5.08: Modifications to NFPA-54, Chapter 10
(2) Revise 10.8.3 by adding the following additional requirements:
(a) For all side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in every dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part
for residential purposes, including those owned or operated by the Commonwealth and where the side wall exhaust vent termination is
less than seven (7) feet above finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not limited to decks and porches, the following
requirements shall be satisfied:
1. INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. At the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled
equipment, the installing plumber or gasfitter shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery backup is installed on the floor level where the gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing plumber or gasfitter shall observe
that a battery operated or hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm is installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure served by the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to
secure the services of qualified licensed professionals for the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors
a. In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic, the hard wired carbon
monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent floor level.
b. In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can not be met at the time of completion of installation, the owner shall have a
period of thirty (30) days to comply with the above requirements; provided, however, that during said thirty (30) day period, a battery
operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.

WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The installer must mechanically attach the marking supplied with the gas fireplace insert to the inside of the firebox of
the fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.
Cutting of any sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole (s) provided, an access hole of 1 1/2” (38.1 mm) or less may be
drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship-like manner. This access hole must
be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
The fireplace flue damper can be fully blocked open or removed for installation of the gas fireplace insert.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean and in good working order and constructed of non-combustible
materials. The chimney cleanouts must fit properly.
Refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be removed from the fireplace before installing
the gas fireplace insert.
Smoke shelves and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners. Trim panels must not seal ventilation openings in the fireplace.
31-DVIE33 10
Factory –Built (metal) Wood-Burning Fireplace Requirements
Any parts that are removed must be saved and re-installed if the insert is ever removed.
The damper (A) and grate (B) must be removed
The smoke shelf (C), internal baffles (D), screen ( E), masonry lining or refractory (G and I), and
metal or glass doors (F) may be removed.
The fireplace must be permanently marked to indicate that it has been altered and is no longer
suitable for burning any fuel unless the removed parts are reinstalled. Cutting out of any metal
parts is prohibited, except the metal floor (J) as specified.
The metal floor of the firebox may be removed only if the following is
strictly adhered to.
The metal floor (J) may be removed to allow additional room for installation of the insert. If the floor is removed the insert must be placed directly on the metal base of the
metal fireplace. Under no circumstance can it be placed directly on a combustible
material.
Any hearth extending out in front of the insert must not have any portion above 7” be-
low the bottom of the unit made from combustible materials. This includes any type of
framing underneath a non-combustible material such as tile, marble or stone. Any ma-
terial below 7” can be combustible.
31-DVIE33 11
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use
only parts specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal
injury or loss of life.
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for use in any masonry or factory-built, wood-burning
fireplace. It cannot be enclosed by combustible material and used as a built-in gas fireplace.

GAS CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have
purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the
certification label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be provided. All
gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the fireplace. The line must
be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Immediately upstream of the supply
connection, the fitter shall provide an accessible manual shut-off valve. When connecting the supply
line to the gas valve, the installer shall brace the gas valve to ensure that the gas valve is not moved
from its bracket. If the valve is not braced when the supply line is connected, the valve may be
moved and cause a “break” in the main burner supply line. Such damage is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure-testing of that system at 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 shutoff 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). Failure to do so will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such
damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Natural Gas Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 4.5” W.C. (1.2 kPa) and a maximum of 14”
W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a #33 DMS (2.87) drill size.

4500 ft (1372 M) and above. 33,000 BTU/hr (9.6 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
Propane Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 11” W.C. (2.8 kPa) and a maximum of 14”
W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a #51 DMS (1.73 mm) drill size.
ELEVATION INPUT RATING
0-4500 ft. (0-1372 M) 31,000 BTU/hr (9.02 kW)
4500 ft. (1372 M) and above. 31,000 BTU/hr (9.02 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
NOTE: THE INPUT RATING SHOULD ALWAYS BE CHECKED WHEN FIRST RUNNING THIS
APPLIANCE. To do this, reduce the background flow rate, time the meter, light the fireplace and
take another reading after 15 minutes of operation. Check with your gas supplier for the gas BTU
content at your elevation. Input is the rate of flow multiplied by the heating value of the gas (cubic
feet/hour x BTU per cubic feet). Adjust the manifold pressure so that the unit does not operate above
the rated input.
