Pre-installation Questions and Answers
About curing of the paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone
stove paint. This paint dries quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at
the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the
paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used. The
following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully
hard and durable.
Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5
minute cool down between each. Be aware during log and firebox paint curing
that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is
important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors using a fireplace
glass cleaner.
- Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.
- Ventilate well, open doors and windows.
- Do not touch during curing.
Why does my fireplace or stove give off odor?
It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odor at first. This is due to
the curing of the paint, adhesives, silicones and any undetected oil from the
manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the
installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product
to the walls can react with heat and cause odors).
It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of
four hours at a time with the fan off (if a fan is present) after the curing
of the paint has been completed. These odors can last upward to 40 hours of
burn time; keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odors
dissipate.
Noise coming from the fireplace?
Noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of metal as the appliance
heats up and cools down. This is normal and is similar to the sounds produced
by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of your fireplace.
It is also normal for the fan to make some noise when it comes on. This noise
can be reduced somewhat by turning down the speed of the fan with the variable
speed control. Be aware, however, that this will reduce the volume of heated
air circulated into the room by the fan.
Note to the Installer:
Be sure appliance is working properly and its operation (including remote
control operation, if included) is fully explained to and understood by the
customer.
Operations and Maintenance Instructions
For safe installation and operation note the following:
- Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.
- Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.
- Check for gas leaks.
- Make sure the glass door is properly installed before operation. Never operate the appliance with the glass door removed.
- Make sure venting and termination cap are installed and unobstructed.
- If brick or porcelain liners are used, ensure they are installed.
- Verify that the pilot can be seen when lighting the appliance. If not, the log or rock placement is incorrect.
- If the unit is turned off, you must wait a minimum of 60 seconds before re-lighting it.
- Venting systems should be periodically examined by a qualified agency.
- The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
- The Burner/Log Assembly has been engineered and permanently adjusted for proper flame control.
- Periodically remove the logs from the grate assembly and vacuum any loose particles from the grate and burner areas. See Log Placement page to remove logs. Vacuum burner parts and replace logs.
- Never use your gas fireplace as a cooking device.
- Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
- Areas in and around the Chase Vent Openings should be cleaned annually.

manufacturer’s installation instructions and the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the current
Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites,
and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A, and with CAN/CSA Z240 MH Mobile Home Standard
in Canada.
THE VENTED GAS FIREPLACE HEATERS (ANSI Z21.88) IN THIS MANUAL MAY BE INSTALLED
IN MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOMES AFTER FIRST SALE IN THE USA.
THE VENTED GAS FIREPLACE HEATERS (ANSI Z21.88) IN THIS MANUAL MAY BE INSTALLED
IN MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOMES IN CANADA.
Please follow the current ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code in the USA and
CAN/CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code in Canada.
An appliance must be grounded to the steel chassis of the home with 8 ga.
copper wire using a serrated or star washer to penetrate paint or protective
coating to insure grounding. Use carriage bolt at the attachment point (see
diagram above) to secure the appliance to the floor.
Warning: Do not compromise the structural integrity of the manufactured
home wall, floor or ceiling, during installation of appliance or venting. For
required venting components see venting installation in appropriate section of
this manual. Certified for installation in a bedroom or bed/sitting room. In
Canada must be installed with listed millivolt thermostat. In USA see local
codes.
Framing Your Gas Fireplace
This section is intended for qualified installers only. Before beginning, make
note of where the gas and electrical accesses are located on the unit. This
will streamline the construction process. Furthermore, familiarize yourself
with the venting and clearance requirements (see Venting section) for this
appliance. Failure to comply with those requirements can seriously compromise
the safety and operation of the fireplace.
Specifications
- Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fireplace against non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall & vapor barrier must be installed over insulation to prevent contact of insulation and unit.
- Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace framing dimensions specified (view diagrams).
- Drywall or other combustible material can extend up to the Drywall Stops located on the sides of the unit, and up to the bottom and top.
- A Hearth is not required for this unit.
Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or
14 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend that the chase be insulated and where the
vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an
insulated Mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of the vent and
help the appliance to vent properly in cold weather conditions.
It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the
appliance be operated daily during the winter months as this will help stop
the termination from freezing up. We recommend using a set at room temperature
to allow the unit to cycle.
For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode
to maintain heat in the cavity. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent
cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space.
Therefore, when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is
able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making it easier to startup.
