Figure 4. Pilot Flame
aiR shutteR (VentuRi):
The air shutter adjustment lever is underneath the rebox (see Figure 5).
The air shutter allows the amount of air mixing with the incoming gas to be adjusted in order to
accommodate different climates and venting arrangements. Start the pilot and then the burner. Make
sure the pilot ame is burning normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the replace burn
for roughly fteen minutes and then examine the ames for impingement or soot build up.
The ideal ame will be blue at the base and light orange above. The ames should be of medium height.
If the ames look like this, no venturi adjustment is needed. If the ames are fairly short and mostly
blue, the replace is getting too much
air. Therefore, the air shutter should

Maintenance And Service
Routine maintenance:
At least once a year, run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working
properly. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not
blocked by anything. The pilot ame should be blue with little or no yellow on the tips.
Warning: Clearances must be sufcient to allow access for maintenance and service
Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts
specically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The venting system must be periodically examined; it is recommended the examination is done by a
qualied agency.
cLeaning the gLass:
When the replace has cooled, remove the face of the replace (if applicable) along with the glass
door. See MaIntenance anD serVIce - Glass Door reMoVal. Check the gasket material on the back of the
glass, making sure that it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with
all gas replaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial
paint curing of the appliance can leave a slight lm behind the glass, a temporary problem. The glass
will need cleaning about two weeks after installation. Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
Abrasive cleaners will damage the glass and painted surfaces. Depending on the amount of use,
the glass should require cleaning no more than two or three times a season. Do not clean the glass
when it is hot.
cLeaning the fiRebox:
Remove all of the glass media from the tray, a vacuum cleaner with an empty canister or new bag works
best. At this time, inspect the burner tray for cracking or severe warping. If a problem is suspected,
contact the dealer. Check the glass media for large amounts of soot; a small amount on the bottom side
of the glass is normal. Re-install the glass as in the Secondary Installation - Glass Media Installation
section. If new or glass is required, contact your nearest ENVIRO dealer.
RePLacingthe gLass:
The glass in the replace is a high temperature ceramic. If the glass is damaged in any way, a factory
replacement is required (see Parts lIst). Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door assembly
to prevent personal injury. Do not operate with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Removal
and replacement of the glass from the door must be done by a licensed or qualied service person.
The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials are allowed.
Remove the door (see page 10). The replacement glass will come with a new gasket installed. Remove
any silicone remnants from the door. Apply high temperature silicone to all four faces of the door and
install the new piece of glass with gasket (be sure to maintain edge clearances). Apply even pressure to
the glass to allow the silicone to adhere to the gasket material.
Page 9
Maintenance And Service
cLeaning DecoRatiVe suRfaces:
Painted and porcelain faces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically. If a plated face has been
purchased, it should be unpacked/unwrapped carefully to avoid getting anything on the surface of the
nish, including cleaners, polish and nger prints. It is important to note that ngerprints and other
marks can leave a permanent stain on plated nishes. To avoid this, give the face a quick wipe with denatured alcohol on a soft cloth BEFORE lighting the replace. Never clean the face when it is
hot. Do not use other cleaners as they may leave a residue, which can become permanently etched into
the surface.
gLass DooR RemoVaL:
The door needs to be removed for
sceduled cleaning and to install the
glass media and other options.
To remove the glass door use your
two index ngers to pull the spring
latches up over the two door tabs.
Once release pivot the door to out
and pull it out of the bottom door
retainers. The door must be angled
in order for it to pull out.

