SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP GAS
Propane (LP-Gas) is a ammable gas which can cause res
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions
which can protect both you and your family from an accident.
Read them carefully now, then review them point by point
with the members of your household. Someday when there
may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend
on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following
information, you feel you still need more information, please
contact your gas supplier.
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as
basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep
out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until reghters
declare them to be safe.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the re department. Even though you may not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, let the service man and reghters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
check and relight the gas appliance for you.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must nd out if you
can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in
the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-Gas is colorless, and it can fade under
some circumstances. For example, if there is an underground
leak, the movement of the gas through soil can lter the odorant.
Odorants in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can
occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-Gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to
nd out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that
your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
• If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform service,
or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If
you are qualied, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor
if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of
new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should
be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders
are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or
reinstalled old tanks, if they are lled and allowed to set too
long before relling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out
of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause
odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic
sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question
about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. A periodic
sniff test of the LP-Gas is a good safety measure under
any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under
no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air
through openings such as pilot light orices. If this occurs, some
new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then
treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container
before it goes completely empty or having it relled before it is
completely empty.

Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit.
Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate,
contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
to the action of liqueed petroleum gases. The gas lines must be
checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap
solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if
unexposed, a pressure test should be made.
Never use an exposed ame to check for leaks. Appliance must
be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe
capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with
appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
NOTE: The gas controls are equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8 in.
test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or ex connector use only approved ttings.
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected
from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its 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 (3.5kPa).
Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (14 in. w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the replace gas valve, it will
result in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure
regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold
pressure of approximately 3.5 in. w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 5.0 in. w.c.
(1.245kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0 in. w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold
pressure approximately 10.0 in. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8 in. w.c.
(2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0 in. w.c. (3.484kPa).

To Use the Vent Graph
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe.
Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the
point it intersects with the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the
bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit in accordance
with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the top of the unit is 35 ft. (10.67 m), the
horizontal run to the outer wall ange must not exceed 5 ft (1.52 m).
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the top of the unit is 5 ft. (1.52 m), the
horizontal run to the outer wall ange must not exceed 11 ft. (3.35 m).
Special Note: For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal
run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18"
(45cm). This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows are installed
on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce 3 ft. (91.4 cm) for
every 90° elbow.
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length
is 20 ft. (6.10 m) and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the
horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17 ft. (5.18 m).
The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side
wall installation is two. These elbows can be installed in either the
vertical or horizontal run.
NOTE: The rst elbow does not get counted.
Vertical Venting
When venting long straight vertical sections, use of the vertical vent
bafes may be required for optimal ame performance.
To install vertical vent bafes, align the two holes on the vertical
vent bafe with the two holes in the ue bafe. Secure the vertical
vent bafe with the screws provided. Repeat for both sides of the
ue bafe.
Acceptable vertical and horizontal vent run.

Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances
of 12 in. (305mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended.
It allows installation depth down to 7 in. (178mm) below grade level.
The 7 in. (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal
vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting
system is installed below ground, we recommend a window
well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around
the termination area.

will avoid any extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be assembled
on the unit after the unit is moved into the nal position.
Cutting the Hole
After the replace has been positioned in its permanent location,
the hole through the exterior wall of the house can be cut. This hole
must be 12 in. (305mm) high x 10 in. (254mm) wide with its center
line determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of
the termination. See Figure 26. When locating the hole it must be
noted that the bottom of the cap must be 12 in. (305mm) above the
ground level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18 in. (457mm)
below a combustible projection, and no closer than 9 in. (229mm)
to any wall running parallel to vent termination. See Figure 27.

