Measure the distance from the fireplace floor to the ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roof line.

NoTE: You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using 45° elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90° elbows maximum or a combination
of 90° and 45° elbows up to a maximum of 70°.

For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and elbows will be required.

You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. Refer to Installing Vent System in a Chase below. If pipe is enclosed in chase, it is not exposed.

It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.

INSTaLLING a VENT SySTEM IN aN ouTSIDE ChaSE

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase is required for such venting.

waRNING

Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. you must follow all local building codes.

NoTICE

when installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials.

waRNING

always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3″ at the top and 1″ at the sides and bottom of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall. a 1″ minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.

Noncombustible walls: Hole opening should be 7Zx” (190 mm) in diameter.
. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have special twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor with pipe seams oriented towards the wall or floor.
Twist-lock Procedure: The female ends of the pipes and fittings have three locking lugs (indentations). These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on the male end of adjacent pipes and fittings. Push the pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are fully locked. Figure 19
3. Attach vent pipe assembly to the fireplace. Set fireplace in front of its permanent location to insure minimum clearances. Mark the wall for a 11Zx”H x 9Zx”W (9 x 41 mm) rectangle hole (for noncombustible material such as masonry block or concrete, a 7Zx” [190 mm] diameter hole is acceptable). Figure 18. The center of the hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal rigid vent pipe end. Be sure to allow for minimum rise. Cut a 11Zx”x9Zx” rectangle hole through combustible exterior wall (7Zx” diameter hole if noncombustible). Frame as necessary. Allow 1/4″ minimum rise per foot. Figure 18

When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 1″ above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7″ (178 mm) below grade level. The 7″ (178 mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.

Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area.

If installing a snorkel, a minimum 4″ vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 4″ vertical pipe is 36″. This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. Refer to the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 4″.

1. Establish vent hole through the wall. Refer to Page 18, Figure 18

. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16″ below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 1″ of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately 4″ below snorkel. Figure 29

3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall.
5. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the wall.
6. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4″ clearance below snorkel. Figure 29

1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. Refer to Figure 33 to avoid cutting load bearing members.
NoTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. Offsets must fall within the parameters shown on Page 20, Figure 23.
. Set fireplace in desired location. Drop a line plumb down from the ceiling to the position of the flue exit. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole a this point.

FLaT CEILING INSTaLLaTIoN
1. Cut a 9Zx” (41 mm) square hole in the ceiling using the locating hole as a center point The opening should be framed to 9Zx” x 9Zx” (41 x 41 mm) inside dimensions as shown in Figure 34 using framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joist. If the area above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. Figure 34. Otherwise, install firestop below the framed hole.
. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the burner system flue up through the firestop. Be sure pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked. Page 18, Figure 19
3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof). The 9Zx” x 9Zx” (41 x 41 mm) hole must be measured on the horizontal. Actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof.

NoTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. use wall straps for this purpose. Refer to Page 23, Figure 31. whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air.
5. Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing. There must be a 1″ clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements.
NoTE: you must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.
NoTE: If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the first floor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. you may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure to meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the required clearance spaces with insulation.

a qualified installer or service person must connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.

INSTaLLaTIoN ITEMS NEEDED

Before installing fireplace and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.

· External regulator

· Piping (check local codes)

· Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

(supplied by installer)

· Test gauge connection*

· Sediment trap (recommended)

· Equipment shutoff valve*

· Tee joint

· Pipe wrench

· approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes — not provided)

• A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8″ NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

For propane/LP connections the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 36. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 37. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into the burner system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.