A 10” (254 mm) x 10” (254 mm) frame (see Figure 22) will assure the proper support and spacing for
the vent pipe as it passes through the wall. Installations in Canada require that a wall thimble be used for
passing through walls and ceilings. All sealing and vapour barriers must comply with local building codes.
The conguration of the venting pipes depends on the locations
of walls, ceilings, and studs. However, the pipes cannot be of
arbitrary length and arrangement. Because the length of the
vertical and horizontal sections dramatically affects the burning
efciency of the replace, certain guidelines have been set in
The Q2G replace has been tested and certied for use with AMERICAN METAL PRODUCTS “AMERIVENT
DIRECT”, SIMPSON DURAVENT TYPE GS PIPE FOR GAS STOVES. SECURITY CHIMNEY’S “SECURE VENT
DIRECT VENT SYSTEM” and SELKIRK “DIRECT-TEMP VENT SYSTEM” kits are available for horizontal and
vertical venting. When using Simpson Duravent, it is recommended that, before installation, a bead of
RTV High Temperature Silicone should be applied to each outer vent joint, and Mil-Pac to each inner
joint. When planning an installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for the
particular requirements.
WARNING: Do not mix parts from different vent manufacturers’ systems.

Figures 23 shows the range of venting options for top vented congurations only using either vertical
or horizontal terminations; any layout that remains within the shaded area is acceptable. Having the
fewest number of elbows is ideal as they tend to disrupt air movement. Using 45˚ elbows is preferable to
using 90˚ elbows. Also, a shorter vent system will perform better than a longer one. The total length of
horizontal vent pipe can not exceed 20 feet (6.1m) and the total vent length can not exceed 40ft (12.2m).

hoRizontaL teRmination:
NOTES:
1. Horizontal pipes must not be level. For every 12” (305 mm) of horizontal travel (away
from the stove), there should be at least ¼” (6.4 mm) of vertical travel. Never allow
the vent to run downward, as this could cause high temperatures or even present the
possibility of a re.
2. The exterior of the horizontal
vent termination must not be
blocked or obstructed.
3. If the vent termination is not
being attached to wood, the
four wood screws provided
should be replaced with
material appropriate fasteners.
4. For buildings with vinyl siding,
a vinyl standoff should be
installed between the vent cap
and the exterior wall. Attach
the vinyl siding standoff to
the horizontal termination.
Note that the termination
bolts onto the at portion of
the standoff, providing an air
space between the wall and
the vent termination. The air
gap prevents excessive heat
from possibly melting the vinyl
siding.
5. Horizontal pipes must be
supported every 3’ (914 mm).

6. When running horizontal pipe, clearances to combustibles must be maintained 1½ inches (38 mm)
sides, 1½ inches (38 mm) bottom, and 2” (51 mm) top.
Step 1.
Set the replace in the desired location. Check to determine if wall studs will be in the way when
the venting system is attached. If this is the case, the location of the replace may have to be
adjusted or the venting may have to be offset.
Step 2. Direct vent pipe sections are designed with special twist-lock connections. Dry t the desired
combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor.
Step 3. With the pipe in the correct position and attached to the replace, mark the wall for a 10”
(25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) square hole (see Figure 24). The center of the hole should match
the center line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior wall where the
vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is made of a non-combustible material (i.e.
masonry or concrete) a 7” (17.8 cm) hole is acceptable.
Page 22

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
NOTE: For Simpson Duravent only, place a bead of Mil-Pac or Rutland No 78 Stove and Gasket Cement
on the outer edge of the inner exhaust pipe (non-ared end). Push the pipe sections together, then twist
about ¼ turn, making sure the two sections are fully locked. Wrap all seams with foil ducting tape.
Step 4.
With the hole now framed, the wall thimble installed, and the pipe extending into the wall,
proceed to the outside. Attach the termination to the pipe using RTV and Mil-Pac or Rutland No
78 Stove and Gasket Cement to seal joints. The vent pipe must extend into the vent cap at least
1¼ inches (3.2 cm). Secure the connection between the vent cap and the pipe by attaching
the two (2) sheet metal straps, which extend from the vent cap assembly to the outer wall of
the vent pipe. Bend any remaining portion of the strap back towards the vent cap. Security
Secure Vent uses a twist lock cap.
Step 5.
Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10” (25.4 cm) square hole and
attach to the exterior wall with the four screws provided. The arrow on the vent termination
should be pointing up. Run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the edges of the vent
cap, to make a seal with the wall. Ensure the proper clearances to combustibles have been
maintained.
VeRticaL teRmination:
Step 1. Check the instructions for required clearances (air spaces) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces.
Do not pack air spaces with insulation.
Step 2. Set the gas appliance in the desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to
the position of the appliance ue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole
previously drilled in the ceiling, mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine
if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system. You may wish to
relocate the appliance, or to offset, to avoid cutting load bearing members.
Step 3. To install the Round
Support Box/Wall Thimble
in a at ceiling, cut a 10
“ (25.4 cm) square hole
in the ceiling, centered in
the hole drilled in Step 2.
Frame the hole as shown
in Figure 25.
Step 4.
Assemble the desired
lengths of black pipe
and elbows necessary to
reach from the appliance
adapter up through the
Round Support Box.
Insure that all pipe and
elbow connections are
in their fully twist-locked
position.

