Typical Locations

The location should also be free of electrical,plumbing or other heating/air conditioning duct-ing. These direct vent appliances are uniquelysuited for installations requiring a utility shelfpositioned directly above the fireplace. Utilityshelves like these are commonly used for locat-ing television sets and decorative plants.

Do not insulate the space between the appli-ance and the area above it. See Figure 3. Theminimum height from the base of the applianceto the underside of combustible materials usedto construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shownin the table in Figure 3.

The appliance should be mounted on a fullysupported base extending the full width anddepth of the unit. The appliance may be locatedon or near conventional construction materi-als. However, if installed on combustible ma-terials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., ametal or wood barrier covering the entire bot-tom surface must be used.

APPLIANCE AND VENT CLEARANCES

These appliances are approved with zero clear-ance from spacers to combustible materials onall sides (as detailed in Table 2 ), with thefollowing exception: When the unit is installedwith one side flush with a perpendictular sidewall, the wall perpendicular to the opposite sideof the appliance front face must not extendmore than five inches beyond the front edge ofthe unit. In addition, when the unit is recessed,the side walls surrounding the unit must notextend more than five inches beyond the frontedge of the unit. Refer to Figure 2.

Step 3. INSTALL THE VENT SYSTEM

General Information

These instructions should be used as a guide-line and do not supersede local codes in anyway. Install vent according to local codes,these instructions, the current National FuelGas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or thecurrent standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 and -B149.2 in Canada.

These fireplaces are designed, testedand listed for operation and installationwith, and only with, Secure Vent™ DirectVent System Components, Secure Flex™Flexible Vent Components manufacturedby Security Chimneys International andZ-FLEX™ Model GA Venting Systems listedto UL1777 and ULCS635 manufactured byFlexmaster Canada Limited.

These approved vent system componentsare labeled for identification. DO NOTuse any other manufacturer's ventcomponents with these appliances.

Some local jurisdictions may require the gapbetween the outer wall of the vent systemand the firestop penetration opening to besealed. This is not a requirement of thelisting of this product, however this gap maybe sealed using aluminized tape or similarnon-combustible material.

The vent system may not service multiple appli-ances, and must never be connected to a flueserving a solid fuel burning appliance. The ventpipe is tested to be run inside an enclosing wall(such as a chase). There is no requirement forinspection openings in the enclosing wall at anyof the joints in the vent pipe.

Select Venting System - Horizontal or Vertical

With the appliance secured in framing, deter-mine vent routing and identify the exteriortermination location. The following sectionsdescribe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exte-rior wall) vent applications. Refer to the sec-tion relating to your installation. A list ofapproved venting components is shown inthe two tables on page 27.

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)

Figure 15, and Figures 25 through 27 onpages 12 and 15 and their associatedVertical Vent Tables illustrate the various verti-cal venting configurations that are possible foruse with these appliances. Secure Vent pipeapplications are shown in these figures; SecureFlex pipe may also be used. A Vertical VentTable summarizes each system’s minimumand maximum vertical and horizontal lengthvalues that can be used to design and install thevent components in a variety of applications.

Both these vertical vent systems terminatethrough the roof. The minimum vent heightabove the roof and/or adjacent walls is speci-fied in ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition) (In Canada,the current CAN-1 B149 installation code) bymajor building codes. Always consult yourlocal codes for specific requirements. A gen-eral guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (referto Figure 11 on page 9).

Massachusetts And New York City, NYRequirements

These appliances are approved for installationin the following USA locations listed in thefollowing:

Massachusetts:Installation of these fireplaces are approvedfor installation in the US state of Massachu-setts if the following additional requirementsare met-

• Installation and repair must be done by aplumber or gas fitter licensed in the Common-wealth of Massachusetts.• The flexible gas line connector used shall notexceed 36 inches (92 centimeters) in length.• The individual manual shut-off must be a T-handle type valve.

New York City, NY:Installation of these fireplaces are approvedfor installation in New Your City in the US stateof New York.

Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, hori-zontal terminations installed less than seven(7) feet above the finished grade must complywith the following additional requirements:

• A hard wired carbon monoxide detector withan alarm and battery back-up must be installedon the floor level where the gas fireplace isinstalled. The carbon monoxide detector mustcomply with NFPA 720, be ANSI/UL 2034listed and be ISA certified.

