SAFETY INFORMATION

Continued

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.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of

this replace.

WARNING: Any change to this replace or it’s controls can be dangerous. Do not modify this replace under any circumstances. Any parts removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating replace.

WARNING: This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases unless a certied kit is used.

PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you un-

derstand 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 (hori-

zontal). 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.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Continued

• This replace requires a wall switch, handheld remote or wall thermostat (millivolt) for operation (see Accessories, page 36).

• This replace does not require electricity

to operate.

• Only the blower requires electricity if installed 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 create 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.

• 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 spac-

ers are attached to your replace, these

spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing material. See framing details on page 6.

• If you plan on installing a television or entertainment center recessed above your re-

place, 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 7.

• 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 with the exterior nish.

• There must not be any obstruction such

as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks

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,

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.

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

VENTING INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICE: Read these instruc-

tions completely before attempting installation.

These models are tested and approved for

use with FMI PRODUCTS, LLC (direct-vent)

pipe components and terminations as well as Simpson-Duravent 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.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these in-

structions will void the warranty.

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 manufac-

tured or approved by FMI PRODUCTS, 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 termina-

tion require exterior portion of wall restop

available only in vent kit HTK (see Figure

14, page 11).

1. Set the replace in its desired location and

determine the route your horizontal venting

will take. Do not secure the replace until

all venting has been installed. Some instal-

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

nections. Figures 14 through 18 on pages

11 through 13 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 the location of the replace.

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

Twist-Lock Procedure: The female ends of

the pipes have locking lugs (indentations).

These lugs will slide straight into match-

ing slots on the male ends of adjacent

pipes. Push pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise approximately

one-quarter turn until the 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 sys-

tem 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 the conguration

of the elbow by cutting, twisting, bending, etc.

4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe

and elbows to the replace ue collar. If

there are long portions of venting run, preassembled pipe sections may be installed

111250-01H 9

INSTRUCTIONS

Continued

as subassemblies for convenience.

5. Carefully determine the location where the vent pipe assembly will penetrate the outside wall. The center of the hole should line up with the center-line of the horizontal vent pipe. Mark the wall for a

10" x 10" square hole. Cut and frame the square hole in the exterior wall where the

vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 7 3/4" hole with zero clearance

is acceptable (see Figure 9).

INSTRUCTIONS

Continued

Apply Mastic to All Four Sides

WARNING: Do not recess

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

6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position the horizontal vent cap in the center of the 7

/4" round hole and attach to the exterior wall with four wood screws provided. Before attaching the vent cap to exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic

(pliable sealant) around the outside edges

to make a seal between it and the 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 the vent cap and exterior wall. The siding standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging the siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of standoff. Position the standoff/cap assembly in the center of

the 10" square hole and attach to exterior

wall with wood screws provided (see Fig-

ure 11). The siding standoff must sit ush

against the exterior fascia material.

7. Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide the

wall restop over the vent pipe before

connecting horizontal run to vent cap (see

Figure 12).

8. Carefully move replace, with vent as-

sembly attached, toward wall and insert vent pipe into horizontal termination. The pipe overlap should be a minimum of 11/4"

(see Figure 13, page 11).

9. Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide wall

restop against interior wall surface and

attach with screws provided. See Figure 13, page 11, 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.

VENTING INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Roof Flashing

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.

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 9 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 9).

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 9.

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

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 14). 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 14.

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 7. 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.

Note: When installing BKT thermostaticallycontrolled blower, you must first secure thermal switch bracket to blower if it has not already been factory installed.

1. Place green ground wire with ring terminal between bottom hole on thermal switch bracket and top ear hole on blower assembly. Insert phillips screw into all three pieces

and tighten securely (see Figure 28).

2. Connect wire harness and power cord ter-

minals. Connect blue jumper wire to blower

motor terminal and right side terminal of thermal switch. Connect black wire to left side of thermal switch and white wire to other remaining blower motor terminal.

Note: Power cord outer insulation sleeve may have to be stripped slightly to allow enough wire length to reach and make all connections. DO NOT trim excessive length away. Just enable enough to make all connections securely.

3. Place blower against lower rear wall of rebox

outer wrapper with exhaust port directed upward and thermodisc positioned up near

replace bottom. Thermodisc must be oriented near replace bottom as shown in Figure 28

in order to sense temperature and properly operate. Blower will be held in position against back wall by magnets incorporated

onto blower housing (see Figure 28).

4. Be certain that all wire terminals are securely

attached to terminals on blower motor and thermal switch, and that screw for thermodisc bracket and green ground wire is tight.

5. Mount speed control box against mounting

plate provided in lower replace cavity by

placing plastic control shaft forward through

round hole (see Figure 26, page 18).

6. While supporting speed control, secure control shaft with lock nut by pushing and turning lock nut with pliers clockwise until it is tight against mounting plate. Place control knob provided

on shaft (see Figure 26, page 18).

7. Check to make sure power cord is completely clear of blower wheel and that no

other foreign objects are in blower wheel.

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)

* A 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 external 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.

Figure 29 - Blower Wiring Diagram for

Thermostat-Controlled Models

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 heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the replace and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: For natural

gas, never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

www.fmiproducts.com

CAUTION: Use only new,

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.

Continued

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).

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.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid

CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS SUPPLY

Installation Items Needed

• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)

1. Open lower louver door panel by gently

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 in-

stalled wrong, replace may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame

patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the

proper ame. Alterations may have occurred

during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on the back right hand side of the burner.

The ame must envelope 1/4" of top of the

ignitor/sensor and grounding stem. If your pilot assembly does not meet these

requirements:

• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT

clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to

increase the ame to proper size (see Figure

49). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

• see Troubleshooting, page 31

Figure 49 - 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 55 shows a typical ame pattern. If burner ame pattern differs from that de-

scribed:

• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 27)

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.

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 23 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

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

35). 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 23). Vacuum all glass pieces with

a shop vac.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if

pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replacement

intended for this replace (see Replacement Parts, page 35, for detail on ordering). No

substitutions may be made. See Removing/ Replacing Glass Door, page 23, for instructions

for replacing glass door.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to

Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing Embers, page 25, 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 35.

• Replace ember material periodically as

needed. See Replacement Parts on page

35.

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.
