These appliances must be isolated from the gas supply piping system (by closing their individual manual shut-off valve) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
These appliances and their individual shut-off valves must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Orifice Sizes - Sea Level To High Altitude
(All Models)
These appliances are tested and approved for installation at elevations of 0-4500 feet (0-1372 meters) above sea level, using the standard burner orifice (See Table 4 ). For elevations above 4500 feet, contact your gas supplier or qualified service technician. Install the appliance according to the regulations of the local authorities having jurisdiction and, in the USA, the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or , in Canada, the CAN1B149.1 and .2 codes - latest edition.

Assembly outline
Before You Start
Check your inventory list to be sure you have all the necessary parts supplied in good usable condition. Check also for any concealed damage.
Location of fireplace
Carefully select the proper location for any obstructions, clearance to side wall(s), air availability, location and aesthetics. With proper pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches can save considerable time and expense later during construction and assembly. See Figure 2 for some examples.
LIVING SPACE

Hearth PAtIO

Figure 2
When choosing a location, care must be taken to avoid places where flooding or running water may be a problem.
Identify the desired location for the battery pack/ON/OFF switch junction box location. This should be easily accessible and convenient for use and high enough on the wall to be protected from water and drifted snow.
Do not use these appliances if any part of the gas supply, control or burner has been submerged under water. Immediately call a qualified, professional service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any parts of the control system and any gas control which have been under water.
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace opening with respect to the location of adjacent or nearby stairwells, doors, windows, walkways and over hanging trees, patios and wires.
When locating the fireplace, consideration must be given to combustibles and final finishing. See Figure 18 and confine the final location of combustible finish materials to the "Safe Zone". Also refer to Clearance Specifications on page 6.
Consider the effects of heat when locating any object in front of or near the fireplace opening.
Pre-installation notes
The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place the fireplace on vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces.
Position the electrical junction box as detailed in LOCATION OF FIREPLACE. (The umbilical cord is 9 feet long).
Be sure the fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for support.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the framing built around it, or the framing may be constructed and the fireplace positioned into the opening.
Usually, no special floor support is needed for the fireplace, however, to be certain:
1.Estimate the total weight of the fireplace system including surround materials such as brick, stone, etc., to be installed. Shipping weights for the fireplace may be found on page 8.
2.Measure the square footage of the floor space to be occupied by the system, surrounds and hearth extensions.
3.Note the decking construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s,
2x 8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type and thickness of floor boards.
4.Use this information and consult your local building code to determine if you need additional support.
If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth extension, build the platform assembly then position fireplace and hearth extension on top. Secure the platform to the floor to prevent possible shifting.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
Assembly steps
Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require a different sequence.
1.Position firebox prior to framing or into prepared framing (non-combustible framing is recommended).
2.Position the electrical junction box as detailed in LOCATION OF FIREPLACE.
(The umbilical cord is 9 feet long).
3.Waterproof the fireplace or install the optional drip pan (see Waterproofing The Fireplace and
Figure 3 on page 5 ).
4.Plumb gas line. (Gas connections should only be performed by an experienced, licensed/certified tradesman.)
5.Complete the installation, finish wall material, surround and hearth extension to your individual taste.
6.Assemble and attach optional accessories.
Study the three dimensional illustration (Figure 1 ) to get a general idea of each element of your fireplace system.
Waterproofing the fireplace
Although the fireplace is designed to operate safely outdoors, rain may enter the hearth area, condensation and can cause water to collect inside the fireplace bottom.
To prevent water collection, the builder must provide a means to drain water from under the fireplace by building or installing a water collector of the builders choice, before positioning the fireplace in its location.
Special care must be taken when the fireplace is installed against an exterior wall. The enclosure surrounding the fireplace on the sides and back must be treated as an exterior wall.
Lennox does provide an optional drain pan to assist weatherproofing the fireplace.
H4651 DPSS36 Drain Pan for E36ODG, H4652 DPSS42 Drain Pan for E42ODG.
When Planning for the installation of the fireplace, the framing height must be increased from 46-1/2 inches to 47-1/4 inches, when installing the drain pan. An additional space below the fireplace will also be required to plumb a drain line.
Step 1. Seal all joints, gaps and corners around the bottom of the drain pan before positioning the fireplace on its location (Figure 3 ).
Step 2. On the exposed drain hole, install a PVC threaded coupling reducer, 3/4" x 1/2" going from the top of the pan down through the hole. Apply a silicone-based sealant around the base and threads before installation.
Step 3. Holding the reducer coupling with a wrench, thread a 3/4", 90 degree, PVC elbow to the reducer until it is tight to the metal.
Step 4. Add additional piping to route the drain to an appropriate location.
Note: To assure proper drainage, the fireplace must be installed on a leveled surface.
Clearances
Minimum clearance to combustibles for the fireplace is as follows; sides and back – 1/2" (13mm), combustible floor – 0" (0mm), adjacent wall 6" (152mm), ceiling – 50" (1270mm).
Refer to Figure 4 on this page and Figure 18 on page 13 for more detail.
Note: Clearance behind the nailing flange for both fireplace models is 1/2" (13mm).
Note: Adjacent wall considerations are for an adjacent wall to only a single side. Walls should not be placed at the minimum distance on both sides of the fireplace. Allow at least 4 feet on one side of the fireplace.
