available for this unit.
A non-combustible Hearth
Insulation Board is required
(supplied) to be installed
between any non-combustible
hearth covering and any
combustible ooring beneath.
The design of the unit is such
that the replace must be
raised by the same distance as
any additional hearth covering
or riser that are added in front
of the replace.
Figure 14 shows a raised
hearth made of a wooden
construction hearth riser (B),
covered with the insulation
board provided and then
covered with non-combustible
slate (A). The thickness of
the riser (B) is 4” (102mm).
The thickness of the slate (A)
is 2” (52mm). A+B=C which
is 6” (152mm). In summary,
the replace must be raised
by the same thickness of any
material added in front of the
replace, with exception of the
½” (13mm) Hearth Insulation
Board that was provided with
the unit.
Figure 13. Typical Framing for a Raised Hearth - General.
If the raised hearth is deeper
or wider than the Insulation
Board provided with the unit,
additional non-combustible
materials such as Backer Board
(cement board) can be used to
build up to the same thickness
as the Insulation Board.
All header, ceiling or shelf
dimensions are measured from
the oor that the replace sits
on. Failure to maintain minimum

Planning your inStallation
Figure 22. Receiver Installation.
The Receiver is the heart of the remote control system. You need to access this receiver after installation to change
the batteries (for operation during a power failure), to program a new remote / receiver combination and to operate
a manual override should you lose your remote control or the batteries in the remote control lose their power.
The Receiver is connected to the replace with a wire harness that has a maximum length of 8 ft (2.4m). The
connection point on the replace is on the right side of the unit, where the gas valve and electronic ignition module
is located. Because of the 8 ft (2.4m) limitation in the wiring harness, the receiver needs to be mounted to the
right side of the replace. An electrical box is provided for the receiver. Mount this electrical box as you would any
electrical outlet or switch box. Thread the cable and connector through the back of the electrical box and connect it
to the rear of the receiver. Secure the receiver into the electrical box. Once the facing of the replace installation is
complete, install the receiver cover, supplied with the unit as shown. The receiver cover also functions as a switch
plate and allows for access to the program button, critical for remote control operation.
Review the section in this manual regarding the remote control operations for more information on the functions
of the receiver.
aLLowabLe Vent conFiguRations:
The vent chart, in Figure 23, illustrates the vent congurations that have been tested and approved for use with
this appliance. 45˚ elbows are acceptable for this installation and may be used instead of 90˚ elbows. You may use
two (2) 45˚ elbows for every 90˚ elbow shown in this chart.
This appliance is also approved for use with 5” x 8” ex venting. For durability, safety and resistance to corrosion,
we recommend you use a ex venting made from stainless steel. Only use exible venting that is approved for
replace applications. Flex vent runs must comply with the same limitations as the rigid vent chart shown here.
Flexible vent runs greater than 8’ total are not recommended. Mixed vent runs of both Flexible and rigid venting are
allowed providing all the proper connectors are utilized. See your vent providers’ catalogue for ex to rigid or rigid
to ex adaptor numbers.
The restrictor settings shown in Figure 23, are recommended. Installation factors such as altitude, prevailing
weather conditions such as temperature or wind, or the number of elbows used may affect your nal restrictor
settings. Insufcient restriction may cause pilot outages or reduced efciencies. Too much restriction may lead to
elevated operating temperatures, poor ame appearances, sooting or carbon deposits building up on burner effects
or window glass.

Flue Restrictors are necessary to keep
the replace running at its intended
efciency. They are also required to
counteract the effect that taller vertical
vent runs may have on the appliance.
The additional venting action that
tall vertical vent systems may have
can result in poor pilot and/or burner
operations and possibly nuisance shut
downs. Generally, the vent restriction
may be less than what is shown in the
vent chart, but not greater. The vent

Planning your inStallation
tV instaLLation aboVe unit:
During the development of the Q4, we took into consideration that in some installations TV’s or at panel monitors
may be located above the mantel. Although we can not anticipate every possible installation variable, we took time
to evaluate the suitability of the installation of a TV or Plasma display above the mantel. We carried out testing to
evaluate what possible operating temperatures that may be experienced when the appliance was installed in an
internal chase. A mantel was installed with the maximum overhang at the minimum allowable installation height,
with a full 13” (330mm) shelf installed over the unit (see section non-comBustIBle materIal Zone). The area above the
mantel, within 4 inches (102mm) of the wall was measured under maximum operating conditions and found to not
exceed 120°F (49°C). Variations of mantel overhangs, shelf depths or ceiling heights will affect this temperature.
Please refer the TV owner’s manual for information on acceptable operating conditions. Care must be taken to
evaluate your specic installation and operating conditions when deciding to install electronic equipment above or
near this appliance when it is in operation. Always consult your TVs owner’s manual to ensure that this application
is an approved installation.

