ADDITIONAL

REQUIREMENTS

1) Ensure that structural members are not cut

or weakened during installation.

2) Ensure proper grounding using the #8 ground

lug provided. See the "Wiring Diagram" section.

HEATWAVE

DUCT SYSTEM

OPTIONAL KIT

#946-556

The HeatWave Air Duct Kit increases the effectiveness of your ﬁ replace by dispersing warm air from the ﬁ replace to remote locations in the same room or other rooms in your home.

Up to two kits may be installed on the ﬁ replace. Please Note: Only 1 HeatWave kit may be operated at one time. This includes the internal blower option as well.

OPTIONAL

HEAT RELEASE KIT

#946-570

The Heat Release Kit expels warm air from the ﬁ replace to the outside of the building, allowing the ﬁ replace to be operated with less heat entering the room. The kit may be used on either the left or right side.

CLEARANCES

The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated:

A major cause of chimney related ﬁ res is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance that this ﬁ replace and vent system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.

Clearance to Combustibles from: Back 0" (0mm) Side 0" (0mm) Floor 0" (0mm)

NOTE: The minimum ﬂ oor clearance must be maintained from the top surface of the carpeting, tile, etc.

Side Wall Clearance 6-1/2" (165mm)

Horizontal Vent Clearances

Top 2-1/2" (64mm) Side 1-1/2" (38mm) Bottom 1-1/2" (38mm)

Vertical Vent Clearances 1-1/4" (32mm)

* see mantle clearance instructions (Refer to the "Combustible Mantels" section).

WARNING:

Fire hazard is an extreme risk

if these clearances are not

adhered to.

Clearances for HeatWave and

Heat Release Kit

The HeatWave Duct Kit and the Heat Release Kit have different clearance and framing requirements, check the HeatWave and Heat Release manual for details.

Excalibur® P90 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 7

INSTALLATION

COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS

Because of the extreme heat this ﬁ replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.

Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in Diagram below.

Note: A non-combustible mantel may be

installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.

These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches) Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale.

Note: Ensure the paint that is used

on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.

P90 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit

The P90 Flat Wall Surround, Hearth Pad and Tile Kit cannot be modiﬁ ed in any way. It must be installed as manufactured.

FRAMING AND

FINISHING

1) Determine the total thickness of facing

material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the ﬁ nished surface to be ﬂ ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1" (32mm) thick.

Install Top Standoffs & Side Nailing Strips before unit is slipped into position. See the "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation" section for assembly details.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with

framing material. The framed opening is

46-3/8" high x 46-1/2" wide x 19-1/2" deep

(1168mm high x 1181mm wide x 495mm deep).

P90 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit Speciﬁ cations

UNIT BASE STAND-OFFS

To accommodate varying thicknesses and ﬁ nishes of hearth materials, we have increased the overall height of the appliance by a further 1 1/8”. This increase is added with the inclusion of two stand-offs at the bottom of the unit, below the outer box, taking the overall height of the framing dimensions from 45-1/4” up to 46-3/8”.

In the event that you should choose to use thinner materials to ﬁ nish the hearth, you can omit the stand-offs provided for raising the unit. However, we recommend that you leave the framing dimensions as they are in the manual and alter only the facing requirement by reducing it by the same distance that you have lowered the unit.

Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath the unit as shown in the diagram below. Space the stand-offs centrally, approximately 2 or 2-1/2 feet apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.

INSTALLATION

4) Note: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the vent to combustible materials for both rigid and ﬂ ex, see the "Clearances" section.

Note: 4 8 " ( 1121 9 m m )

is the minimum height for both ﬂ ex termination or Rigid Pipe venting.

The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clearance and framing requirements, check the HeatWave manual for details.

FACING REQUIREMENT

This ﬁ replace requires a non-combustible material extending from the framing header and sides.

The ﬂ anges on the front face of the ﬁ replace are for a facing thickness of 1" (25mm).

Facing Over 1" (25mm) Thick

If the facing material is over 1" (25mm) thick (example: brick or river rock), install the facing around the perimeter of the face. You may wish to make a face template as shown on the diagram.

FPI offers a cover plate template. See next page.

NOTE: If using a brick hearth, the ﬁ replace will need to be raised to accommodate the brick thickness. Example: If the brick is 2" thick, the unit must be raised 1".

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS

Floor Mounted Fireplaces

Raised Fireplaces

Please note that all vertical measurements are taken from the base of the unit excluding risers or bottom stand-offs.

No hearth is required when

UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped into position.

Top Standoff Assembly

The top standoffs are shipped in a ﬂ at position and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the ﬁ replace top.

2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-punched screw holes on the ﬁ replace top line up.

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P90 uses the "balanced ﬂ ue" technology Co-axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney.

Note: These flue pipes must not be

connected to any other appliance.

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

3) Bring cover plate towards the unit and hook

top clip over and behind the glass frame.

The top clip may need to be adjusted. Loosen

the 2 screws that secure the top clip to let the cover plate settle over and behind the glass frame. Once settled tighten screws.

TO REMOVE:

1) Remove 2 screws that secure top clip. Ensure

to hold cover plate as it will fall forward.

2) Pull out top clip that is still hooked onto

glass.

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite corners).

Side Nailing Strips

The side nailing strips come attached to the unit. There are 2 plates, one on the top and bottom that can be folded out as required.

INSTALLATION

RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS

The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are:

1 Horizontal Termination Cap 1 90o Elbow 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor 1 Wall Thimble 1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness (see chart) 1 4" x 6-5/8" to 5" x 8" increaser for 5" x 8" venting

Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff, to create a level surface to mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness including furring strips.

If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.

WARNING:

Do not combine venting components from different venting systems.

However use of the the AstroCapTM and FPI Riser is acceptable with all systems.

This product has been evaluated by Intertek for using a Rigid Pipe Adaptor in conjunction with Duravent Direct-Vent GS, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Ameri Vent Direct venting and Security Secure Vent systems. Use of these systems with the Rigid Pipe adaptor is deemed acceptable and does not affect the Intertek WHI listing of components.

When using Rigid Vent other than

Simpson Dura-Vent, 3 screws must be

used to secure rigid pipe to adaptor.
