Horizontal (Side Wall) Venting

This kit uses Town and Country direct vent pipe with a 8″ inner pipe and an 11″ outer pipe. For part numbers see the table of venting components on page 12 & 13 of this manual.

TO PAINT TERMINAL
THIS TERMINAL MUST BE PAINTED AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION.
THE PAINT USED SHOULD BE CERTIFIED TO WITHSTAND TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 225 F. (157 C).
WHEN PAINTING IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE INLET AND OUTLET VENTS BE BLOCKED TO PREVENT PAINT BEING ACCIDENTALLY SPRAYED ON THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THIS TERMINAL.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT INLET AND OUTLETS OF THIS TERMINATION ARE CLEAR PRIOR TO OPERATING THE FIREPLACE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION THAT MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

1. Locate the power vent termination following the clearance to combustible table, venting configuration diagram (Figure 1) and terminal location diagram (Figure 3).

2. Cut and frame a 14″ x 14″ opening. The centre of the square hole should line up with the centre line of the horizontal pipe.

3. Install the Town and Country firestop in the opening to retain any insulation in the wall and maintain proper clearances. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material only (i.e. Masonry block or concrete) the wall thimble is not required and a hole with zero clearance is acceptable. (11″ hole)

4. Attach the terminal to the outside wall. Ensure that the terminal is the right way up and that only the outer flanges that are used to secure the terminal to the building are covered by the exterior wall or siding (Figure 4). Note: No other part of the terminal can be recessed into the exterior wall or siding.

5. Attach the vent adapter directly to the appliance with three screws and seal outer pipe with aluminium tape provided. Note: The inner pipe does not need to be sealed

6. Connect the high temperature silicone tube to the vacuum pressure tap
   on the adaptor, secure with the hose clamp provided and route the tube through any hole back to control box (Figure 5). Tube may touch unit and be trimmed if required.
   Note: Ensure that there are no blockages in this tube, as this will cause the control to malfunction.

7. Run the required pipe from the adaptor to the terminal assembly.

Wiring Diagram

Control System Connection

The gas control system is located on the right hand side of the firebox behind an access panel and the decorative firebox panel (if installed). The fireplace is operated via a wall control and a hand held remote control unit.
The wall control is connected to the fireplace by a 40 ft. communication cable supplied with the fireplace.

Installation

1. Place the fireplace in the desired location.

2. Remove the window from the fireplace.

3. Remove access panel from right hand side of the firebox (Figure 6).

4. Connect 110 V. AC electrical supply to the wires installed inside the junction box (Figure 7).
   The fireplace is rated at 110 volts, 60Hz, 0.25A. The optional power vent kit is rated at 115 volts, 60Hz, 1.8A.
   The electrical wires can be accessed from both inside and outside the junction box by removing one of the two small access panels (Figure 7) & (Figure 8).
   

5. Connect the gas supply to the valve (Figure 8).

6. Attach one end of the wall switch control cable to the wall control. (not shown), and the other end to the interface board (Figure 8).

7. If not already installed, install the burner using the instructions supplied with the burner kit.

8. Turn on the gas supply and check that all connections are tight and leak free.

Pressure Switch Installation

Attach the silicone tube from the upper pressure tap on the power vent adaptor (Figure 5) to the “low” port of the pressure switch. (Figure 9).

Figure 9: Switch sides.

Selecting Natural Vent & Power Vent Modes

The NV / PV (Natural Vent / Power Vent) switch (Figure 10) on the interface board (Figure 8) is set according to which type of evacuating vent system is present. If the fireplace is vented without the assistance of a power vent, the switch should be set to “NV”. If using a power vent, “PV” should be selected.

Important Note:
When switching between NV and PV, both the electrical power supply to the fireplace must be turned off and the backup batteries removed to properly re- set the module.