pLanning youR instaLLation:
Prior to starting your venting installation, refer to the section on Allowable Vent Congurations to make sure your
plans fall into the allowable limits of horizontal and vertical installations.
When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for your particular
requirements. For horizontal installations, refer to the section on Clearances to Combustibles to determine the
minimum clearance from the rear of the appliance to the wall. It is also important to note the wall thickness. Select
the amount of vertical rise desired for “vertical-to- horizontal” type installations. To determine the length of vent
pipe required for vertical installations, measure the distance from the appliance ue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling
thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufcient vent height above the roof-line. For
two-story applications, re-stops are required at each oor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe
and elbows will be required.

Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a re
or other safety hazard, and will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
• Do not install any damaged venting or vent components.
• Do not modify any vent or termination component.
• Do not install any vent component that is not an approved vent component for this appliance.
• Do not use any instructions other that those included in this manual or those included by the vent component
manufacturer with the venting. When there are discrepancies between the two, this manual will be considered
the nal authority.
Consult your local building codes before beginning the installation.
WARNING
• Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a re hazard.
Do not ll air spaces with insulation. Unless stated otherwise, clearances on horizontal vent sections
are 2” (51mm) to combustible materials. Clearances to vertical vent sections are 1” (25mm) to
combustible clearances.
• The replace and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building. Each direct
vent replace must use its own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
• The ow of combustion and ventilation air not be obstructed.
hoRiZontaL instaLLation:
Step 1. Set the replace in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when
the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.
Step 2. Direct Vent pipe and ttings are designed with special twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired
combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance. See the sections on typIcal FramIng - Internal chase,
external chaseor corner InstallatIon for some of the possible vent pathway options. All installations must
fall within the Allowable Vent Congurations shown in Figure 20.
Notes:
(1) Twist-lock procedure: Four (4) indentations, located on the
female ends of pipes and ttings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and ttings, by orienting the
four pipe indentations so they match and slide into the four (4)
entry slots on the male ends. Push the pipe sections completely
together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately
one-quarter turn, until the two (2) sections are fully locked.
(2) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet (915mm).
Wall Straps are available for this purpose.
(3) Sealant is only necessary on the outer tube of the GS Pipe. Run
a ⅛ inch (3mm) wide bead of sealant around the male end of
the outer sleeve, as shown in Figure 34, and twist-lock the pipes
or ttings together.
Step 3. With the adaptor and pipe attached to the replace, slide
the replace into its correct location, and mark the wall for a square hole of the appropriate size. Use
11”x11” (280x280mm) square hole for 8” x 5” pipe. The center of the square hole should line up with the
center line of the horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 35. Cut and frame the square hole in the exterior wall
where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material,
i.e. masonry block or concrete, a hole with zero clearance to the pipe is acceptable.
Figure 34: Twist-Lock Connection.
Notes:
24
inStallation Set-uP
(1) Any horizontal run of vent must have a ¼ inch (6mm) rise for every 1 foot (305mm) of run towards the
termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the
possibility of a re.
(2) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior
wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must
not be easily blocked or obstructed. Termination clearances
must comply with the Vent termInatIon restrIctIons section.
Step 4. For a Square Horizontal Vent Termination, place the vent
cap in the center of the square hole and attach to the
exterior wall with the four wood screws provided (refer
to Figure 36). Before attaching the Vent Termination to
the exterior wall, run a
bead of non-hardening
sealant around its
outside edges, so as to
make a seal between it and
the wall. If you are using a
Round Horizontal Vent
Termination, place
an exterior Wall Firestop over the square
hole. Run a bead of
non-hardening sealant
around the edges of
the Wall Fire-stop, and
attach the Wall Fire-stop
to the wall with the four
wood screws provided.
The arrow on the vent
cap should be pointing
up. Ensure that proper clearances to
combustible materials are maintained.