Step 5. Cut hole in the roof centered on the small hole placed in the roof from Step 2. The hole should
be of sufcient size to meet minimum requirements for Clearance to Combustibles, as specied.
Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling support
box up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well
as above the roof line. The galvanized nish is desirable above the roof line, due to the higher
corrosion resistance.
Step 6.
Once the pipe sections have been joined, and run up through the hole in the roof, slip an elbow
strap over the exposed sections, bend the support straps outwards, and push the elbow strap
down to the roof level, as shown in Figure 25. Tighten the clamp around the pipe section. Use
a level to make sure the pipe is truly vertical. With roong nails, secure the support straps to
the roof. Seal the nails holes heads with non-hardening mastic. Trim the excess length of the
support straps that extend out beyond the edge of the ashing.
Step 7.
Slip the ashing over the pipe section protruding through the roof. Secure the base of the
ashing to the roof with roong nails. Use a non-hardening sealant between the uphill edge
of the ashing and the roof. Insure the roong material overlaps the top edge of the ashing.
Verify that you have at least the minimum clearance to combustibles at the roof line.
Step 8.
Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum code
requirements. Refer to Figure 26 and Table 7. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height
must be increased. In high wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases,
increasing the vent height may solve the problem.
Step 9.
Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the top of the roof ashing as shown
in Figure 25. Use the non-hardening sealant around the joint between the pipe and the storm
collar.
Step 10. Twist-lock the vent cap.

NOTES:
(1)
If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid
obstructions, it is important to support the vent
pipe every 3’ (914 mm), to avoid excessive stress
on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose (see Figure 27).
(2) When ever possible, use 45° degree elbows instead
of 90° degree elbows. The 45° degree elbow offers
less restriction to the ow of ue gases and intake
air.
(3)
For multi story installations; a ceiling restop is
required at the second oor, and any subsequent
oors (see Figure 28). The opening should be

fan cover plate with the (10) screws at the rear of the unit using a 1/4” socket (see
Figure 3); slot the fan into the silicone retainers on the opposite side as shown in
Figure 4.
4b. If the appliance is already installed into a construction enclosure you will need to
consult your Q2 owners manual on how to remove the interior rebox components.
Once they are removed see Figure 5 on how to remove the valve tray using the (23)
T-20 screws. Be careful not to damage the sealing gasket - If gasket gets damaged
replace that section with high-temp silicone. Do not completely remove the valve tray
just lift it up enough to get the fan inside and mounted onto the silicone gromments
as shown in Figure 4.
5. Attach one short and one long black wire to the fan terminals - push the other end of
the short wire through the electrical box bushing and attach it to the black incoming
power source wire by using a supplied male wire terminal. Incoming power should
be routed through the rear of the unit into the electrical box. Ensure the incoming
ground wire is well connected to interior of the electrical box ground screw.
6. Mount the temperature sensor in the retainer already mounted to the bottom of the
rebox. Continue to wire the circuit as shown in Figure 6. Double check to be sure
all wiring is correct then install the electrical box cover that came with the appliance.
Replace all components and ip the circuit break to the on position.
7. The fan will not turn on until 120F or 49C has been reached under the replace. The
fan will continue to run even after the appliance has turned off until the temperature
has dropped below the set point (this could be up to 20 minutes after shut down).