Certified for installation in a bedroom or bedsitting room. In Canada must be
installed with listed millivolt thermostat. In USA see local codes.
Stand-off and Nailing Tab Locations
Make note of where the stand-off locations are. These stand-offs are provided
as indicators to illustrate the boundaries for framing. Therefore, no framing
material is permitted to extend beyond these stand-offs.

Enclave Series 48/60/72 -Door and Glass Information-
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup,
condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass, and causes
dust, lint etc. to cling to the glass surface.
Also, initial paint curing can deposit a slight film on the glass. It is
therefore recommended that initially the glass be cleaned two or three times
with a fireplace glass cleaner. After that, the glass should be cleaned two or
three times a season depending on the circumstances.
⚠ Cautions and Warnings
- Do not clean when the glass is hot.
- The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties (see Glass Replacement in this section).
- Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
- Do not operate this fireplace without the glass front or with a broken glass front.
- Do not strike or abuse the glass.
Glass Replacement – Firebox
Only Robax ceramic or coated Neoceram glass may be used for replacement for
all Enclave Models. Glass must be minimum 5mm thick. Be sure to purchase glass

applicable). Defective valve magnet.| Check pilot flame. Must impinge on
generator and thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame
impingement on generator and thermocouple. Replace thermocouple if pilot will
not hold. (Hand tight 1/8 turn on replacement) Replace valve, if pilot won’t
hold after the thermocouple is replaced.
Pilot burning, no gas to burner, valve knob “ON”, and wall switch “ON”.| Wall
switch or wires defective.
Generator may not be generating sufficient voltage.
Plugged burner orifice. Defective automatic valve operator.| Check wall switch
and wires for proper connections. Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch.
If burner comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires,
across wall switch wires at valve. If
burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad. Check generator with
millivolt meter. Take reading at generator terminals of gas valve. Should read
325 millivolts minimum while holding valve knob depressed in pilot position
and wall switch “off” Replace faulty generator if reading is below specified
minimum. Check burner orifice for stoppage and remove.
Remove wall switch wires from gas valve. Install jumper wires from top bottom
terminals of gas valve. Turn valve on “ON”. If main burner does not light,
replace valve.
Frequent pilot outage problem.| Pilot flame may be too low or blowing (high)
causing the pilot safety to drop out.| Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for
maximum flame impingement on generator and thermocouple.
*See NOTE below – Seven Day Timer
Flame lifts off burner and goes out in less than 30 seconds.| Inner 4” liner
has come off flue or termination, flame is starving for oxygen.| Attach 4″
liner to flue or termination using screws, silicone and clamps as stated in
manual.
Flame lifts off burner on one side while the rest of the flame remains lit.|
Improper installation of firebrick. Firebrick is likely leaning.| Be sure to
position firebrick against firebox walls and be sure to use brick clips
attached to the inner side of firebox.
*NOTE: The pilot system for this appliance may be equipped with a Seven
Day Timer, in which case the pilot flame will be extinguished if the main

Low battery power detection
When the Remote Control’s batteries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the
LCD display before all power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this
icon will disappear.
Battery backup
The PF2 module is powered by line voltage (AC) with provision of battery
backup in case of main power loss. Fans and lighting features will not
function with the PF2 module is powered by battery backup. It is recommended
that the 4 x AA batteries are changed before each heating season.
Proflame 2 IPI – Cold Climates – CPI Setting – Proflame 2 Remote Control
Use the CPI setting during cold weather, otherwise the fireplace may have a hard time starting up and establishing a flame. The CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) setting will keep the firebox and fireplaceexhaust vent warm during cold weather. When the firebox and exhaust vent are warm, exhaust gasses will readily flow out of the firebox.
If the firebox and
venting are too cold, there is resistance due to the heavy cushion of cold
air, and combustion gasses may not rise into the exhaust vent, thus causing
the fireplace to cycle or Lockout (if this happens see Lockout Reset
Procedures below).
NOTE: The pilot system for this appliance may be equipped with a Seven Day
Timer, in which case the pilot flame will be extinguished if the main burner
has not been turned ON for seven days. This Seven Day Cycle is reset every
time the main burner is cycled ON / OFF and the pilot remains lit. If more
than seven days has passed since the main burner has been cycled ON / OFF and
the pilot is also out, follow the procedures described in this manual to light
the pilot.
