CODES AND APPROVALS CONTINUED

RE: CONVERSION OF ZERO CLEARANCE FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES

The following instructions cover Sherwood Industries Ltd. policy for Gas-Fired Appliances (inserts) to be retofitted
into existing factory built fireplaces with replacement parts removed.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Background

A gas fired insert is approved for use in an existing masonry or a listed factory built fireplace without any
alterations. If the factory or masonry fireplace is altered its warranty is void.

Recent practice in the field is to remove parts that do not require cutting, bending or breaking from the factory
built fireplace in order to allow the insert to fit.

Sherwood Industries Ltd. Policy:

Intertek has approved listed factory built fireplaces, as a certified zero clearance kit provided that the following
conditions have been met.

1. The removal of any part will not weaken the stuctural integrity of the factory built fireplace.

2. The factory built fireplace is in good condition.

3. There is no alterations in the form of cutting, bending, or breaking any parts.

4. Firebricks may be removed.

5. A permanent label must be supplied with the insertwith the instructions to affix it to the firebox of the
factory built fireplace. It will have the wording to the effect :

‘’WARNING- THIS FIRPLACE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WITH A GAS INSERT­REMOVAL OF THE INSERT AND THE USE OF SOLID FUEL IS PROHIBITED AND

MAY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD"

REPLACEMENT PARTS INCLUDE:
Fire bricks, smoke sheild, flue damper, glass doors, and firescreens.

C. Minimum firebox size W 27" x H 22” x D 17"

(W 68.5 x H 55.8 x D 43.1 cm)

Maintain sufficient clearances for operation, service and maintenance

3. VENTING

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE BY DRAWING COMBUSTION AIR AND

DILUTION AIR FROM THE ROOM. IT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO DRAW ROOM AIR FOR PROPER HEAT CIRCULATION
FROM THE SIDES OF THE UNIT. BLOCKING OR MODIFYING THE LOUVERS IN ANY WAY CAN CREATE HAZARDOUS
SITUATIONS, EITHER THROUGH POOR VENTING OR BY OVERHEATING. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS UNIT HAS
SUFFICIENT AIR CIRCULATION FOR PROPER VENTING AND COMBUSTION. PROVISIONS MUST BE MADE FOR THE
SUPPLY OF ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR. THESE OPENINGS MUST NOT BE BLOCKED. THE
APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING
APPLIANCE.

AUTOMATIC FLUE GAS SPILL SWITCH

NOTE: THIS HEATER MUST BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO A VENTING SYSTEM. THIS HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH
A VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PROTECT AGAINST IMPROPER VENTING OF COMBUSTION
PRODUCTS. THIS SAFETY SWITCH IS LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THE APPLIANCE CLOSE TO
THE DRAFT HOOD RELIEF OPENING.IF THE SWITCH TRIPS MORE THAN ONCE THE VENTING SHOULD BE
INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR POSSIBLE BLOCKAGE OR SEVERE DOWN DRAFT
CONDITIONS

The draft hood must be in the same pressure zone as the air inlet. To inspect draft from the front of the unit, Remove top
louvers by pulling up and out. Locate the 3/8” tube between the heat exchanger and top, check for a draft using smoke. A
vacuum or suction into the tube will indicate proper drafting.

This model can be vented with 4" aluminum or stainless steel flex vent and/or certified Type B Gas Vent. The flue collar of the
appliance will fit inside of a standard 4” vent and may be fastened directly to the vent.
Check periodically that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation.

3.VENTING FIREPLACE INSERTS

WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and

maintained venting system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

The Envirogas ACCENT 25 may be installed and vented into any solid fuel fireplace that has been installed in accordance with
the National, Provincial/State and local building codes and has been constructed of non-combustible materials.

An approved full length chimney liner and rain cap must be used. A throat connector or flashing must be installed, to ensure a
tight seal, top performance, safety and efficiency. Carefully follow the manufacturers instructions which accompany the
chimney liner kit.

Install sealed throat connector or flashing to prevent leakage of room air up through
chimney.

Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and purchase the appropriate kit.
Never attempt to over stretch a flexible liner to accommodate the height of the
chimney.

Make sure that all chimney clean outs are tightly fitting and will not permit air to leak
into the chimney.

The chimney must be clean, in good working order and constructed out of non­combustible materials.
Any flue damper must be removed or blocked permanently in the open position.

Remove the vent collar plate from the top of the insert and connect it securely with
sheet metal screws and/or hose clamps. Check for any tears in the liner at this
point. (See also Assembly and Installation Instructions section 3.

IMPORTANT: The screws that hold the vent collar plate in it's approved position

must be installed.

• Remove the packaging from the appliance and surround panels, check to make sure there is no damage.

• Carefully clean the fireplace and flue before installing the stove. Failure to do so may result in fumes or dirt being
