COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your fireplace with noncombustible material and wherever cold air could enter the room. It is especially important to insulate outside chase cavity between studs and under floor on which fireplace rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation.
NOTE: Do not use loose, or blown-in insulation in the cavity surrounding the fireplace.
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised platform can be placed underneath to prevent conduction of cold transferring to the fireplace and into the room. It also helps to seal inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.

Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels
NOTE: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the fireplace front face (black sheet metal). Non-combustible material up to 6 inches in depth, such as surrounds may be positioned in front of or overlapping the fireplace face but they must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel or impede the removal or installation of access door or barrier. Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel (Figure 6). Mantels constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the fireplace opening. However, do not allow anything to hang below the fireplace hood. Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the fireplace.
NOTE: To avoid heat-related finish damage, we recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F or higher) on the underside of the mantel.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
The fireplace is shipped with all gas controls and components installed and pre-wired. Before installing the fireplace, follow these steps:
1. Remove the shipping carton, and retain the front of the carton (used to protect the fireplace during construction).
2. Remove the shipping pad, lower the access door and remove the barrier exposing the front glass door.
3. Remove the glass door (Pages 47 – 49).
NOTE: Place the glass door on the shipping carton to protect its surface. NOTE: Barrier must be removed to remove the door. Barrier must be protected from damage and construction dust and dirt.

3. Route the Gas Supply Line to the Fireplace 1. Route a 1/2″ (13 mm) gas line to the left side of the fireplace (Figure 8). NOTE: Gas lines must be routed, assembled, and made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations. All fireplaces are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line connector and a 1/2″ shutoff valve (Figure 30, Page 39). Figure 8 – Routing the Gas Line – 35″, 40″, 45″ Models
Left side front corner of fireplace framing

3″ (77 mm)

Pipe coupling (recommended)
7-5/8″ (195 mm)

Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed per requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54–latest edition (USA) or CAN/CGA-B149.1–latest edition (Canada). The gas supply line should not be connected to the appliance until step 13. Connect the Gas Line (Page 39).
NOTE: · All fireplaces are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line connector and 1/2″ shutoff valve (Figure 30, Page 39). · See Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements for additional requirements for installations in the state of
Massachusetts in the USA. · A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane-resistant
compounds are used in propane applications. Be very careful that the pipe compound does not get inside the pipe. · A sediment trap in the supply line as close as possible to the fireplace is recommended. · Check with the local building official for local code requirements (e.g., Are below grade penetrations of the gas line allowed?, etc).
CAUTION
If propane is used, be aware that with a tank that is too small (i.e., under 100 lbs, if this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling–see NPFA 58), there may be a loss of pressure. This can result in insufficient fuel delivery that can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or other malfunctions. Any damage resulting from an improper installation is not covered by the limited warranty.

10. Connecting the Vent Pipe

Secure Vent® SV4.5 direct-vent system components are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist lock connections (Figures 14 – 15). All of the fireplaces covered in this document are fitted with collars having locking inclined channels. The dimpled end of the vent components fit over the fireplace/vent collar to create the positive twist lock connection.
1. Align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples are aligned with the inlet of the four (4) inclined channels on the collar (Figures 14 – 15).
2. Push the vent component against the collar until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise, running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

NOTE: The unitized design of the Secure Vent® components will engage and seal both the inner and outer vent pipe.
3. If desired, a #6 x 1/2″ sheet metal screw can be used at the joint, but is not required as the pipe will securely lock when twisted (Figure 15).
Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer with an option to install in tight and confined spaces, or where the vent run made up of fixed length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable location, or will not build up to the required length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section has an effective length of from 1-1/2 to 7″ (38 to 178 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with a locking inclined channel end (identical to a normal vent section component) and a plain end with three (3) pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the locking channel end of a standard SV4.5 vent component the required distance and secure with three (3) screws.

