SAFETY

Continued

This replace complies with the National Safety Standards and is listed and tested by PFS Corporation to ANSI Z21.50/CSA 2.22 standard as vented gas replace.

NOTICE: Decorative product not for use as a heating appliance.

This replace must be installed by a qualied (certied or licensed) service person. It has a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe (pipe within a pipe and having the same center) venting system. It brings in fresh air for combustion through the outer pipe

and combustion gases are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass door assembly and venting pipe are not properly seated, connected, and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage

(spillage) can occur. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u,

with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the replace may not have been

installed properly. Get fresh air at once! Have replace inspected and serviced by a qualied service person. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include

pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inuence of alcohol,

and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP and Natural Gas: Propane/LP and natural gases are odorless. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to

the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your direct-vent replace:

• The venting system may be routed to the

outside of your home in several ways. It may vent through the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The

vent pipe installation is very important to

allow for proper operation. You must follow

the venting instructions very carefully for

either vertical or horizontal applications.

• This replace may be installed in any room

of your house provided all local codes and

these installation instructions are followed.

• This replace does not require electricity

to operate.

• Only the blower requires electricity if in-

stalled and if you plan to install the blower at a later date, do not forget to wire the outlet at the bottom of the replace when

framing.

• A piezo ignitor and ceramic electrode cre-

ate spark to ignite the pilot light. It does not

require any matches, batteries or any other

sources of ignition to light the pilot.

• Each time you turn on your replace, you

may notice some amount of condensation

on the inside of the replace glass. This is normal and will disappear after 10-20

minutes of operation.

• Your direct-vent gas fireplace system

(replace and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas operating unit. It requires ap-

proximately 10-20 minutes of operating

time before the ame pattern stabilizes.

PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efcient location for your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC direct-vent replace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is

not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts,

windows or doors. Figure 2 shows some common locations. Be aware of all restrictions and

precautions before deciding the exact location

for your replace and termination cap. When deciding the location of your replace,

follow these rules:

• Do not connect this replace venting to a chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel burning replace or appliance.

• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty

areas or near furniture or draperies.

• Proper clearances must be maintained.

• If your replace is to be installed directly on

carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible ma-

terial other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the replace. See

Figure 3.

• Your replace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing

material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the back, sides or top of

your replace, except where standoff spacers

are integrally attached. If standoff spacers

are attached to your replace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing

material. See framing details on page 7.

• If you plan on installing a television or

entertainment center recessed above

your replace, it is recommended that you

maintain a minimum 18" above top of louver opening.

• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances

shown in Figure 7, page 8.

• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by positioning your replace against

an already existing framing member.

• Do not recess termination cap into a wall

or siding.

• You may paint the termination cap with 450º F (232º C) heat-resistant paint to coordinate

www.fmiproducts.com

with the exterior nish.

• There must not be any obstruction such

as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks

or utility buildings within 24" from the front

of the termination cap.

• Do not locate termination cap where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls

to prevent accidental blockage of venting

system. When using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent termination area.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these in-

structions will void the warranty.

ing installation.

These models are tested and approved for

use with FMI PRODUCTS, LLC (direct-vent)

pipe components and terminations. The venting system must terminate on the

outside of the structure and can not be at-

tached to a chimney or ue system serving a

separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.

A direct-vent appliance must have its own venting system. DO NOT common vent this

appliance. These models are approved to be vented

either horizontally through an outside wall or

vertically through a roof or chase enclosure

using the following guidelines:

• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall, you may install

a standoff if the termination cap is to be

installed directly on a combustible nish such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.

• Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a re.

• Vent pipe air space clearances to com-

bustibles are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal sections, which requires 2" clearance from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible

wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

• Snorkel terminations are required when

minimum clearance to grade cannot be

met (see Figure 16 on page 12).

• Have replace and selected vent compo-

nents on hand to help determine the exact

measurements when elbowing or offsetting. Always use wall restops when penetrating walls and restops when penetrating ceil-

ings or attic spaces.

• If using a venting conguration of only horizontal venting with no vertical run, a 1/4" rise for every 12" of run toward the termination is required.

WARNING: Read all instruc-

tions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation.

Failure to do so could result in

serious injury, property damage or loss of life.

111986-01K 9

www.fmiproducts.com

NOTICE: Do not seal termination

cap to vent pipe. Cap must be removable for vent inspection and maintenance.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection

• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings

The following actions will void the warranty

on your venting system:

• Installation of any damaged venting component

• Unauthorized modication of the venting system (Do not cut or alter vent components)

• Installation of any component part not

manufactured or approved by FMI PROD-

UCTS, LLC.