• A metal or plastic identification plate must bepermanently mounted to the exterior of thebuilding at a minimum height of eight (8) feetabove grade and be directly in line with thehorizontal termination. The sign must read, inprint size no less than one-half (1/2) inch insize, GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEPCLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.

These fireplaces must be vented directlyto the outside.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the insideof the right side framing as shown in Figure 13.Gas lines must be routed, constructed andmade of materials that are in strict accordancewith local codes and regulations.

All appliances are factory-equipped with a flex-ible gas line connector and 1/2" inch shutoffvalve. (See step 5 on page 21).

To attach a vent component to the appliancecollar, align the dimpled end over the collar,adjusting the radial alignment until the fourlocking dimples are aligned with the inlet of thefour inclined channels on the collar (refer toFigure 17 ). Push the vent component againstthe collar until it fully engages, then twist thecomponent clockwise, running the dimplesdown and along the incline channels until theyseat at the end of the channels.

The unitized design of the Secure Vent com-ponents will engage and seal both the innerand outer pipe without the need for sealant orscrews. If desired, a #6 x 1/2" screw may beused at the joint, but is not required as the pipewill securely lock when twisted.

C. Attach vent components to each other -Other vent sections may be added to the previ-ously installed section in accordance with therequirements of the vertical vent figures andtables. To add another vent component to alength of vent run, align the dimpled end over theinclined channel end of the previously installedsection, adjusting the radial alignment until thefour locking dimples are aligned with the inlets ofthe four incline channels of the previous section.

Push the vent component against the previoussection until it fully engages, then twist thecomponent clockwise running the dimples downand along the incline channels until they seat atthe end of the channels. This seating positionis indicated by the alignment of the arrow anddimple as shown in Figure 18.

D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When usingSecure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceil-ing joists; when using Secure Flex, use SF4.5VFfirestop/spacer. If there is living space above theceiling level, the firestop/spacer must be installedon the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space isabove the ceiling, the firestop/spacer must beinstalled on the top side of the joist. Route the ventsections through the framed opening and securethe firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appro-priate fasteners at each corner.

Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clearanceto combustibles, framing members, and atticor ceiling insulation when running verticalchimney sections.

E. Support the vertical vent run sections -Support the vertical portion of the venting sys-tem every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace ventoutlet using field provided support straps (con-ventional plumber's tape). Secure the plumber'stape to the framing members with nails or screws.

Loop the tape around the vent, securing theends of the tape to the framing. If desired,sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2" length may beused to secure the support straps to the ventpipe . See Figure 19.

Where required, a telescopic vent section(SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the in-staller with an option in installing in tight andconfined spaces or where the vent run madeup of fixed length pieces develops a joint in aundesirable location, or will not build up to therequired length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic VentSection has an effective length of from 1-1/2"(38 mm) to 7-1/2" (191 mm). The SV4.5LA isfitted with a locking inclined channel end (iden-tical to a normal vent section component) anda plain end with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain endover the locking channel end of a standardSV4.5 vent component the required distanceand secure with three screws.

Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance tocombustible materials for all vertical elements.Clearances for all horizontal elements are 3"(76 mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides and 1"(25 mm) on the bottom.

A. Frame ceiling opening - Use a plumb linefrom the ceiling above the appliance to locatecenter of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame anopening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267mm x 267mm)inside dimensions, about this center mark(Figure 16 ).

K. Install the vertical termination - The finalstep involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections tothe height as shown in the "Vertical vent termina-tion section" on page 9. The SV4.5CGV-1 Ver-tical Termination (Figure 24 ) installs in the exactsame fashion as any other Secure Vent section.Align the termination over the end of the previ-ously installed section, adjusting the radial align-ment until the locking dimples of the terminationare aligned with the inlets of the four inclinechannels of the last vent section. Push thetermination down until it fully engages, thentwist the termination clockwise running thedimples down and along the incline channelsuntil they seat at the end of the channels.

I. Install the roof flashing - Extend the ventsections through the roof structure. Install theroof flashing over the vent section and positionsuch that the vent column rises vertically (usecarpenters level) (Figure 22 ). Nail along perim-eter to secure flashing or adjust roofing to over-lap the flashing edges at top and sides only andtrim where necessary. Seal the top and bothsides of the flashing with waterproof caulking.

If the vent system extends more than 5' (1.5 m)above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be nec-essary. Additional screws may be used at sectionjoints for added stability. Guide wires may beattached to the joint for additional support onmultiple joint configurations.