To switch from IPI to CPI Mode:
Lockout Reset Procedures – Proflame 2
If the fireplace has cycled too many times in a short period of time, it will
shut down and become unresponsive to any new command.
The LED light on the Proflame 2 module in the fireplace will be flashing red.
This condition is a Lockout state.
Lockout Reset Procedure:
- Disconnect power from the Proflame 2 module in the fireplace for 10 seconds. This includes removing the backup batteries.
- Once the 10 second interval has passed, reconnect power and reinstall backup batteries. The pilot should now try to light.
- If the fireplace does not come on, call your fireplace technician.

General Vent Installation Information
⚠ WARNING : DO NOT mix parts from different systems unless stated in the manual.
This gas appliance is approved to be vented either through the side wall or vertically through the roof. Only Kingsman Flex (Z-Flex) Venting Kits and components specifically approved and LABELED for this appliance may be used. This appliance is also approved for use with 5 x 8 MG-Duravent Direct Vent system (DirectVent Pro and DirectVent Pro Concentric Flex), BDM Pro Form Direct Vent, Ameri-Vent Direct Vent Pipe System, ICC Excel Direct, Metal Fab Sure-Seal DV and Selkirk Direct Temp.
Rigid or Hard Pipe
When using 5 x 8 MG-Duravent, Ameri-Vent pipe, BDM Pro Form Direct Vent, ICC
Excel Direct, Metal Fab SureSeal DV and or Selkirk Direct Temp, 5 x 8 MG
Duravent hard pipe, Adapter # Z58DFA must be used on units with a sloped flue.
Follow installation instructions provided by MG-Duravent/Ameri-Vent/Selkirk
Direct Temp, ICC Excel Direct, and Metal Fab Sure-Seal DV for installation of
pipe and adhere to the clearance to combustibles provided in this manual.
Apply a bead of Mill Pac high temp sealant at the flue of the appliance when
using a Duravent adapter.
NOTE : It is critical to the proper and safe operation of this fireplace
that on all connections the inner liner and the outer casing are both caulked
with liberal amounts of sealant. Do not use any kind of tape or silicone other
than that recommended in this manual. Use Mill Pac Sealant.
NOTE : These actions are essential for proper resealing or reinstallation
of the vent-air intake system.
Flex Pipe Venting
Kingsman Flex pipe is shipped in unexpanded length.
When installing pipe expand the lengths. Pipe can be expanded to twice their
lengths e.g., 4ft to 8ft. Fully expand pipe and cut off excess.
Do not use more than 2 couplers (Order ZDV5FC & ZDV8FC – DO NOT fabricate
couplers) to extend short pipes. Single sections are preferred in an
installation attaching at the fireplace and termination.
Place the spring spaces provided approximately every two feet to stabilize 5”
flex in the center of 8” flex. When forming bends place spring in bend or
before and after.
(See Fig. 1). Horizontal runs require support metal straps every 2 feet. In
offset installation support straps should be used to stabilize pipe.
Expand 5” and 8” flex pipe to the point that the 8” protrudes approximately 2
to 3 inches past outer wall and the 5” flex protrudes approximately 2 to 3
inches past the 8” flex. (See Fig. 1). Attach the 5” pipe to the termination
first and secure with sealant and screws then attach the 8” flex to the
termination with caulking and screws. Termination may then be moved back to
the outer wall and attached to home screwing into the framing. Silicone around
termination to waterproof. If siding shield is going to be used attach this
using same attaching hole as the top of termination after termination has been
caulked for water proofing.
Use Hi Temp Sealant
Apply a bead of Mill Pac high temp sealant to all joints and use four screws
to secure each pipe at fireplace, termination and any joint if joining any
sections of pipe.
Preventing Moisture Problems
Insulate wall thimbles and attic insulation shields for vertical attic
terminations with non-combustible mineral wool Insulation (Roxul, Rockwool,
Thermafiber UltraBatt, etc.). Attach and seal the outer perimeter of the wall
thimble or attic insulation shield to the existing vapor barrier.
FIGURE 1
MQVL48 / MQVLBG48 Installation of Side Wall Venting
- To determine the minimum distance from the bottom of fireplace to center of vent see the Framing Your Gas Fireplace section. Cut a hole through the wall allowing for a 12” x 12” (inside diameter) in combustible walls for wall thimble or a 9” diameter hole in a non-combustible wall (See Figure 2).
- For the clearance to combustible above a 90-degree bend see Clearance to Combustibles section.
