NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK (MEA)
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS REQUIREMENTS
(Massachusetts Approval #G3-0806-6)
These fireplaces are approved for installation in the US state of Mas-
sachusetts if the following additional requirements are met:
• Install this appliance in accordance with Massachusetts Rules and
Regulations 248 C.M.R. Sec. 5.08 2(a) through 2(e).
• Installation and repair must be done by a plumber or gas fitter licensed
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

centimeters) in length.
• The individual manual shut-off must be a T-handle type valve.
Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, horizontal terminations installed
less than seven (7) feet above the finished grade must comply with the
following additional requirements:
• A hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery
back-up must be installed on the floor level where the gas fireplace
is installed. The carbon monoxide detector must comply with NFPA
720, be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and be ISA certified.
• A metal or plastic identification plate must be permanently mounted to
the exterior of the building at a minimum height of eight (8) feet above
grade and be directly in line with the horizontal termination. The sign
must read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, GAS
VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.
• Must conform with all local, state and national installation codes.
In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition, also known
as NFPA 54 (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA B149.1 installation
code). Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code and local zoning and
code authorities for details on installation requirements.
• Mobile home installations must conform with the Mobile Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (in Canada
CAN/CSA Z240 MH), or, when such a standard is not applicable,
the Standard for Mobile Home Installations, ANSI A225.1 - latest
edition.
• Must be vented directly to the outside in accordance with the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code and must never be attached
to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
• Has been certified for use with either natural gas or propane.
• Is not for use with solid fuels.
• Is approved for sitting rooms and/or bedrooms.
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M), the orifice
should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper
ratio of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing my result in damage and
unsafe conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a quali-
fied service technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for
proper orifice sizes.
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If
your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.
Certification
Gas appliances must be tested and certified by a nationally recognized
testing and certification laboratory to ANSI (American National Standard
Institute) gas appliance safety standards.
This fireplace has been tested and certified by OMNI -Test Laboratories
to ANSI Z21.88 / CSA 2.33 Standard for Vented Gas Fireplace Heater
and CGA 2.17-M91 and UL 307B Gas Burning Heating Appliances for
Manufactured (Mobile) Homes in both USA and Canada.
It has met all necessary ANSI Standards and is fully certified for installa-
tion in any community. If there are any questions or if you need further
substantiation either write to or call your Lennox Hearth Products dealer.
If you have further questions, please contact Lennox Hearth Products.
Check all local building and safety codes before installation. The installation
instructions and appropriate code requirements must be followed exactly
and without compromise. In the absence of local codes the following
standards and codes must be followed.