G. Continue installation of horizontal/inclinedsections - Continue with the installation of thestraight vent sections in horizontal/inclined runas described in Step C. Install support strapsevery 5' (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined ventruns using conventional plumber’s tape. It isvery important that the horizontal/inclinedrun be maintained in a straight (no dips) andrecommended to be in a slightly elevatedplane, in a direction away from the fireplaceof 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm per meter) which isideal, though rise per foot run ratios that aresmaller are acceptable all the way down to at ornear level. Use a carpenter’s level to measurefrom a constant surface and adjust the supportstraps as necessary.

It is important to maintain the required clear-ances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sidesfor all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the top,1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at thebottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

H. Frame roof opening - Identify location forvent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening perRoof Framing Chart and Figure 21.

J. Install the storm collar - Install the stormcollar, supplied with the flashing, over thevent/flashing joint. See Figure 23. Loosen thestorm collar screw. Slide collar down until itmeets the top of the flashing. Tighten theadjusting screw. Apply non-combustible caulk-ing or mastic around the circumference of thejoint to provide a water tight seal.

F. Change vent direction to horizontal/in-clined run - At transition from or to a horizon-tal/inclined run, install the SV4.5E45 andSV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as thestraight vent sections. The elbows feature atwist section to allow them to be routed aboutthe center axis of their initial collar section toalign with the required direction of the nextvent run element. Twist elbow sections in aclockwise direction only so as to avoid thepossiblity of unlocking any of the previouslyconnected vent sections. See Figure 20.

VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLESNote: Secure Vent (rigid vent pipe) is shownin the figures; Secure Flex (flexible vent pipe)may also be used.

Note: It is very important that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a straight (nodips) and recommended to be in a slightlyelevated plane, in a direction away from thefireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm permeter) which is ideal, though rise per foot runratios that are smaller are acceptable all theway down to at or near level.

Note: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Se-cure Flex) firestop/spacer must be used any-time vent pipe passes through a combustiblefloor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent),SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)firestop/spacer must beused anytime vent pipe passes through a com-bustible wall.

Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used inplace of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise torun ratios, as shown in the venting figures for90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degreeelbows are used.

TYPICAL HORIZONTAL VENT INSTALLATION

Figure 28Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system compo-nents are unitized concentric pipe componentsfeaturing positive twist lock connection, (refer toFigure 17 on page 13). All of the appliancescovered in this document are fitted with collarshaving locking inclined channels. The dimpledend of the vent components fit over the appliancecollar to create the positive twist lock connection.

A. Plan the vent run -Analyze the vent routing and determine thetypes and quantities of sections required4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2"(572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181mm) net section lengths are available. Plan thevent lengths so that a joint does not occur at theintersection of ceiling or roof joists. Make al-lowances for elbows as indicated in Figure 20on page 13. Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm)clearance to combustibles on the vertical sec-tions. Clearances for the horizontal runs are; 3" (76mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides, and 1" (25 mm)at the bottom.

B. Frame exterior wall opening -Locate the center of the vent outlet on theexterior wall according to the dimensions shownin Figure 4 on page 5. Cut and/or frame anopening, 10-1/2" x 12-1/8" (267 mm x 267mm) inside dimensions, about this center.

C. Frame ceiling opening - If the verticalroute is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb lineto locate the center above the appliance. Cutand/or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2"(267 mm x 267 mm) inside dimensions, aboutthis center (refer to Figure 16 on page 12 ).

D. Attach vent components to appliance - Toattach a vent component to the appliance collar,align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting theradial alignment until the four locking dimples arealigned with the inlets of the four incline channelson the collar (refer to Figure 17 on page 13).

G. Support the vertical run sections -See Section E on page 13.

Push the vent component against the collar until itfully engages, then twist the component clockwise,running the dimples down and along the inclinechannels until they seat at the end of the channels.The unitized design of the Secure Vent compo-nents will engage and seal both the inner and outerpipe elements with the same procedure. Sealantand securing screws are not required.

