This replace must be installed by a qualied
(certied 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
qualied 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 inuence 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.

• 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

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 conguration 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 modication 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 congurations
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 conguration
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
111250-01H9
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).

This will cause a re hazard.
6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position the
horizontal vent cap in the center of the 7
3
/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.

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
1.
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 roong nails. Be sure roong
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 rooines, 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.

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.

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 replace, 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 heater modulates to the pilot position, the blower will
continue to run. The blower will shut off
after the rebox temperature 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. 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

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 conguration 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 qualied 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 qualied 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.
