INSTALLATIONS REQUIRING ASSEMBLY TO BE SECURED TO WALL

1 Some codes

require that assembly must be installed securely to

walk Remove baseboard. Baseboard will prevent proper instal- lation of mantel. Baseboard must be altered to fit mantel.

Mantel must be attached to either a wall stud or wall anchor. Use :37" gauge stnp to determine correct height from floor to location of mounting strips (sec Figure 9). Use

level to

ensure

11101111t-

ing

strip is evenly balanced (see Figure 9). Adjust accordingly.

IMPORTANT:

Failure to balance mounting strips with a level

could result in uneven surfaces on fully assembled mantel.

If predrilled holes of mounting strip

line up

with wall studs,

fasten mounting strip to wall with 2" screws. If

predrilled holes

of mounting strip do not line up with wall studs, drill new holes in mounting strip or attach to wall with

wall

anchors

(see step 4)

To use wall

anchors, drill hole at marked location

using 5/16"

drill bit. Fold wall anchor (see Figure

10),

and insert (wings

first) into hole. Tap anchor flush into wall.

For thin

walls (1/2"

or less), insert

red key into wall anchor and push

to "pop" open

anchor wings (see Figure II).

IMPORTANT:

Do not hammer key! For thick walls (over 112" thick) or solid walls, do not pop open wings.

Align predrilled holes in mounting strip with wall anchors. Attach to wall anchors

using 2" screws.

After final assembly drill small (1/16") pilot holes through

top of mantel and into strip to keep nails from bending. Nail the top of the assembly to the

strip with 1 '/4" finishing nails.

Fill nail

holes with wood putty. Touch up paint on painted mantels.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

WARNING:

This fireplace shall not be installed in a con- fined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate com- bustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to in-

sure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in

your home.

Today's homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes, Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy effi- cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces. clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure printer venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from

National Fuel

Gas Code, A A 151 Z223. UNITA 54. Sedion 53, Air

for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol- lowing ventilation classifications:

I. Unusually Tight Construction

Unconfined Space

Confined Space

The information

on pages

6through g will help you

classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and

windows

may

provide enough fresh air for combustion and yen Illation. However, in buildings of unusually tight

construction, you must provide additional fresh air.



www.desatech.com



1131104)IB

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

Continued

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:

walls and ceilings exposed to the out- side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10

" kg per pa-sec-m

) or less with openings gasketed or sealed

and

weather stripping has been added on

openable windows and doors

and

caulking or sealants are applied to ar- eas such as joints around window and

door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, be- tween wall panels, at penetrations for

plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If your home meets all of these three crite- ria, you must provide additional fresh air. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors,

pages.

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-

Alr

Row For Fireplace Location,

below.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 1223.I/NFPA

defines a confined space as a space whose vol-

ume is less than SO cubic feet pee

1,000 RR,

per

hour (4.8

per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an un- confined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw ) of the aggregate input rating of all ap- pliances installed in that space. Rooms communi- cating directly with the space lit which the appli- ances are installed*, through openings not fur- nished with doors, are considered a part of the

unconfined Space. *Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there

are doorless passageways or ventilation grills be- tween them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR FIREPLACE LOCATION

Determining

Y ou Have a Confined or

Unconfined Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.

Space:

Includes the room in which you will in- stall fireplace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms_

I. Determine the volume of the space (length x

width s height).

Length x Width s Height =



cu. ft.

(volume of space)

Example:

Space site id ft. (length) x 14 ft.

(width) x 8 it. (ceiling height) = 1792 Cu- ft. (vol-

ume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is sup- plied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine

the maximum Btu/Ht the space cart support.

The space in the above example is a confined space

because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum BM/Iir the space can support. You

must

provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

Rework worksheet, adding the space of an ad- joining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See

Install a lower Btu/HI-fireplace, if lower Btuillr

size makes room unconfined. If the actual Rtufblr used is less than the maxi- mum Blair the space can support, the space is

an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: If

the area in which the fireplace may be op- erated is smaller than that de- fined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide ad-

equate combustion and ventila-

tion air by one of the methods

described in the

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining un- confined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two perma- nent openings: one within

2" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the

two

spaces (sec options 1 and 2, Figure 4). You can also remove dour into adjoining room (see option I Figure 4). Follow the

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent open

ings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within

12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to

the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These

spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance re- quires a 450 male flare fitting 5/8"- 18 UNF (Unified National Fine

Thread) inlet connection and the flexible gas line provided.

WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must connect fire- place to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never connect natural gas fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas

is commonly known as well- head gas.

IMPORTANT

For natural gas. check gas line pres-

sure before connecting fireplace to gas line_ Gas

line pressure must be no greater than 14 inches of water_ If gas line pressure is higher, heater regula- tor damage could occur.

CAUTION: Never connect pro- pane/LP fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This fireplace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP supply.

For propane/LP units, thc installer must supply an extemal regulator. The external regulator will re- duce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce in-

coming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches

of water. If you do not reduce Incoming gas pres-

sure. fireplace regulator damage could occur. In-

stall external regulator with the vent pointing down

as shown in Figure 20. Pointing the vent down

protects it from freezing ram or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter- nally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of

1/2"

or greater diameter to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT lap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 21,

Page 17)-

IMPORTANT:

Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special re- quirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from go- ing into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves.

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