E. Attach vent components to each other -Other vent sections may be added to the previ-ously installed section in accordance with therequirements of the vent tables. To add anothervent component to a length of vent run, align thedimpled end of the component over the inclinedchannel end of the previously installed section,adjusting the radial alignment until the four lock-ing dimples are aligned with the inlets of the fourincline channels of the previous section. Pushthe vent component against the previous sectionuntil it fully engages, then twist the componentclockwise running the dimples down and alongthe incline channels until they seat at the end ofthe channels.This seating position is indicatedby the alignment of the arrow and dimple asshown in Figure 18 on page 13.

F. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling -When using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, useSF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living spaceabove the ceiling level, the firestop/ spacer must beinstalled on the bottom side of the ceiling. If atticspace is above the ceiling, the firestop/ spacer mustbe installed on the top side of the joist. Route thevent sections through the framed opening andsecure the firestop/spacer with 8d nails or otherappropriate fasteners at each corner.

I. Continue installation of horizontal/inclinedsections - Continue with the installation of thestraight vent sections in horizontal/inclined runas described in Step E. Install support strapsevery 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclinedvent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.See Figure 28. It is very important that thehorizontal/inclined run be maintained in astraight (no dips) and recommended to be ina slightly elevated plane, in a direction awayfrom the fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mmper meter) which is ideal, though rise per footrun ratios that are smaller are acceptable all theway down to at or near level. Use a carpenter’slevel to measure from a constant surface andadjust the support straps as necessary.

Both of these horizontal vent systems terminatethrough an outside wall. Building Codes limit orprohibit terminating in specific areas. Refer toFigure 14 on page 10 for location guidelines.

Figure 28, and Figures 31 to 33 on pages 16,18 and 19 and their associated Horizontal VentTable illustrate the various horizontal ventingconfigurations that are possible for use withthese appliances. Secure Vent pipe applica-tions are shown in these figures; Secure Flexpipe may also be used. A Horizontal Vent Tablesummarizes each system’s minimum and maxi-mum vertical and horizontal length values thatcan be used to design and install the ventcomponents in a variety of applications.

HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL)TERMINATION SYSTEM

H. Change vent direction - At transition fromor to a horizontal/inclined run, install theSV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the samemanner as the straight vent sections. Theelbows feature a twist section to allow themto be routed about the center axis of theirinitial collar section to align with the re-quired direction of the next vent run element.Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direc-tion only so as to avoid the possiblity ofunlocking any of the previously connectedvent sections. See Figure 20.

Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clear-ance to combustibles, framing members,and attic or ceiling insulation when runningvertical chimney sections.

IMPORTANT: The vent termination is hotwhile in operation and for a period of timefollowing use of the fireplace. To preventcontact with hot surfaces, we recommendthe use of a Termination Guard. This can bepurchased at your local dealer.

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weatherconditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.

When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place thetermination where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flowof cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where thepossibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct thewater away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.

Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, includingthe use of silicone caulking where required.

J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall - If notpreviously measured, locate the center of thevent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening asdescribed in Step B. Assemble the vent systemto point where the terminus of the last sectionis within 5 in. (127 mm) to 9-1/4 in. (235 mm)inboard of the exterior surface to which thetermination is to be attached, see Figure 30. Ifthe terminus of the last section is not within thisdistance, use the telescopic vent sectionSV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wallthicknesses greater than that shown in Figure30, refer to Table 3 on page 18. This table liststhe additional venting components needed (inaddition to the termination and adapter) for aparticular range of wall thicknesses.

K. Attach termination adapter - Attach theadapter (adapter - SV4.5RCH - provided withthe termination) to the vent section or tele-scoping vent section), elbow or appliance col-lar as shown in Figure 29 in the same manneras any SV4.5 vent component (refer to Step E).

L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall -When using the square termination, installSV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exte-rior side of the framing, long side up, with the3 inch spacer clearance at the top as shown inFigure 29, and nail into place. (The Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over the openingat the interior side of the framing).

1. Install the square termination (SV4.5HT-2)- For the last step , from outside the exteriorwall, slide the collars of the termination onto theadapter (the outer over the outer and the innerinside the inner) until the termination seatsagainst the exterior wall surface to which it willbe attached. Orient the housing of the termina-tion with the arrow pointed upwards. Securethe termination to the exterior wall.

VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL VENTING USINGSECURE FLEX KITS AND COMPONENTS

Secure Flex venting kits and components maybe used in any venting application where rigidSecure Vent (SV4.5) direct vent componentscan be used. All restrictions, clearances andallowances that pertain to the rigid pipingapply to the flexible venting. Secure Flex kitsmay not be modified; also, under no circum-stances may separate sections of flex pipebe joined together. Secure Flex kits may beadded to the end of a vent run made up of rigidSecure Vent (SV4.5) vent sections providedthat doing so does not violate any of theventing length, height, routing, horizontal tovertical ratio requirements or clearance con-siderations detailed in this manual.