• Installation other than as instructed by

these instructions

WARNING: This gas replace and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each direct-vent gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems.

WARNING: Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except

on the horizontal sections,

which require 2" clearances from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent

installation:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

Horizontal Termination Installation

IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations require only inner portion of wall restop. Horizontal installations using round termination require exterior portion of wall restop available only in vent kit HTK (see Figure 14, page 12).

1. Set replace in its desired location and determine the route your horizontal venting will take. Do not secure replace until all

venting has been installed. Some instal-

lations require sliding replace in and out of position to make nal venting connec-

tions. Figures 14 through 18 on pages 12

through 14 show different congurations for venting with horizontal termination that will help you decide which application best suits your installation. Check to see if wall

studs or roof rafters are in the path of your desired venting route. If they are, you may

want to adjust location of replace.

2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are designed with special twist-lock connections.

Twist-Lock Procedure: Female ends of

pipes have locking lugs (indentations). These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on male ends of adjacent pipes. Push pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise approximately onequarter turn until sections are fully locked (see Figure 8). Note: Horizontal runs of

vent must be supported every three feet. Use wall straps for this purpose.

3. Use a 45° elbow to connect venting system to replace ue collar. The elbow is designed to be twist-locked onto the ue

collar as described in step 2.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to alter

conguration of elbow by cutting, twisting,

bending, etc.

4. Assemble desired combination of pipe

and elbows to replace ue collar. If there

are long portions of venting run, preassembled pipe sections may be installed as subassemblies for convenience.

Continued

5. Carefully determine the location where vent pipe assembly will penetrate outside wall. The center of hole should line up with center line of horizontal vent pipe. Mark wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. Cut and frame square hole in exterior wall where vent will be terminated. If wall being pen-

etrated is constructed of noncombustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 7 3/4" hole with zero clearance is

acceptable (see Figure 9).

VENTING INSTALLATION

Continued

WARNING: Do not recess

vent termination into any wall. This will cause a re hazard.

6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Posi-

tion horizontal vent cap in the center of 7

/4" round hole and attach to exterior wall with four wood screws provided. Before attaching vent cap to exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable sealant) around outside edges to make a seal between it and outside wall.

Note: The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete or other types of sidings.

Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl

siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding standoff may be installed between vent cap and exterior wall. The siding standoff

prevents excessive heat from damaging siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt vent cap to standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of standoff.

Position standoff/cap assembly in the center of the 10" square hole and attach to exterior wall with wood screws provided (see Figure 11). Siding standoff must sit ush against exterior fascia material.

7. Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide

wall restop over vent pipe before connecting horizontal run to vent cap (see Figure 12).

8. Carefully move replace, with vent assembly attached, toward wall and insert vent pipe into horizontal termination. Pipe

overlap should be a minimum of 1 1/4" (see

Figure 13, page 12).

9. Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide

wall restop against interior wall surface and attach with screws provided. See Figure 13, page 12, for horizontal termination

details.

10. Place replace into position and shim with noncombustible material if needed. Nail or screw side anges to framing to secure unit in place. IMPORTANT: Make sure re- place is level before securing. If replace is not level it will not work properly.

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL

TERMINATION

Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed in all vertical installations.

1. Determine the route your vertical venting

will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset (see Figure 19)

to avoid cutting load bearing members. Note: Pay special attention to these instal-

lation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures,

attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any

maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2. Set the replace in desired location. Drop a plumb line down from the ceiling to the position of the replace exit ue. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate

the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Drop a plumb line from the inside of the

roof to the locating hole in the ceiling.

Mark the center point where the vent will

penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Roof Flashing

Flat Ceiling Installation

Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling using

the locating hole as a center point. The opening should be framed to 10" x 10"

inside dimensions, as shown in Figure 9

on page 10 using framing lumber the same

size as the ceiling joists. If the area above

the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or attic

space, nail restop from the top side. This

prevents loose insulation from falling into

the required clearance space. If the area

above the ceiling is a living space, install

restop below the framed hole. The restop should be installed with no less than three nails per side (see Figure 20).

2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe

and elbows necessary to reach from the replace ue up through the restop. Be sure all pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked (see Figure 8, page 10).

3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating

hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.)

The 10" x 10" hole must be measured on

the horizontal; actual length may be larger

depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. Frame the opening

as shown in Figure 9, page 10.

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.

If area above is an attic or insulated area,

install restop above framed hole.

