened and have ducts properly attached. If only one port is ducted the resulting wall temperature will be higher than if
two ports are ducted.
The Remote Heat Kit components can accommodate several different installation configurations but the following applies to
every installation:
•
When installed, the center of the Remote Heat Kit duct box must be at least 12 inches above the top of the cabinet and
should be in line with the center of the cabinet.
•
The insulated duct can be no longer than 10 feet.
•
At least 30% of the total length of the insulated duct must run vertically.
•
When choosing the duct box finish, do not use a register instead of a grille. If the flow of warm air from the Halcyon Gas
Fireplace is blocked the wall above the Glass Panel Assembly will be subjected to elevated temperatures. The grille MUST
have a minimum open area of 41%.
•
The insulated duct must not terminate in a floor-mounted grille; only wall-mounted grilles are permitted.
•
The top of the duct box must be at least one inch below any ceiling or mantel. See
Figure 30.
•
All ducts must be fixed so as to remain at least 1½” away from any vertical venting component and 6” away from any
horizontal venting component.
•
The ducts must always terminate within the building envelope AND the ducts MUST terminate in an area which allows the
free flow of cool air back to the fireplace front. Do not terminate the ducts in an enclosed room or space.
