ME150 - Installation and Operation Manual
7. The opening must be at least 24" (610 mm) away from any wall at a right angle with the appliance’s
face (see figure in section 4: Fireplace Finish ).
8. Place the appliance in the desired location. It must directly abut against the finished wall and not
insulation or a vapor barrier. Do not add any insulation.
9. The standards in your area may require an outside air inlet. Even if such is not the case, it is beneficial
to do so since this will improve the fireplace’s performance. Install a flexible air duct that is 4” (102mm)
in diameter and a maximum length of 20’ (6.1 m). If a longer duct is required, increase diameter to 6”
(152 mm) but maximum length will then be 40’ (12.2 m). The outside air intake must not come from a
garage, carport, basement, attic or the chimney’s enclosure.
10. Install the outside air inlet in a place where it is unlikely to become blocked by snow and is sheltered
from high winds. Make sure it is far from the gas meter or any other device that may emit fumes or
gases, such as automobile exhaust.
11. Once you have decided on the location of the outside air inlet, drill a 4¼" (108 mm) hole in the wall.
Insert the inlet grill in the hole from the outside and screw it to the wall with four 1" (25 mm) screws.
12. From the inside, insert the insulated flexible duct and attach it to the inlet grill with aluminum duct
tape or 3/4" (19 mm) metal screws.
13. On the lower left side of the fireplace, remove the metal piece blocking the air intake. Cut the
insulating wool, insert the adaptor included with the fireplace and screw it in place using two 3/4" (19
mm) metal screws. Using an adjustable collar or aluminum duct tape, attach the flexible duct to the
adaptor.
You can also install a decorative gas appliance in the hearth. To do this, install an automatic shut-off valve.
Comply with ANSI Z223.60 standards governing “Decorative Gas Appliances” in vented fireplaces and ANSI
Z233.1 with regards to the National Gas Code as well as the Natural gas and propane installation code
(CAN/CGA B149.1) or Propane Installation Code (CAN/CGA B149.2).
ATTENTION: ALWAYS OPEN THE CHIMNEY DAMPER TO ITS MAXIMUM POSITION WHEN USING A
DECORATIVE GAS APPLIANCE AND MAKE SURE IT REMAINS IN AN OPEN POSITION.
THIS FIREPLACE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG APPLIANCE. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL A GAS LOG APPLIANCE WITHOUT
A VENT PIPE.
