Built-In Fireplace Installation

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing the fireplace 

into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of the fireplace 

flush with a wall or the front of the fireplace window flush with a 

wall. 
Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown in 

Figure 22

 for a 

conventional rough opening. Use

 Figure 23 

for an elevated instal-

lation. Be sure to provide support to the bottom of the fireplace. 

Use dimensions shown in 

Figure 24

 for corner rough opening. 

Be sure to provide gas line for fireplace and electrical power for 

optional light assembly. Refer to Junction Box Wiring section on 

pages 10 and 11 for details on electrical requirements.

1.  Verify gas and electrical lines are ready for fireplace installa

-

tion. See "Gas Supply" page 12. See "Junction Box" pages 10 

and 11. If no electrical power is to be used, place a solid cover 

(provided) over the junction box opening. See Junction Box 

Wiring section in this manual.

2.  Insert fireplace into enclosure. 

3.  Level firebox. 

4.  Secure three middle mounting brackets with drywall screws to 

the framed opening above the fireplace as shown in 

Figures 

21 to 23.

 The brackets should be installed to support the ends 

of the non-combustible board. Note: The drywall screws are 

located in the instruction envelope packet. Secure the left and 

right  framing  standoffs  to  the  side  framing  as  shown  in  fig

-

ure 21. Secure fireplace on left and right through side framing 

brackets.

5a.  To install the fireplace cabinet face flush with the wall-board, 

secure the framing brackets at the top and sides of the fire

-

place with a 1/2" setback. This allows you to use the supplied 

non-combustible board above the fireplace. Note: This type of 

installation will allow you to apply tile, marble, stone or other 

non-combustible material over the face of the fireplace cabi

-

net, up to the flange opening. 

See Figure 19b. 

Note: Decora-

tive fronts do not cover the entire face of the unit.

5b.  To  install  the  fireplace  so  that  non-combustible  board  is  in

-

stalled over the fireplace cabinet face (up to the opening win

-

dow), secure the top and side framing brackets flush with the 

face of the fireplace cabinet. Note: With this option additional 

non-combustible materials will be needed to extend over the 

face of the fireplace cabinet, above and beside the flanged 

opening. Non-combustible board has been sent with the unit. 

Attach these pieces to the face of the unit with high tempera-

ture silicone adhesive or with screws. If putting screws into the 

face of the unit, avoid the area around the outer glass.  

See 

Figure 19a.

Notice for Finishing Materials

The wall above the fireplace will become hot. Install the non-

combustible  board  supplied  with  the  fireplace  before  adding 

paint, tile or stone. Attach tile or other non-combustible products 

to the fireplace face and to the non-combustible area (Figures 

22 and 23) using adhesives designed for high-temperature ap-

plications. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application 

and curing times. Heat from the firplace may cause incorrectly 

installed materials to fail. If you are painting above the fireplace, 

use a coating designed for high temperature environments and 

follow the manufacturer's instructions for surface prep, applica-

tion and curing. Heat from the fireplace may cause incorrectly 

applied coatings to fail or discolor.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

6.  Check gas lines for leaks.

7.  For VFLL(38,48)FP90 plug power adapter to junction box.

8.  Place batteries in receiver boxes and remotes using instruc-

tions provided. Verify remotes are communicating with receiv-

ers.

9.  Install optional liners using their instructions.

10a. For VFLL(38,48)FP30 fireplaces: Connect the remote receiv

-

er to the valve as indicated in the instructions included with 

the remote and receiver. Light the pilot (see page 22) and 

turn the valve to the "ON" position. Set "Hi" or "Lo" for flame 

height as desired. The fireplace will not light the burner until 

the remote's "ON" button is pressed.

10b. For  VFLL(38,48)FP90  fireplaces,  set  receiver  for  "remote". 

See page 29. Set switch on side of heat shield to standing 

pilot or intermediate pilot.

 See Figure 65. 

Verify that the heat 

shield is back in place.

 See Figure 10.

11.  Replace burner cover. 

See Figure 10.

12.  Retrieve shorter glass and install in front of burner.

fireplace. 

See Figures 32 - 35.

instructions included with the surround panel kit.

17.  Test fireplace using remote and show owner how to use the