Install the Vertical Termination Vent System
These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any way. Install venting with the most restrictive requirements as outlined in these instructions, local codes, these instructions, the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 in Canada . Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.
Dégagement conforme aux codes d’installation locaux et aux exigences du foumisseunde gaz. Vertical vent systems terminate through the roof. The minimum vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls is specified in ANSI Z223.1 (In Canada, the current CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code) by major building codes. Always consult your local codes for specific requirements. A general guide to follow is the gas vent rule (Table 6, Page 13). The following figures and their associated vertical vent tables illustrate the various configurations that are possible for use with these fireplaces. Secure Vent® pipe is shown in these figures; Secure Flex® pipe may also be used. A table summarizes each configuration’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length parameters for a variety of applications.
1. Refer to Figure 22 and Tables 16 – 19 on Pages 28 – 29 to select the type of vertical installation desired. Elbows are available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer to Figure 16 on Page 23 for the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifications.
Vertical (Straight) Installation

1. Determine the number of straight vent sections required. See Effective Vent Length (Pages 23 – 24) for more information. Plan the vent lengths so that a joint does not occur at the intersection of ceiling or roof joists.

Vertical (Offset) Installation
1. Analyze the vent route and determine the number of vent sections and elbows required. See Effective Vent Length (Pages 23 – 24) for more information. Plan the venting so that a joint does not occur in the ceiling or roof joists. Allow for elbows (Figure 16, Page 23). Maintain clearances to combustibles equal to or greater than minimum specified in these instructions.
2. Frame the ceiling opening. Use a plumb line from the ceiling above the fireplace to locate the center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2 x 10-1/2″ (267 x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about this center mark (Figure 18).

3. Attach the vent components to the fireplace. See Connecting the vent pipe (Page 23). 4. Attach the vent components to each other. See Connecting the vent pipe (Page 23). 5. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling. When using Secure Vent®, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when
using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level, the firestop/ spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the firestop/spacer must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening and secure the firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner. Remember to maintain 1″ (26 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running vertical chimney sections. The gap between the vent pipe and a vertical firestop can be sealed with non-combustible caulking. NOTE: Attic Insulation Shield (H3907) must be installed when blown or loose-fill insulation is used, and is required for all attic installations. 6. Support the vertical vent run sections. Support the vertical portion of the venting system every 8 ft (2.4 m) above the fireplace vent outlet. One method of support is by utilizing field provided support straps (conventional plumber’s tape). Secure the plumber’s tape to the framing members with nails or screws. Loop the tape around the vent, securing the ends of the tape to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2″ length may be used to secure the support straps to the vent pipe (Figure 19). NOTE: Proper venting support is very important.

7. Change vent direction of horizontal/inclined run. Install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as the straight vent sections. See Vent elbows (Page 23) for more information.
8. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections. Continue with the installation of the straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape in a direction away from the fireplace.
Rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to level. For best results, maintain the horizontal/inclined run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane of approximately 1/4″ per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m).
Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 25).
9. Frame the roof opening. Identify the location for the vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening (Table 15).

10. Install the roof flashing. Extend the vent sections through the roof structure. Install the roof flashing over the vent section and position such that the vent column rises vertically (use carpenter’s level). Nail along perimeter to secure flashing or adjust roofing to overlap the flashing edges at top and sides only and trim where necessary. Seal the top and both sides of the flashing with waterproof caulking. The flashing must overlap the roofing material along the bottom.
11. Install the storm collar. Install the storm collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/flashing joint (Figure 20). Loosen the storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets the top of the flashing. Tighten the adjusting screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or mastic around the circumference of the joint to provide a water tight seal.

Figure 20 – Installing the Storm Collar

Figure 21 – Installing the Vertical Termination

Storm Collar

12. Install the vertical termination

The final step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1 vertical termination. Extend the vent sections to the

correct height (Table 6, Page 13). The SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination (Figure 21) installs in the exact same

fashion as any other Secure Vent® section. Align the termination over the end of the previously installed sec-

tion, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples of the termination are aligned with the

inlets of the four (4) incline channels of the last vent section. Push the termination down until it fully engages,

then twist the termination clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at

the end of the channels.

If the vent system extends more than 5 ft (1.5 m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be necessary. Ad-

ditional screws may be used at section joints for added stability. Guide wires or roof support assemblies may

be attached to the joint for additional support on multiple joint configurations.

