Access Panel
An access panel is not required (see notes below for exception), but it is highly recommended . It allows for access to the fireplace’s
gas and electrical components for servicing.
NOTE: An access panel, or some other form of clear access, is required for power vented fireplaces. For servicing
purposes, the power vent control box (located at the fireplace) must be easily accessible in a way that does not require
removal of the fireplace glass.
Access Panel Size and Location Recommendations:

Minimum of 10 inches x 10 inches in size
 Located within 36 inches of the pilot to the side or back of the fireplace (see “Routing the Gas Line”)
The size and location of the access panel may vary, but in all cases, it must allow the technician to comfortably access and service
the fireplace’s gas and electrical components. These components are attached to the pilot on a flexible gas line and can be moved
within 36 inches of the pilot (located at the center front of the burner).
For ease of access, move the fireplace’s gas and electrical components as close to the access panel as possible . If there is any
distance between the access panel and the gas and electrical components, the access panel size must be increased
accordingly.
Prior to installation, fireplace dealers/installers should work with the owner, builder, project architects and/or interior
designers to determine the best size and location of their access panel.
If an access panel cannot be incorporated, the alternative method of servicing the gas and electrical components is though the
fireplace. This procedure requires removing the glass panel(s) and interior design media, and lifting the grill, burner, and bottom
pressure release valve. This will increase service time and difficulty. An access panel is always preferred. Fireplace dealers/installers
are advised to consult with their clients regarding the advantages and disadvantages of each service option.
NOTE: If local code requires an access panel, defer to local code requirements.
Chase Area Minimum
To ensure the convective heat within the chase passively moves to the heat release at an optimal rate, all parts of the interior of the
chase must at least the same size as the fireplace heat release (see “Heat Release” section to determine your model’s required heat
release size) at size at any given point. To determine if your chase meets this requirement, use the following equation at the narrowest
part of the chase.
Chase Area = (Chase Length x Chase Depth) – (Area of the Pipe)
Area of the Pipe:
4”x6” venting = 28.27 in
2
5”x8” venting = 50.27 in 2
3”x5” venting* = 19.63 in

*Used for Power Venting only
Fireplace Chase (Top View)
If the heat release is split into 25/75 portions due to an oversized ledge, the
chase only needs to be the size of 75% of the heat release because 25% of the
heat is already being released at the ledge (see “Ledge Detail” section below
for details).
