WARNING: Installation of this appliance should be done by a qualified service person well trained in the installation of such appliances. You will alsoneedabuildingpermitfrom your local Building and Safety Commissioner before installing this appliance; otherwise your insuranceco.maynotcoverthis appliance.
NOTICE: This appliance is not intendedtobeusedasaprimary source of heat.
CAUTION: Do not connect appliance before pressure testing gas piping. Damage to gas valve may result and an unsafe condition may be caused.
The appliance and itʼs individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping systemduringanypressuretestingofthatsystemat test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoffvalveduringanypressuretestingofthegas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
For the purpose of input adjustment two pressure taps (for IN and OUT pressures) are provided on the gas control valve for test gauge connections to the appliance.
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your appliance, you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1.The location must allow for proper clearances (see Clearances, page 7).
2.Consider a location where heat output would not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3.A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier. Figure 1 shows a plan view of a few common locations.
Flush installations are recommended where living space is limited or at a premium and since the space required to enclose the appliance would be located beyond an outside wall, this would also reduce the cutting of joists, roof rafters and such. Check local codes for any restrictions.
Projectedinstallationscanextendanydistance into the room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.
Corner installations make use of space that may not normally be used and provides a wider and more efficient range for radiant heat transference.
Internal wall installations provide a discreet option for room separation and can also be ideal as an addition to an existing wall.

FRAMING
1.Frame appliance enclosure as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8.
Note: If a wall covering is used to line the enclosure, then all measurements must be from the surface of the covering.
2.Place the appliance into the framing and secure it.
Note: If appliance is to be raised above floor level, a platform must be built to support the appliance.
3.Install the supply line to the appliance using a 1/2" NPT black iron gas line terminating 2 5/16" above the bottom of the appliance. The gas line must be installed through the lower left side accesspointoralternateaccess hole inthebottom of the appliance (see Figure 19, page 13).
4.Repack insulation around the gas lineto cover any remaining openings in the conduit sleeve. Prepare the incoming gas line with teflon tape orpipejointcompoundandhook-upincoming gas line to the flexible gas line.
Note: If 1/2" NPT black iron pipe does not mate withfittingattheendof flexiblegas line, remove fitting and replace with a 37 degree flare 3/4"-12, 1/2" NPT (female) fitting.
WARNING: When finishing appliance, do not overlap combustible material onto the black frontface.Brick,tileorothernoncombustible materials may be applied to the face provided that any gap is between the material usedandthefaceiscaulkedwith a noncombustible caulking.

INSTALLING TRANSITION PIPE AND STARTER COLLAR
The transition pipe and starter collar shown in Figure9aresuppliedwiththefireplace,unattached andreadyforinstallation.Removethestartercollar andsetaside.Slidethetransitionpipeoverthevent collar and attach with a minimum of three screws. Replace the starter collar over the transition pipe and attach using four screws located on the leg stands (five used on the model M42E). To install B-vent piping, slide the first piece of B-vent over the transition pipe and attach with either a minimum of two screws or other means approved by the vent manufacturer.

Figure 9 - Installing Transition Pipe and
A B-type venting system must be connected to the appliance for venting to the outside of the building.
The following section is provided as a guide to a standard B-type vent installation.
Standing codes requirements concerning B-type vent installations may vary within your state, province or local codes jurisdiction. Therefore, it is recommended that you check with your local building codes for specific requirements or in absence of local codes, follow Section 7.0 of the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and in Canada with CAN/CGA B149 for Category I systems using double wall B-1 vent pipe.
This gas appliance must be vented to the outdoors only and may not be terminated into an attic space or into a chimney flue servicing a solid-fuel burning appliance.
This appliance may be vented through a manufacturedchimneysystemoramasonrychimneyusing a B-vent adapter or a chimney liner system if all are listed, inspected and approved by local codes and/or building authorities.
The examples shown in Figure 10, page 10 are typical of most B-vent installations and codes practices.
Example 1: Shows the minimum allowable system height and lateral offset for a 60° degree or greater inclination. Code specifies that offsets at 60° degrees or greater are considered horizontal and must follow the 75% percent rule for lateral to total vertical system height. Codes also allows only one offset in the total system when at 60° degrees or greater. The total vertical height in this example represents the minimum height of 8 feet and therefore the allowable lateral is 6 feet when the 75% percent rule applies. If the lateral length must exceed 75% then the system must be sized in accordance with the Category I venting tables.
Example 2: Shows a multiple offset each at 45° degrees of inclination. Multiple offsets are permittediftheydonotexceed45°degreesofinclination. Thetotallengthsofthetwooffsetsarenotrequired to meet the 75% percent allowable rule.
Example 3: Shows a single offset at 45° degrees of inclination and therefore the lateral length at 10 feet of offset does not have to meet the 75% percent rule.
In each case the offsets must be supported and firestops must be positioned wherever the vent must pass through a sub-floor, ceiling joist or an attic overhang. The vent pipe must terminate vertically into a listed type vent cap and extend a sufficient height through an approved roof flashing, roof jack or a roof thimble. At all points the listed clearances must be maintained.
Vent terminations must be located in accordance withheightandproximityrulesofNFPANo.54or CAN/CGAB149. These rules apply to vents at 12 in. diameter or less and require a minimum height in accordance with the roof pitch and a minimum of 8 ft. distance from a vertical wall or obstruction (see Figure 11, page 10).
If venting horizontally through a side wall becomesnecessary,alistedthimbleapprovedforuse with B-type vent must be used. Check with your local codes before venting through a side wall.
Some codes areas allow the use of existing B-type ventsystemsifthesystemisatorabovetherecommended diameter of the flue; in this case 6".

It is not recommended that this appliance be commonventedwithanexistinggasburningappliance. However, if it becomes necessary to common vent this appliance, the venting system must be sized and configured in accordance with the common ventingguidesAppendixGofthecurrentNational Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and in Canada with CAN/CGA B149.