Secure Flex kits come with an included adapterthat can be fitted to the appliance collar or theinclined channel end of the last Secure Vent(SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in theexact same fashion as any other Secure Ventsection. Align the dimpled end of the adapterover the previously installed section or appli-ance collar, adjusting the radial alignment untilthe four locking dimples of the adapter arealigned with the inlets of the four incline chan-nels of the last vent section or collar. Push onthe adapter until it fully engages, then twist theadapter clockwise running the dimples downand along the incline channels until they seat atthe end of the channels.

Attach the flexible vent to the adapter asfollows (also see Figure 34 ):

A. Install the Inner Flex Pipe -

1. Install the small gear clamp loosely aroundthe inner flexible vent pipe, push it back out ofthe way.2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700°F)high temperature sealant - Catalog No.10K81) to the inner adapter collar, approxi-mately 1/2 inches from the end.3. Pull and extend the inner flexible vent pipe.4. Slide the inner flex pipe over the adaptercollar. Ensure the flexible vent pipe completelyengages the adapter collar to a distance of 1³⁄₄

inch from the end, and that it is free fromdamage or tears.5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten itfully to secure the flexible vent to the adapterinner collar approximately ³⁄₄ inch from the endof the flex.6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart throughthe flexible vent pipe and into the adapter collarjust below the gear clamp to provide additionalsecurity to the connection.

B. Install the Outer Flex Pipe -1. Install the large gear clamp loosely aroundthe outer flexible vent pipe, push it back out ofthe way.2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700°F) hightemperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81) tothe outer adapter collar; to the grooves of thecollar which extend approximately 1 inch fromthe end and to the flat surface, approximately1³⁄₈ inches from the end.3. Pull and extend the outer flexible vent pipe.4. Slide the outer flex pipe over the adaptercollar. Ensure the flexible vent pipe completelyengages the adapter collar to a distance of 1³⁄₄

inches from the end, and that it is free fromdamage or tears. 5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten itfully to secure the flexible vent to the adapterouter collar approximately ³⁄₄ inch from the endof the flex.6. Install three screws 120 degrees apartthrough the flexible vent pipe and into theadapter collar just below the gear clamp toprovide additional security to the connection.

C. Route Flex Vent -Ensure that the flex vent is properly routed toprovide the required clearance. Do Not allowthe flexible vent to bend in a radius tighter than5" (127 mm). Refer to Figure 35. Supporthorizontal sections of flex with metal straps at2 foot (0.61 m) intervals.

Note: Secure Flex vent must be attached toSecure Flex terminations only. DO NOTsubstitute Secure Vent terminations or theSecure Vent adapter for Secure Flex compo-nents. The collars of Secure Flex termina-tions and adapters have a different circum-ference than that used with the Secure Ventpipe. Additionally, Secure Flex componentshave an extended length center tube for usein attaching the flexible vent.

D. Attach Flex Vent to Termination -Secure Flex components can be purchasedseparately and attached to bulk lengths ofSecure Flex flexible tubing cut to size at thejob site. When using this method connect theflex vent only to Flex Vent terminations, notSecure Vent terminations. Secure the flexiblevent to the Secure Flex terminations in thesame manner (see Figure 34) as it was at-tached to the adapter.

A manual shut off valve is also provided withthe flex line. The gas control valve is locatedin the lower control compartment (refer toFigure 44). The RF control millivolt valvehas a 1/2" (13 mm) NPT thread inlet port.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriatetools and sealing compounds (ensure pro-pane resistant compounds are used in pro-pane applications).

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks,using a gas leak test solution (also referred toas bubble leak solution).

Note: Using a soapy water solution (50% dishsoap, 50% water) is an effective leak testsolution but it is not recommended, becausethe soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over time. Neveruse an open flame to check for leaks.

A. Light the appliance (refer to the lightinginstructions label in the control compartmentor in the Homeowner's Care and OperationInstructions).

B. Brush all joints and connections with thegas leak test solution to check for leaks. Ifbubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected,turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” posi-tion. Either tighten or refasten the leakingconnection and retest as described above.