Figure 35: Horizontal Venting and Cut Away.
Notes:
(1) The four (4) wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
(2) For buildings with vinyl siding, a Vinyl Siding
Standoff should be installed between the vent
cap and the wall (see Figure 37). Attach the
Vinyl Siding Standoff to the Horizontal Vent
Termination. The Vinyl Siding Standoff prevents
excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl
siding material. Note that the Square Horizontal
Vent Termination bolts onto the at portion of
the Vinyl Siding Standoff, (Shaded area shown
in Figure 37), so that an air space will exist
between the wall and the Vent Termination.
Step 5. Before connecting the horizontal run of
vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the
Wall Fire-stop over the vent pipe on the
interior side of the wall.
Step 6. Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall, carefully inserting the

assembly. It is important
that the vent pipe extend
into the vent cap sufcient
distance so as to result in
a minimum pipe overlap of
1¼ inches (32mm). Secure
the connection between the
vent pipe and the vent cap.
For square caps, attach the
two (2) sheet metal strips

Step 1. Maintain clearances between venting and combustible building materials as stated earlier in this section.
Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check with the Allowable
Vent Congurations page when planning your installation to ensure
the vertical and horizontal
elements of your installation
are within these limits.

Step 3. To install the Ceiling Firestop in a at ceiling, cut a square hole in the ceiling 11”x11” (280x280mm)
square for 8” x 5” pipe, centered on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as shown in Figure 40.
Step 4. Assemble the desired lengths of galvanized Pipe and Elbows necessary to reach from the Appliance
Adaptor up through the Ceiling
Firestop. Ensure that all Pipe
and Elbow connections are in
their fully twist-locked position.
Step 5. Cut a hole in the roof centered on
the small drill hole placed in the
roof in Step 2. The hole should
be of sufcient size to meet
the minimum requirements for
clearance to combustibles, as
specied earlier. Continue to
assemble lengths of Pipe and
Elbows necessary to reach from
the Ceiling Firestop up through
the roof line.
Notes:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to
avoid obstructions, it is important to
support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to
avoid excessive stress on the Elbows,
and possible separation. Wall Straps
are available for this purpose (see
Figure 41).
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° Elbows, instead of 90° Elbows. The
45° Elbow offers less restriction to the ow of ue gases and
intake air.
Figure 42: Installation of Flashing & Vertical Termination.
Step 6. Slip the ashing over the Pipe Section(s) protruding
through the roof. Use a non-hardening sealant between the
Flashing and the roof to prevent water leakage. Secure the
base of the Flashing to the roof with roong nails. Ensure
the roong material overlaps the top edge of the Flashing
as shown in Figure 42. Verify that you have at least the
minimum clearance to combustibles at the rooine.
Step 7. Continue to add Pipe Sections until the height of the
Vent Cap meets the minimum building code requirements
described by your local codes. In the absence of local
codes, make sure the terminal is 2 feet (610mm) above
anything within 10 feet (3046mm) of the vent (refer to
Figure 44 & Table 5 for clearances for different pitches).
Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be
increased. In high wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining
rooines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors
can result in poor draft, or down-drafting. In these cases,
increasing the vent height may solve this problem.
Step 8. Slip the Storm Collar over the Pipe, and push it down to
the top of the Flashing, as shown in Figure 42. Use the
non-hardening sealant above and below the joint between the Storm Collar and the Pipe.
Step 9. Twist lock the Vent Cap.
Notes:
(1) For multi-story vertical installations, a Ceiling Firestop is required at any subsequent oors (as shown in Figure
43). The opening should be cut and framed in the same manner as the opening in Step 3 (see Figure 40).
(2) Any occupied areas above the rst oor, including closets and storage spaces, which the vertical vent passes
through, must be enclosed. The enclosure may be framed and sheet rocked with standard construction materials,

This can be done by using a quality orice gauge and
referring to the chart above for the correct ofce sizing.
The rating is listed on the rating plate located under the
rebox, attached to the unit with a cable.
23. Fire the unit to ensure correct operation and ame picture. Ensure the Split Valve and Flame Modulation works
as described in the operations section of this manual.
24. Check the pilot ame that it is the correct size and orientation. The pilot ame can be adjusted with the
adjustment provision on the front face of the valve. This is located just up and to the left of the regulator motor.
It is clearly marked on the valve. Adjusting the screw in or out will raise or lower the pilot ame height. The
correct pilot ame should resemble Figure 60.
The ignition sequence should be as follows:
a) Press the ON button on the remote control.
b) The receiver should beep, to indicate the command has been received.
c) Within a 2-3 second of the beep, the ignitor should begin to spark. The ignitor will spark at intervals of 1
d) The main valve will open 4-6 seconds after the pilot is lit.
e) Within 4 seconds of the main valve opening, all of the burner ports should light and remain burning.
25. To complete the LP conversion of this appliance, place the “LP Converted” sticker, supplied with the LP conversion
kit on the rating plate indicating that this unit has been converted to operate on LP gas.