Install the Horizontal Termination Vent System
These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any way. Install venting with the most restrictive requirements as outlined in these instructions, local codes, the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 in Canada.
Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.
Dégagement conforme aux codes d’installation locaux et aux exigences du foumisseunde gaz.
Horizontal vent systems terminate through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit terminating in specific areas (Table 7, Page 14).
The following figures and their associated horizontal vent tables illustrate the various configurations that are possible for use with these fireplaces. Secure Vent® pipe is shown in these figures; Secure Flex® pipe may also be used. A table summarizes each configuration’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length parameters for a variety of applications. For more information on connecting the vent pipe, see Page 23.
Assure that adequate space between the bottom of the horizontal run and the attic is provided so that blown in insulation does not contact the vent.

1. Analyze the vent route and determine the number of vent sections and elbows required. See Effective Vent Length (Pages 23 – 24) for more information. Plan the venting so that a joint does not occur in the ceiling or roof joists. Allow for elbows (Figure 16, Page 23). Maintain clearances to combustibles equal to or greater than minimum specified in these instructions (Page 25).
2. Frame the exterior wall opening. Locate the center of the vent outlet on the exterior wall (Table 10, Page 18). Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2 x 12-1/8″ (267 x 308 mm) inside dimensions, about this center.
3. Frame the ceiling opening. If the vertical route is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line to locate the center above the fireplace. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2 x 10-1/2″ (267 x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about this center (Figure 18, Page 26).
4. Attach the vent components to the fireplace. See Connecting the vent pipe (Page 23).
5. Attach the vent components to each other. See Connecting the vent pipe (Page 23).

Innovative Hearth Products DRC3000-B Series Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces

Installation 901191-00C, 07/2023

6. Install the firestop/spacer at the ceiling. When using Secure Vent®, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level, the firestop/ spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the firestop/spacer must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening and secure the firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.
Maintain 1″ (26 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running vertical chimney sections. 7. Support the vertical run sections. On the vertical run, support the venting system every 8 ft (2.4 m) above the fireplace vent outlet with field provided support straps (Plumber’s tape). Attach the straps to the vent pipe and secure to the framing members with nails or screws (Figure 19, Page 26). Change vent direction. At transition from or to a horizontal/inclined run, install SV4.5E45 or SV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as the straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist section to allow them to be routed about the center axis of their initial collar section to align with the required direction of the next vent run element. Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction only so as to avoid the possibility of unlocking any of the previously connected vent sections (Figure 16, Page 23). 9. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections. Continue with the installation of the straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape (Figure 23, Page 30). Maintain the horizontal/inclined run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline is approximately 1/4″ per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m) horizontal, in a direction away from the fireplace. Smaller rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant surface and adjust the support straps as necessary. Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 25). 10. Assemble the vent run to the exterior wall. If not previously measured, locate the center of the vent at the exterior wall. Prepare the opening. Assemble the vent system until the terminus of the last section is within 7″ (178 mm) to 11-1/4″ (286 mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which the SV4.5HT termination is to be attached (Figure 24, Page 32). If the terminus of the last section is not within this distance, use the telescopic vent section SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. Table 20, Page 33 lists the additional venting components needed (in addition to the termination and adaptor) for a range of wall thicknesses. 11. Attach the termination adaptor. Attach the adaptor (SV4.5RCH, provided with the termination) to the vent section or telescoping vent section, elbow or fireplace collar (Figure 24, Page 32). 12. Install the firestop/spacer at the exterior wall. When using the square termination, install SV4.5HF (Secure Vent®), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex®) Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior side of the framing, long side up, with the 3″ spacer clearance at the top (Figure 24, Page 32) and nail into place. NOTE: The firestop/spacer may also be installed over the opening at the interior side of the framing. 13. Install the termination. From outside the exterior wall, slide the collars of the termination onto the adaptor until the termination seats against the exterior wall surface to which it will be attached. Orient the housing of the termination with the arrow pointed upwards. Secure the termination to the exterior wall. The horizontal termination must not be recessed into the exterior wall or siding by more than the 1-1/4″ (32 mm) (Figure 25, Page 32). NOTE: If the venting exits the building below grade, or close to grade, see Installation Accessories on Page 55 for available snorkel terminations. The termination must be above grade and above the expected level of snow accumulation. NOTE: The vent termination is hot while in operation and for a period of time following the use of the fireplace. To prevent contact with hot surfaces, use a horizontal termination guard; available for purchase at your local dealer.
The horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including the use of silicone caulking where required.