C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.

D. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,observe the individual tongues of flame on theburner. Make sure all ports are open andproducing flame evenly across the burner. Ifany ports are blocked, or partially blocked,clean out the ports.

Step 5. CONNECTING GAS LINE

Make gas line connections. All codes require ashut-off valve mounted in the supply line. Fig-ure 38 illustrates two methods for connectingthe gas supply. The flex-line method is accept-able in the U.S., however, Canadian require-ments vary depending on locality. Installationmust be in compliance with local codes.

These appliances are equipped with a gas flexline for use (where permitted) in connectingthe unit to the gas line. A gas flex line isprovided to aid in attaching the direct ventappliance to the gas supply.

The gas flex line can only be used where localcodes permit. See Figure 38 for flex linedescription. The flex line is rated for bothnatural and propane gas.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPEDWITH A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING)PLUG FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINSTSHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BEPLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLYGROUNDED THREE-PRONGED RECEP-TACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THEGROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.

Note: Instructions are also found on the litera-ture tag attached to the gas valve train.

When first lighting the appliance, it will take a fewminutes for the line to purge itself of air. Oncepurging is complete, the pilot and burner will lightand operate as indicated in the instruction manual.Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not re-quire such purging. Inspect the pilot flame (removelogs, if necessary, handling carefully).

Figure 46

INSTALLING THE GLASS DOOR

Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing atthe tips of very long orange flames. Sootingresults in black deposits forming on the logs,appliance inside surfaces and on exterior sur-faces adjacent to the vent termination.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion inthe flames and lack of combustion air enteringthe air shutter opening. To achieve a warmyellow to orange flame with an orange body thatdoes not soot, the shutter opening must beadjusted between these two extremes.

No smoke or soot should be present. Repositionthe logs if flames impinge on any of them.If the logs are properly positioned and sootingconditions exist, the air shutter opening on themain burner tube should be adjusted. Normally,the more offsets in the vent system, the greaterthe need for the air shutter to be opened further.

To adjust the flame, rotate the air shutteradjustment rod toward the back or towardthe front of the fireplace (rod located in thelower control area). Position the air shutterto the factory setting as shown in the Tableof Figure 47. Allow the burner to operate forat least 15 minutes. Observe the flame con-tinuously. If it appears weak or sooty aspreviously described, adjust the air shutterby pushing or pulling on the adjustment roduntil the flame appearance is as desired.

The air shutter adjustment rod and associatedadjustable air shutter is patented technology.Flame adjustments can be made quickly andaccurately to taste without the need of disassem-bling the appliance and waiting for 30 minutesafter each adjustment.

When satisfied that the appliance operatesproperly, proceed to finish the installation.Leave the control knob in the ON positionand the remote switch OFF.

Vent Restrictor

The appliance has a built-in vent restrictor,refer to Figure 46 for location, to adjust theflow of exhaust gases. This ensures propercombustion for all vent configurations. De-pending on the vent configuration, you maybe required to adjust the restriction position.See below for guidelines.

Burner Adjustment

Position the door in front of the firebox openingwith the bottom of the door held away from thefireplace (Figure 46 ). Hook the top flange of thedoor frame over the top of the firebox frame.

Let the bottom of the door frame swing gentlyin towards the fireplace ensuring that the gas-ket seats evenly as the door frame draws shut.Fasten the two latches located underneath thefirebox floor to the door's vee-flange. Closeboth the latches securely.

Step 9. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

Flame Appearance and sooting

Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste.Generally, most people prefer the warm glow ofa yellow to orange flame. Appliances operatedwith air shutter openings that are too large willexhibit flames that are blue and transparent.These weak, blue and transparent flames aretermed anemic. If the air shutter opening is toosmall sooting may develop. * Adjustment to the air shutter may be re-

quired to get the desired flame appearance,(refer to Figure 47 ).

1. Horizontal Ventingwith 6" vent section andone 90° elbow.

* Pointed toward the front.

2. Vertical venting.

3. Combination of ver-tical and horizontalventing.

* Pointed toward the left.

* Adjust accordingly for best result.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your appliance with noncombustible materialand wherever cold air could enter the room. It is especially important to insulate outside chasecavity between studs and under floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above ground level. Gasline holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation. Incold climates, if the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab, a sheet of plywood or other raisedplatform can be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. It also helps tosheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.
