AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
room or space unless the required volume of indoor
combustion air is provided by the method described
in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local
codes. Read the following instructions to insure proper
fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in
your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materi­als, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce
heat loss in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk
around windows and doors to keep cold air out and warm air in.
During heating months, homeowners want their homes as airtight
as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs
to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances
need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, some fireboxes, clothes dryers and some fuel burning
appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide
adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will ensure proper vent­ing of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation
classifications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconfined Space

3. Confined Space
Information on Pages 5 through 7 will help you classify your space

and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

Air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh
air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually
tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings exposed to outside atmosphere have a con-

tinuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10
kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has been added on openable windows and

doors and

c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around

window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, be­tween wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

If your home meets all three criteria above, you must provide
additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 6.

If your home does not meet all
Determining Fresh-Air Flow for Firebox Location.

three criteria above, proceed to

-11

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined
space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all ap­pliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space
whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed
in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which
the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with
doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space Using

the Standard Method

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined
space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any
adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height = __ cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling

height) = 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or

openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the
space.

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/
Hr the space can support.

_____ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space can

support)

Example: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 63,360 (maximum

Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

Vent-free heater _____ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* _____ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace _____ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater _____ Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs _____ Btu/Hr

Other gas appliances*

TotaL = _____ Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws

combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example:
Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + 39,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 79,000 Btu/Hr

+ _____ Btu/Hr

Crawl Space

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the
actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 63,360 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)

79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual

Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the

extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoin­ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation
Air From Inside Building, Page 6.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From

Outdoors.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room

unconfined.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no ad­ditional fresh air ventilation.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must
provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the out­doors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic
if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering
the attic will activate the power vent.

VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When
ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12"
of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and

2, Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option
3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA

WARNING: A qualified service person must install

firebox. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never install the firebox

• in a bedroom or bathroom*

• in a recreational vehicle

• where curtains, furniture, clothing or other flammable
objects are less than 36" from front or 42" from top
of firebox. For side clearances see Figure 4

• in high traffic areas

• in windy or drafty areas

* Unless the installed log set is rated at 10,000 Btu/

Hr or less.

B. Clearances from top of firebox opening to ceiling should not be

less than 42".

C. When firebox is installed on carpeting or other combustible material,

other than wood flooring, firebox should be installed on a metal or

wood panel extending full width and depth of enclosure.
D. Clearances from bottom of firebox to floor is 0".
These fireboxes can be installed as freestanding units against a wall

with approved, optional cabinet mantels (see Accessories, Page 13)
or as a built-in unit. Clearances are the same for either installation
method.

CAUTION: Do not install firebox directly on carpet

or vinyl.

CAUTION: Log heaters installed in this firebox
create warm air currents. These currents move heat
to wall surfaces next to firebox. Installing firebox next
to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating firebox
where impurities (such as, but not limited to, tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kero­sene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls
or cause odors.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture to the air. Al­though this is beneficial, installing firebox in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture.
See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, Page 5.

IMPORTANT: Make sure firebox is level. If firebox is not level, log set
will not work properly.

NOTE: Your firebox is designed to be used in zero clearance instal­lations. Wall or framing material can be placed against any exterior
surface on rear, sides, top or bottom of firebox, except where standoff
spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to
firebox, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing
materials.

Use dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest
installation (see Built-In Firebox Installation, Page 8).

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

Example

*

*Minimum 16" from Side Wall

Figure 4 - Minimum Clearance for Combustible to Wall

Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation (see Figure A, Page 9)

If placing custom mantel above built-in firebox, you must meet mini­mum allowable clearance between mantel shelf and top of firebox
opening shown in Figure 4. These are minimum allowable mantel
clearances for a safe installation. Use larger clearances wherever pos­sible to minimize heating of objects and materials placed on mantel.

CAUTION: Do not allow vent-free gas log heater

to touch or extend beyond fireplace screen.

WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If you
can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling and
adjoining wall.

Carefully follow these instructions. This will ensure safe installation.

INSTALLATION Continued

IMPORTANT: When finishing your firebox, combustible materials

such as wall board, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may be butted up next to sides and top of firebox. Combustible
materials should never overlap firebox front facing.

WARNING: Do not allow any combustible materi-

als to overlap firebox front facing.

IMPORTANT: Noncombustible materials such as brick, tile, etc. may
overlap front facing, but should never cover any necessary openings
like louvered slots.

WATERPROOFING THE FIREPLACE

Although this fireplace is designed to operate safety outdoors, rain
may enter the hearth area (along with condensation) that could cause
an undue amount of water to collect in 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.

Innovative Hearth Products (IHP) provides an optional drain pan to
assist weatherproofing the fireplace.

H4651 DPSS36 Drain Pan for StarLite36, H4652 DPSS42 Drain Pan
forStarLite42.

WARNING: Do not allow noncombustible materials

to cover any necessary openings like louvered slots.

WARNING: Use only noncombustible mortar or
adhesives when overlapping the front facing with
noncombustible facing material.

INSTALLING FIREBOX USING OPTIONAL ACCESSORY MANTELS

WARNING: A qualified service person must install
firebox. Follow all local codes.

This firebox may be installed using a cabinet mantel accessory against
a wall in your home. Firebox and cabinet mantel can be installed di­rectly on floor. A trim kit is included with mantel accessories. Follow
instructions with mantel for installation.

INSTALLING GAS LINE

NOTICE: A qualified service person must connect heater
to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

IMPORTANT: See Connecting to Gas Supply in your log set owner’s
manual for details on gas hookup.

You may run gas line from either side or back of firebox (see Figure

7a, Page 11). Decide which side you want to run gas line from.
NOTE: This is one option for installing shutoff valve. Check local codes

for equipment shutoff valve location requirements.

Locate recessed knockout in one firebrick liner (see Figure 1, Page
4 and Page 14). Firmly tap center of knockout with a chisel until it

is released. Carefully chisel rough edges of hole you have made to
smooth edges. This hole will line up with hole in outer casing.

CAUTION: Do not use excessive force to remove the
knockout. Too much force may damage the firebrick
concrete insert.

When Planning for the installation of the fire­place, the framing height must be increased
from 46-1/2" to 47-1/4", 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 7a).

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.

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 – 72" (1829mm). Refer

to Figure 7b on this Page and Figure 4 on Page

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.