Wall Strap

If area above is a living space, install

VENTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Continued

Note: If an offset is needed to avoid

obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 19, page 15). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less

restriction to the ow of the ue gases

and intake air.

5. Place the ashing over the pipe section(s)

extending through the roof. Secure the

base of the ashing to the roof and framing with roong nails. Be sure roong

material overlaps the top edge of the

ashing as shown in Figure 19, page 15.

There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.

6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum

building code requirements described in

Figure 7 on page 8.

Note: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining

rooines, steep pitched roofs and other

similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.

7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last section of vent pipe.

Note: If the vent pipe passes through any oc-

cupied areas above the rst oor, including

storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure and meet the minimum allowable

clearances to combustibles. Do not ll any of

the required air spaces with insulation.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect replace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This replace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the replace and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: For natural gas, never connect fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Continued

black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" inside diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to replace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing replace, make sure you have the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes)

* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT

tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge

connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff

valve from your retailer.

For propane/LP connection only, the installer

must supply an external regulator. The ex-

ternal regulator will reduce incoming gas

pressure. You must reduce incoming gas

pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If

you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,

replace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 30. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

www.fmiproducts.com

Figure 30 - External Regulator with Vent

Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only)

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from replace (see Figure 31, page 23).

IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location.

The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special

requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to replaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from

going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could

result in clogged replace valves.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Continued

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment

trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure

31. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and replace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps

moisture and contaminants. This keeps them

from going into replace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, replace may not run properly.

OPERATING OPTIONAL

BLOWER ACCESSORY

Locate the blower controls by opening the lower louver panel on the replace. Blower

controls are located on the left side of the

switch bracket to the left just inside the louver

panel.

The BK manual blower and the BKT thermostatically-controlled blower have an ON setting and an OFF setting. The blower will only run when the switch is in the ON position. In the OFF position, the blower will not

operate. Note for BKT Only: If you are using BKT

blower with optional thermostat (wall mounted or remote control) for the fireplace, your replace and blower will not turn on and off at the same time. The replace may run for several minutes before the blower turns on.

After the fireplace modulates to the pilot

position, the blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the rebox tempera-

ture decreases.

The blower helps distribute heated air from the replace. Periodically check the louvers of the rebox and remove any dust, dirt, or other obstructions that will hinder the ow of air.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame

patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper

ame height. Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. Call a qualied service person to readjust the pilot if necessary.

The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 1/2" above pilot ame as shown if Figure

51. The thermocouple must be at a height of

about 1/8" above the pilot ame. The ame

from the pilot burner must extend beyond both the thermocouple and thermopile.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these

requirements:

• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

Appliance, page 29)

• see Troubleshooting, page 33

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off replace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners, and circulating air passageways of replace clean. Inspect these areas of replace before each use. Have replace inspected yearly by a qualied service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care. Do not strike, slam, or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate replace with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.

Figure 51 - Pilot Assembly

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner ames will be steady; not lifting or oating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.

If the vent conguration is installed incorrectly, the ames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the ames after installation to

ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 52 shows a typical ame pattern. If burner ame pattern differs from that described:

• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 29)

• see Troubleshooting, page 33

Figure 52 - Typical Flame Pattern

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust, and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial start-up a slight

lm may form on the glass due to paint curing.

The glass should be cleaned several times

with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the rst two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during each heating

season, depending on the usage and circumstances present. Refer to Removing/Replac- ing Glass Door on page 25 of this manual

when removing glass door for cleaning.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Continued

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page

37). This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while handling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove

glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 25). Vacuum all glass pieces with

a shop vacuum.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if

pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replacement intended for this replace (see Replacement Parts, page 37, for detail on ordering). No

substitutions may be made. See Removing/ Replacing Glass Door, page 25, for instructions

for replacing glass door.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to

Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing Embers, page 27, to properly replace logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any

carbon buildup on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 37.

•

Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement Parts on page 37.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting

system following these guidelines:

1. Check areas of venting system that are

exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust

spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,

holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a qualied service person.

2. Remove the vent cap and shine a ash-

light into the vent. Remove any foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive con-

densation. Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings and can be caused by having

excessive lateral runs, too many elbows,

or exterior portions of the system being

exposed to cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section

or tting has been disturbed and loos-

ened. Check mechanical supports such

as wall straps for rigidity.

WARNING: Do not operate replace with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.

PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace when cleaning is

complete.

• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to remove dust, dirt,

or lint.

• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled

brush to remove excess dust, dirt, or lint.
