USER INFORMATION
WARMTH AND BEAUTY HOW IT WORKS
The Element4 replaces are direct vent replaces and, as such, the intake and exhaust are both handled through the vent pipe. The
replace also provides convection air to your room. The illustration shows one of the unique features of the Element4 replaces - its
use of warm, convection air ow.
Other replaces have louvered metal boxes around them to keep temperatures under control. The Element4 replaces use your
enclosing walls, or chase, to guide this warm air.
When the air within the chase is warmed by the replace, it exits through an air outlet that you have provided. This chase air is then
replaced by room air which enters through the Air Inlet (provided by the replace design) and through the Wall Access Door. As the
exiting warm air cools, it falls to the oor where it's drawn into the inlets and the cycle repeats.
The replace provides the inlet for room air as part of its design; you provide the warm air outlet as part of your design.
See the ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE section of this manual for more information.

GAS and ELECTRIC
INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
In accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada,) correctly size and
route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed.
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe unless it is rated for use with gas. Gas supply pipes must be designed, routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations. A qualied plumber or gas tter should be hired to
correctly size and route the gas supply line to the appliance in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
Installing a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance involves numerous considerations of materials, protection, sizing,
locations, controls, pressure, sediment trap, and other criteria. The sizing and/or installing of gas piping should only be performed
by a qualied plumber or gastter.
The gas control inlet accepts a ⁄” NPT tting.
The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shuto valve and a capped, 1/8” pipe tapping upstream of the valve for the purpose
of reading pressure. A service shuto valve must be placed within six feet of the replace gas control valve.
The gas supply pressure at the gas control valve must not exceed the Maximum Supply Pressure as shown in the Specications
and Dimensions section of this manual.
The gas supply line must be properly connected and bled by a certied gastter or plumber.
The appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its equipment shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).

VENTING
CONFIGURATION
CONFIGURING THE VENTING
The replaces in this manual are direct vent replaces that use a co-axial or “pipe within a pipe” venting system. The outer “pipe” or vent
conducts fresh, outside air into the replace and the inner vent carries the exhaust outside. This system, which can run either horizontally
through a side wall or vertically through the roof, produces an ecient system because conditioned building air is not used for combustion.
• Only the 5” x 8” direct vent components from the companies listed below (Figure __) are approved for use with
these replaces. Any of the 5” x 8” direct vent components suitable for the local condition are permitted. Please visit
www.europeanhome.com/qr-support or via the QR code below for installation instructions.
• This replace is shipped with a North American venting adapter (Figure __). It MUST attach to the
vent collar of the replace.
• All venting measurements are taken from the top center of the vent collar on the top of the replace
and all congurations must fall within the acceptable range of the venting charts.
• A minimum clearance of 3” (75 mm) must be maintained between combustible materials and the top
of any horizontal vent pipe surface; a minimum clearance of 1” (25 mm) must be maintained between
combustible materials and any other vent pipe surface.
• The horizontal parts of the venting must be pitched up away from the replace. For every 12” (305 mm) of horizontal run, the
venting must rise ¼” (6.5 mm) toward the termination. The venting must never run downward unless with the use of a power
vent.
North American Vent Adapter
• Whenever venting passes through a wall, an approved heat shield or ‘wall thimble’ must be installed.
• A power vent system is available for venting that falls outside of the venting graphs. Refer to the appropriate power vent
manual for any venting conguration which is outside of the vent graphs shown here.
• Your venting needs to be inspected annually, including any connected components, to ensure that the system is working as
designed.
• In colder climate environments, the replace can be lowered to STANDY BY MODE (Pilot Flame only). This will help maintain a
steady draft within the venting over a period of up to ve days. See the “Operating the Fireplace” section.