TERMINATION CLEARANCES
Termination clearance for buildings with combustible and noncombustible exteriors.
Vertical Sidewall Installations
Important! Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is three (3 in.) (76mm) on top, and (1 in.) (25mm) on bottom
and sides.
Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20 in. (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must extend
outward so that the horizontal vent terminal is located ush to, or beyond the outcrop siding.
Information on Various Venting Routes and Components
Important: It is always best to locate the replace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the ue gas exhaust, certain
limitations as to vent congurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths
allowable.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the ue collar of the replace to the face of the outer wall.
The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 ft. (457 cm) when the vertical vent rise is 8 ft. (244 cm). See Figure 21.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

VENT SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
Installing Vent Components
Begin the vent system installation by installing the rst Duravent component to the starting collar, 24 inch (60.10 cm) minimum straight
pipe on the top of the appliance, then the remaining pipe length and the horizontal or vertical termination kit.
NOTE: All outer connection joints must be sealed with aluminum tape, screws or silicone sealant rated above 300°F/149°C. The
inner ue joints do not require any sealant.
Duravent vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto
the appliance collar or previously installed component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of each
starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90° (approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.
Continue adding components per the pre-planned vent system conguration. Be certain that each succeeding vent component is securely
tted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.

Installing Firestops
Firestops are required for safety whenever the vent system passes
through an interior wall, an exterior wall, or a ceiling. These restops
act as a rebreak heat shield and as a means to insure that minimum
clearances are maintained to the vent system.
Horizontal runs in the vent system which pass through either interior
or exterior walls, require the use of wall restops on both sides of
the wall through which the vent passes.
Cut an appropriate sized hole in wall. See Figure 35. Position
restop on interior side of wall for hole.
Attention: Wall restop hole is off-set towards bottom of wall
opening. Secure with nails or screws. Continue the vent run through
the restop. See Figure 35.
Attention: Horizontal venting through a wall requires a wall
thimble on the interior side of the wall above the pipe.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
NOTE: Termination cap should pass through the wall restop from
the exterior of the building. Adjust the termination cap to
its nal exterior position on the building.
Warning: Termination cap must be positioned so that arrow is
pointing up.
Attach the termination cap with the four wood screws provided.
Before attachment of the termination, run a bead of silicone sealant
rated above 250°F on its outside edge too, so as to make a seal
to the exterior wall.
NOTE: Wood screws can and should be replaced with appropriate
fasteners for use on stucco, brick, concrete or other types
of siding.
CAUTION: If exterior walls are nished with vinyl siding, (or materials
that could become discolored or warp) it is necessary to install a
vinyl siding standoff.
The vinyl siding standoff will be installed between the vent termination
and the exterior wall. See Figure 39. This horizontal vent termination
bolts onto the at portion of the vinyl siding standoff, so an air space
will exist between the wall and the termination cap.

VERTICAL TERMINATION
Locate and mark the center point of the venting pipe. Using a nail
on the underside of the roof and drive this nail through this center
point. Make the outline of the roof hole around this center point.
NOTE: Size of the roof hole dimensions depend on the pitch of
the roof. There must be a 1 inch clearance (25mm) to the
vertical pipe sections. This clearance is to all combustible
material.
Cover the opening of the vent pipe and cut and frame the roof hole.
Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters and install the
frame securely. Flashing anchored to frame must withstand high
winds. The storm collar is placed over this joint to make a water-tight
seal. Non-hardening sealant should be used to completely seal this
ashing installation.
Determining Minimum Vent Height Above the Roof.
WARNING: Major U.S. building codes specify minimum chimney
and/or vent height above the roof top. These minimum heights
are necessary in the interest of safety. These specications are
summarized in Figure 40.

When terminating the vent cap near an exterior wall or overhang,
maintain minimum clearances as shown in Figure 41.
General Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually.
Recommended areas to inspect are as follows:
1. Check areas of the venting system which are exposed to the
elements for corrosion. These will appear as rust spots or
streaks and, in extreme cases, holes. These components should
immediately be replaced.
2. Remove the cap and shine a ashlight down the vent. Remove
any bird nests or other foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensate, such as water
droplets forming in the inner liner and subsequently dripping
out at joints. Condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and
ttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too
many elbows and exterior portions of the system being exposed
to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sections or ttings have been
supports, such as wall straps or plumbers’ tape for rigidity.
Venting terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
A removable panel or other means must be provided in the enclosure
for visual inspection of the ue connection.
NOTE: This also pertains to vertical vent systems installed on the
outside of the building.
Slide the vertical vent cap over the ends of the vent pipe and secure.
See Figure 41.

