NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
Notes:
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
fl exible gas line connector and 1/2 inch shutoff
valve (see
Figure 19
on
Page 12
).
• See
Massachusetts Requirements
on
Page
3
for additional requirements for installations
in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.
• The gas supply line should Not be connected
to the appliance until
Step 7
(
Page 11
).
• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be
used on the threaded joints.
Ensure
propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications. Be very careful that the pipe
compound does not get inside the pipe.
• It is recommended to install a sediment trap
in the supply line as close as possible to the
appliance (see
Figure 19 , Page 12
). Appli-
ances using Propane should have a sediment
trap at the base of the tank.
• Check with local building offi cial for local code
requirements (i.e. are below grade penetrations
of the gas line allowed?, etc).
Step 4. INSTALL VENT SYSTEM
Install the Vent System & Exterior Ter-
mination:
In the United States, vent installation must
conform with local building codes. In the
absence of local codes, vents must be installed
in accordance with the current edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1).
In Canada, vent installation must conform with
local building codes. In the absence of local
codes, vents must be installed in accordance
with the current edition of the National Standard
of Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1 or B149.2 Instal-
lation Code.
This gas fi replace must be vertically vented
using listed 5 in. type-B, double-walled vent
pipe and a listed vent termination.
Slip the fi rst 5 inch (127 mm) section of B-
Vent over the fi replace fl ue outlet and secure
with three (minimum) sheetmetal screws (#
8 or larger), and install the remainder of the
B-Vent to the outside. Minimum overall height
of the vent system and appliance must be 10'
(2.54 m) vertical - no offset
(see Figure 13)
;
or 12' (3.7 m) when an offset up to 60 degrees
from the vertical is used - this offset may start
at the fi replace fl ue collar
(see Figure 14 on
Page 10 ).
The maximum overall height of
the vent system and appliance should not
exceed 40 feet.
Install the B-vent system in accordance with
the vent manufacturer's instructions.

Note:
Refer to the vent manufacturers instal-
lation instructions for variations of venting
techniques. If common venting of several units
is contemplated, it should be discussed with an
architect and the local Building Department.
Do not place insulation materials within 1 in.
of the gas vent system.
CAUTION
This appliance cannot be vented
horizontally.
IMPORTANT
If propane is used, be aware that
if tank size is too small (i.e. under
100-lbs, if this is the only gas
appliance in the dwelling. Ref.
NPFA 58), there may be loss of
pressure, resulting in insuffi cient
fuel delivery (which can result in
sooting, severe delayed ignition or
other malfunctions). Any damage
resulting from an improper instal-
lation, such as this, is not covered
under the limited warranty.

* Note:
The nailing fl anges, combustible mem-
bers and screw heads located in areas directly
adjacent to the nailing fl anges, are EXEMPT from
the 1/2” clearance to combustible requirements
for the fi rebox outer wrapper. Combustible
framing may be in direct contact with the nail-
ing fl anges and may be located closer than 1/2”
from screw heads and the fi rebox wrapper in
areas adjacent to the nailing fl anges. Frame the
opening to the exact dimensionsspecifi ed in the
framing details of this manual.
Fireplace may be anchored to fl oor. Bend down two
anchor tabs (one on each side) located at the base
of the fi replace and secure to the fl oor by nailing
with 8d nails or equivalent (see
Figure 11
)
.
Note:
Some units
only have one
anchor tab on
each side.
