ODYSSEY SERIES FIREPLACE WITH GAS LOG SET
13. Install the Roof Flashing
If a roof flashing is to be used, install the roof flashing
appropriate to the roof pitch and install a round
termination cap following the instructions shipped with
the cap.
For chase installations you can use a round termination
cap (TR344), a round telescoping termination cap
(TR342), or a square termination cap (ST375, TS345,
TS345P). A chase installation must use a chase top.
Chase tops are available from you Heatilator distributor.
See page 19 for building a chase.
14. Install the Chimney Air Kit
When installing a CAK4A chimney air kit, follow the
instructions provided with this accessory. Use of a CAK4A
is required in Canada.
15. Install an Outside Combustion Air Kit
The outside air damper assembly is factory installed on
the left hand side of the fireplace assembly. While its use
is optional, it is highly recommended to minimize the
effects of negative pressure within the structure. Figure 17
illustrates two of many possible methods that can be
used to supply outside air to the fireplace system. To
complete the outside air system, install the outside air
kit according to the installation instructions supplied with
the components. To operate the air kit damper, move the
handle left to open, right to close.

17. Install the Firescreen
Attach the firescreen to the fireplace side, using the two
hairpin clips from the enclosed fastener package. Use
pliers to insert the clip through the last strand of screen
wire and into the hole at the midpoint of the fireplace
side.
18. Install the Glass Doors
If desired, or required by local building codes, install the
glass doors using the instructions supplied with the
particular set of doors you have chosen.
19. Position the Hearth Extension
Position and secure the hearth extension over the
protective metal strips that have been placed partially
under the front of the fireplace. See Figure 18. These
strips should be protruding approximately two inches
from under the front of the fireplace. Seal the crack
between the hearth extension and fireplace with a
noncombustible sealant.
20. Applying Finishing Materials on the Hearth
Extension
Apply the noncombustible finishing material of your
choice to the hearth extension.
Do not install combustible
materials over the black face of the fireplace. This
poses a safety hazard and may start a fire.
You may
only use noncombustible material over the black face of
the fireplace. Refer to Page 10 for combustible material
information.
CAUTION:
When using a gas log set, the fireplace damper must
be set in the fully open position. This ensures a proper
venting of combustion products.

Positioning the Hearth Extension
16. Complete the Fireplace Enclosure
Complete the fireplace enclosure, allowing space for
outside air ducts and gas piping if desired. Electrical wiring
should not come in contact with the fireplace.
A minimum
clearance of ¾ must be maintained between the
fireplace sides and the enclosure as well as the fireplace
back and the enclosure.
See Section D for framing details.
Note:
The outside air kit can terminate at any level with the
exception that it must terminate at least three feet below
the chimney termination cap as shown in Figure 17.