NOTE: To help minimize water infiltration install the firestop/spacer (SV4.5HF) on the exterior side of the wall. The firestop may be caulked with mill base caulk (such as 10K81) or high-temperature silicone.

Vertical or Horizontal Venting Using Secure Flex® Kits and Components

When Secure Flex® kits are used in a rear flue, horizontal termination installation, at least 1 ft of vertical rise is required. Secure Flex venting kits and components may be used in any other vent installation where rigid Secure Vent® (SV4.5) direct-vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances, and allowances pertaining to rigid vent also apply to flexible vent. Do NOT modify Secure Flex kits . Also, do NOT join separate sections of flex vent together. Secure Flex kits can be installed on the end of a Secure Vent (SV4.5) rigid vent run, provided that doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements, or clearance considerations detailed in this manual. When combined, a rigid vent should not be installed between two flexible vents. Secure Flex kits come with an included adaptor that can be installed on the fireplace collar or the inclined channel end of the last Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent section. Align the dimpled end of the adaptor over the previously installed section or fireplace collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the adaptor are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the last vent section or collar. Push on the adaptor until it is fully engaged, then twist the adaptor clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

13. Connect the Gas Line

All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 30 illustrates two methods for connecting the gas supply. The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements vary depending on locality.
Installation must be in compliance with local codes.

NOTE: A sediment trap is recommended in the gas piping within the home to prevent moisture and debris in the line from damaging the valve.

NOTE: Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane resistant compounds are used in propane applications). Seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage. Gas line holes and other openings can be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation.

Access the Control Compartment

See Page 60 for instructions on Accessing the Control Compartment.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane resistant compounds are used in propane applications). Optionally, seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage. Gas line holes and other openings can be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation.
All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line. The orientation of the shutoff valve should face the front. Figure 30, Page 39 illustrates two methods for connecting the gas supply. A sediment trap is recommended to prevent moisture and debris in the gas line from damaging the valve.

Test Factory and Field Connections for Gas Leaks

WARNING
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test solution–also known as bubble leak solution.
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over time. 1. Light the fireplace (refer to the lighting instructions label in the control compartment or Pages 67-68). 2. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or
gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob (OFF/PILOT/ON) to the OFF position (millivolt units), or turn the receiver or remote control to the OFF position (electronic units). Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection, and then retest as described above. 3. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak testing solution
14. Verify Proper Fireplace Operation
1. With the gas line installed, inspect the system before closing the front of the unit. 2. Follow the pilot lighting instructions: · Electronic Systems (Pages 67-68)
NOTE: When lighting the fireplace for the first time, it will take a few minutes for the gas line to purge itself of air. When purged, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated. Subsequent lighting of the fireplace will not require purging. Inspect the pilot flame (carefully remove logs, if necessary).
Electronic Fireplace Inspection
To light the burner, turn ON the wall or remote control switch. Ensure the igniter lights the pilot. The pilot flame should engulf the thermocouple. Pilot should have two flames, one that engulfs the thermocouple and one that lights the burner (see Figure 31).

18. Adjust the Air Shutter to Ensure Proper Flame Appearance Flame Appearance and Sooting

The flame should be blue at the base, and yellow-orange in the body of the flame.
When the fireplace is first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will gradually turn yellow-orange during the first 15 minutes of operation. If the flame remains blue, or if the flame is orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter opening is closed too far, sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits forming on the logs, fireplace inside surfaces, and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellow- orange flame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted between these two extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines

· If smoke or soot is present, first check the log set positioning to ensure that the flames are not impinging on any of the logs. If the log set is properly positioned and a sooting condition persists, then the air shutter should be opened more.
· The more offsets in the vent system, the wider the air shutter will need to be opened.
· A fireplace operated with the air shutter opened too far may have flames that appear blue and transparent. These weak, blue, and transparent flames are termed anemic.
· Propane models may exhibit flames that appear stringy. If this condition is present and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more open position, then operate the fireplace for a few more minutes to ensure that the flame normalizes and the flames do not appear sooty. The following chart is provided to help achieve the correct air shutter adjustment for your installation.