- Select the approximate vent length, precise measurements are not needed as your flex pipe can be expanded to twice its shipped length for ease of installation.
- To install wall thimble center over 12” x 12” (inch) framing from both sides of wall and secure. Route flex vent pipe through wall thimble (See Figure 1).
- Before joining pipes, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Mill Pac) to end of pipe. First attach the five-inch (5”) flue pipe to the vent termination with sealant, and secure with the four screws provided. At this time make sure the spacer springs are attached to the (5”) flex pipe as required. Then attach the eight-inch (8”) pipe by the same method.
- Mount vent termination and seal to wall using caulking around the wall thimble to weather proof. After installing the vent termination, double check to make sure the pipe extends properly through wall thimble and into vent termination.
- Before joining pipes to fireplace flue, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Mill Pac) to end of pipe. First attach the five-inch (5”) flue pipe to fireplace with sealant, and secure with the four screws provided. At this time verify that the spacer springs are attached properly to the (5”) flex pipe as required. Then attach the eight-inch (8”) pipe by the same method.
- Support horizontal pipes every two (2) feet (61 cm) with metal strap bands. Re-check fireplace to make sure it is levelled and properly positioned and secured.
- Support vertical pipes to maintain a minimum of 1” or greater clearance to combustibles with metal strapping bands.
- If finishing the outside wall with vinyl or wood siding it is recommended that a Siding Shield be installed, Part Number ZDVSSLR.
Note: Vent Termination must not be recessed into wall or siding.
WARNING: A HORIZONTAL VENT CERTIFIED GUARD (SAFETY CAGE) IS AVAILABLE WHEN REQUIRED BY LOCAL CODES.
Venting Routes And Components
Venting Routes and Components
Since it is very important that the vent system maintain its balance between
the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to
vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The table showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall
venting will help to determine the various vent lengths.
The maximum horizontal run is 20ft (6.1m) when the vertical rise is 8 ft
(2.4m). See Example A below.
Note: 1/4” vertical rise is required for every 12” of horizontal run.
The maximum number of 45° bends per side wall installation is four (4) in the
horizontal run. You must reduce the length of the horizontal by 18” (45cm) for
each 45° bend.
The maximum vertical run is 43ft (13.1m).
Special Note: For each 45° bend installed in the horizontal run, the length of
the horizontal run must be reduced by 18” (45cm). This does not apply if the
45° bends are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Example: If
according to the table, the length of the horizontal run is 10ft (3m), and two
45° bends are required, the horizontal run length must be reduced to 8ft
(2.4m).
Two (2) additional 90° bends (or the equivalent) are allowed.
The horizontal run must be reduced by 36” (90cm) for each 90° bend, or 18”
(45cm) per each 45° bend.
IMPORTANT:
Always locate the fireplace in such a way that a minimum of offsets and/or
horizontal runs are required. For every 12” (30cm) horizontal run, 1/4” (6mm)
vertical rise is required.
How to Use the Horizontal Vent Table
- Determine the height of the system and the number of bends required.
- Having determined the vertical distance determine the maxi- mum horizontal section allowed.
- Vent table has been established for 90˚ horizontal/vertical runs. Flex pipe runs not having 90˚ bends will not fall into vent table standards. See Example B below.

NOTE: A length of horizontal vent run less than the maximum is acceptable (such as up and out) provided that clearances to combustibles are maintained and proper procedures are followed. 1
NOTE : The final location of the fireplace must be such that the
horizontal vent dimensions fall within those stated in the Horizontal Venting
Table. The Maximum Vertical vent run is 43ft (13.1m).
IMPORTANT: Minimum clearance between vertical vent pipes and combustible
materials is1” (25mm).
Enclave Series VL / VLBG 48 / 60 / 72 Flue Restrictor
The Flue Restrictor is located in the top of the Firebox in front of the Flue
Opening.
For power vent and longer vertically vented installations it may be necessary
to use the Flue Restrictor.
The Flue Restrictor is set fully open from the factory for short horizontal
and vertical runs.
INSIDE TOP OF FIREBOX
The following chart is a rough guideline for setting the flue restrictor
position.
Also refer to these notes:
- If the flame is leaning toward the back of the unit and/or flickering very quickly, the air is likely flowing too fast and should be restricted by one hole position (or possibly more).
- Incremental adjustments of one hole position at a time are best.
- If a Kingsman Z58VT Termination Cap is installed, the restrictor inside it can be used.