VERTICAL TERMINATION
▲
Installing the Vent System in a Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas
appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vent runs on the outside of
a building may be, but are not required to be installed inside a chase.
CAUTION: Treatment of restop spacers and construction of
the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions
are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes.
Therefore, your local building codes must be checked to determine
the requirements for these steps.
NOTE: When installing this vent system in a chase, it is always good
building practice to insulate the chase as you would the outside
walls of your home. This is especially important for cold climate
installations. Upon completion of building your chase framing,
install the vent system by following the instructions in this manual.
Remember to build the chase large enough so that minimum
clearance of combustible materials (including insulation) to the vent
system are maintained.
Reassembly and Resealing Vent Pipe System
Attach vent pipe to inlet and outlet vent adaptor on replace, replace
horizontal and vertical pipe lengths, elbows and horizontal or vertical
termination kit.
All vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric
pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the
appliance collar or previously installed component end with four
(4) equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of
each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90°
(approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.
Continue replacing components per the vent system conguration.
Be certain that each succeeding vent component is securely tted
and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.
Vertical Through the Roof Applications
Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for:
a) Vertical installations up to 40 ft. (12.19 m) in height.
b) Two sets of 45 degree elbow offsets within these vertical
installations. From 0 to a maximum of 8 ft. a vent pipe can be
used between elbows. See Figure 43.
c) Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4 ft.
(1.22 m).
This application will require that you rst determine the roof pitch
and use the appropriate venting components.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance frequency must be determined individually for each
application. Some considerations are:
• Exposure to water, dirt, chemicals and heat can damage the
gas control and shut down the control system.
• Cycling frequency. Appliances that may cycle 20,000 times
annually should be checked monthly.
• Intermittent use. Appliances that are used seasonally should
be checked before shutdown and again before the next use.
• Dusty, wet or corrosive environment. Because these environments can cause the gas control to deteriorate more rapidly,
the system should be checked more often.
• Any control should be replaced if it does not perform properly
on checkout or service. In addition, replace any module if it is
wet or looks like it has been wet.
SERVICE
Do not disassemble the gas control; it contains non-replaceable
components. Attempted disassembly or repair can damage the
control.
Exactly follow the warnings and the lighting instructions.
1. Before lighting, smell around the appliance area for gas. If
the appliance uses LP (bottled) gas, be sure to smell next to
the oor because LP gas is heavier than air. If you smell gas,
immediately shut off the manual valve in the gas piping to the
appliance or on LP at the tank. Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch or use the phone.
Leave the building and call your gas supplier. If your gas sup-
plier cannot be reached, call the re department.
2. The gas control must be replaced if it has been ooded with
water. Call a qualied service technician.
3. The gas control is a safety device. It must be replaced in case
of any physical damage such as bent terminals, missing parts,
stripped threads, or evidence of exposure to excessive heat.
Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of
your heating appliance.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Please Note
It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas replace to give off some odor the
rst time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any
undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all
windows.
It is recommended that you burn your replace for at least six
(6) hours the rst time you use it.
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is
recommended that a qualied service person perform these check-
ups at the beginning of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn off pilot light at control module.
2. Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)
3. Vacuum burner compartment.
4. Reinstall glass front.
5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)
6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service
person.
• Check Vent System
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before
initial use and at least annually by a qualied service person.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure
that no debris is interfering with the air ow.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up
condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and
causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight lm on the glass.
It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three
times with a non-abrasive ammonia free household cleaner and
warm water (we recommend gas replace glass cleaner, contact a
local dealer for this product). After that the glass should be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season depending on the
circumstances present.
General Glass Information
Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front
removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass
should be done by a licensed or qualied service person.
Only glass approved for use by the manufacturer in replace may
be used for replacement. The glass replacement should be done
by a licensed or qualied service person.
WARNING:
1. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.
2. Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
3. Under no circumstances should this appliance be operated without
the glass front or with a broken glass front. Replacement of the
glass (with gasket) as supplied by the manufacturer should be
done by a qualied service person.
4. Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting the glass.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not
attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.