- It is not recommended to set the restrictor past the #4 setting in a non-power vented application.
Enclave 48 / 60 / 72 Vertical Venting Restrictor Setting Guideline
Vertical Vent Height (Feet) | Restrictor Setting |
---|---|
15′ | Wide Open |
20′ | Wide Open |
25′ | #1 |
30′ | #2 |
35′ | #3 |
40′ | #4 |
To adjust the Flue
Restrictor, remove DT Screws from the firebox top and install the Flue
Restrictor over the flue, partially blocking it. Replace ALL DT Screws.
INSIDE TOP OF FIREBOX
Venting Straight Up Through Roof
An Attic Insulation Shield must be installed where the vent passes from a
lower living space into an attic space where the chimney is not enclosed. It
is designed to keep insulation materials away from the chimney.
When installing the Attic Insulation Shield where the chimney passes from a
living space to an attic space, install the shield from below and nail in
place using 1″ spiral nails.
A fire stop must be installed on the bottom side of the joists when passing
through a ceiling or floor. If an attic insulation shield is to be used, a
fire stop is not required.
Using Flex Bends
Avoid cutting joists by offsetting the flex pipe.
When using 45° bends a bend support is required directly above the highest
bend.
When installing a bend in a joist area a minimum of 4″ clearance to
combustible to the top of bend must be maintained, sides and bottom of pipe, a
1″ clearance to combustibles must be maintained. If running horizontal through
an area a 1-1/2″ minimum clearance to the top of the horizontal pipe must be
maintained.
Maximum vertical height of system should not exceed 43 feet.
Use roof support and rigid pipe at roof level. Flex pipe is not permitted
within roof support.
When penetrating the roof a rigid galvanized pipe must be used. Attach flex
pipe to the rigid pipe with high temperature sealant, secure with four screws
assuring the flex pipe and rigid pipe are secured. Attach rigid pipe to
termination with sealant and screw with 4 sheet metal screws. The Inner flex
pipe must be secured with 4 screws which must penetrate both the flex pipe and
inner section of termination. Attach 8” rigid pipe to 8” termination with
sealant and screw with 4 sheet metal screws.
Vertical termination clearance is 18″ [45.7cm] above the roof, measured from
highest point of exit on the roof line.
Support vertical pipes to maintain minimum of one inch or greater clearances
to combustibles.
Roof Flashing
Ensure that you have the proper roof flashing by checking your roof pitch
using a level and two rulers, or by using a roof pitch card.
Slide a Roof Flashing suitable to your roof slope over the vent. Place the
edge of the flashing plate that will be on the higher part of the roof slope
under the shingles. Both the sides and the lower edge lay on top of the
shingles.
NOTE: At the top edge of the flashing plate, lift the shingles and nail the
plate to the roof deck, then cement the shingles to the plate with a suitable
waterproof mastic.
Ensure that the chimney is plumb. Square up the flashing plate and nail in
place to the roof deck. Use 12 nails with neoprene washers or cover the heads
with a suitable waterproof mastic. Wrap the storm collar around the vent above
the flashing. Secure the ends together loosely with nut and bolt supplied.
Slide the collar down the vent until it comes in contact with the flashing.
Tighten the bolt and seal the Storm Collar to the vent with a suitable
waterproof non-combustible mastic.
The flashing and storm collar should be painted to match the roof shingles.
This will extend its life and improve the appearance. Clean, prime and paint
with suitable painting products.
Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or
14 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend that the chase be insulated and where the
vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an
insulated Mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of the vent and
help the appliance to vent properly in cold weather conditions.
It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the
appliance be operated daily during the winter months as this will help stop
the termination from freezing up.
We recommend using a thermostat set at room temperature to allow the unit to
cycle.
For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode
to maintain heat in the cavity. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent
cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space.
Therefore, when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is
able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making it easier to start up.
-ALSO SEE DIAGRAMS ON FOLLOWING PAGE-
Enclave Series Venting – Cathedral Ceilings
Just as with a normal ceiling, an Attic Insulation Shield must be installed
where the fireplace vent passes from a lower living space into an attic space
when installing a fireplace into a room with a cathedral ceiling. This will
keep insulation and other combustibles away from the vent pipe. A Support Box
must be built in order to install the Attic Insulation Shield correctly.
A Fire Stop must be installed on the bottom side of joists when passing
through an uninsulated ceiling or floor.
