P95-4 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit
The P95-4 Flat Wall Surround, Hearth Pad and Tile Kit cannot be modifi ed in any way. It must
be installed as manufactured.
FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1" (32mm)
thick.
Install Top Standoffs & Side Nailing Strips
before unit is slipped into position. See the
"Unit Assembly Prior to Installation" section
for assembly details.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening is
50-1/8" high x 53-3/8" wide x 21-1/4" deep
(1276mm high x 1346mm wide x 533mm
deep).
P95-4 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit Specifi cations
UNIT BASE STAND-OFFS
To accommodate varying thicknesses and
fi nishes of hearth materials, we have increased
the overall height of the appliance by a further
1-1/8”. This increase is added with the inclusion
of two stand-offs at the bottom of the unit, below
the outer box, taking the overall height of the
framing dimensions from 49” up to 50-1/8”.
In the event that you should choose to use thinner
materials to fi nish the hearth, you can omit the
stand-offs provided for raising the unit. However,
we recommend that you leave the framing
dimensions as they are in the manual and alter
only the facing requirement by reducing it by the
same distance that you have lowered the unit.

Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath the
unit as shown in the diagram below. Space the
stand-offs centrally, approximately 2 or 2-1/2
feet apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per

VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P95-4 uses the "balanced fl ue" technology
Co-axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
need to use heated room air for combustion and
losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be
connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own
separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited (see "Simpson Dura-Vent V enting"
section for more details and exceptions).

INSTALLATION
SIMPSON DURA-VENT VENTING
The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations.
Many items are offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized fi nish. We recommend using the galvanized fi nish for installation with the
P95-4.
The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are:
1 Horizontal Termination Cap
1 90
1 Flue Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)
Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface
of termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring strips may be used, instead
of the vinyl siding standoff, to create a level surface to mount the vent terminal.
The Terminal must not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness
including furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be used with vinyl siding), measure
to outside surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.
Do not combine venting components from
different venting systems.
However use of the the AstroCapTM and FPI
Riser is acceptable with all systems.
This product has been evaluated by Intertek
for using a Rigid Pipe Adaptor in conjunction
with Duravent Direct-Vent , Selkirk Direct-T emp,
Ameri Vent Direct venting and Security Secure
Vent systems. Use of these systems with the
Rigid Pipe adaptor is deemed acceptable
and does not affect the Intertek WHI listing of
components.

INSTALLATION
UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with
the components.
1) Set the unit 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 unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to
connect the venting system to the appliance
fl ue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Mill
Pac on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer fl ue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fi replace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be
supported every three feet. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" square hole.
The center of the square hole should line
up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe.
Cut and frame the 10 inch 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 8" dia. hole is
acceptable.
Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height is
achieved by installing a 90o elbow directly to
the fl ue adaptor.
Diagram 3
*Diagam 3 & 4: As specifi ed in CGA B149
Installation Code. Local codes or regulations
may require different clearances.
Below Grade Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, proper
drainage must be provided to prevent water
from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer
to Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose the
Snorkel within the wall, or any other type of
enclosure.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fi ttings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fi ttings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
in to the four entry slots on the male
ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately
one-quarter turn, until the two sections
are fully locked. The female locking lugs
will not be visible from the outside, on
the Black Pipe or fi ttings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the
female ends.
Diagram 1
NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is
highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection.
Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty.
Silicone (red RTV) is optional.

Diagram 5
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used to
ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 1247) over the vent pipe.
8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extends into
the vent cap suffi cient distance so as to
result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. Secure the connection between the
vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending from the
vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the
vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 6.
Diagram 6
9) Install wall thimble
in the center of
the 11" square
and attach with
wood screws
(Diagram 7).
Diagram 7
VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/2"
clearances (air spaces) to
combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs,
enclosures, attic rafter, or
other nearby combustible
surfaces. Do not pack air
spaces with insulation. Check
the "Venting Arrangements Vertical Temination" section
for the maximum vertical rise
of the venting system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance in
its desired location. Drop a
plumb bob down from the
ceiling to the position of the
appliance fl ue exit, and mark the location
where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill
a small hole at his point. Next, drop a plumb
bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled
in the ceiling, and 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, as shown
in Diagram 2
to avoid cutting
load bearing
members.
NOTE: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved venting
system, it is highly recommended to apply
“Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may
result in drafting or performance issues not
covered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV)
is optional.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the
fl oor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a fl at ceiling or wall,
cut a 11 inch square hole. Frame the hole
as shown in Diagram 3 and install the
fi restop.
Diagram 1
Diagram 2
Diagram 3
4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of suffi cient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the fl ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the fl ashing) as per Diagram 4.
Diagram 4: The upper half of the fl ashing is
installed under the roofi ng material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed. This
allows for small adjustments.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: 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
(Diagram 2).
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofl ine
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the fl ashing until
the height of the vent cap meets the minimum
height requirements specifi ed in Diagram 5 or
local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches,

the vertical height must be increased. A poor
draft, or down drafting can result from high
wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the vent
height may solve the problem.
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base
of the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.
Note: To make
the installation
more aesthetically
pleasing, we
recommend framing
out a square to
mount the terminal
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
is not recessed into the siding.
2) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the nailing
strips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 5"(127mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 5"(127mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature
silicone to the 8"(203mm) fl ex pipe and slip
it over the 8"(203mm) outer collar of the vent
terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten
with the 3 screws.
NOTE: Horizontal sections must be
supported at intervals not exceeding
3 feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and
performance will be affected by sags
in the liner).
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are
on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble
half to the inside wall. The thimble halves
slip inside each other and can be adjusted
for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners must slip
over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8".
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way
is up). This will position the termination cap
with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 5"(127mm) liner and outer
8"(203mm) liner out enough to slip over
the fl ue collars of the fi replace. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more
workable.) Do not bend liner more than
o
.
90
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar
and slip the 5"(127mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 8"(203mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edge
of the terminal at the wall in order to keep
the water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice
buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent
termination area after snow falls, and clear
to prevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers, make
sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas (preferably on the right side of the unit)
and the electrical (Junction block is on the
left side) on the left. Locate the centerline of
the termination and mark wall accordingly.
Cut a 11"(279mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
Note: Only a 1" (25mm) clearance is
needed at the termination end when
passing thru the wall. We recommend

When using copper or fl ex connectors use only
approved fi ttings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and fl ex
connectors are usually considered to meet this
requirement.
Important: Always check for gas leaks with a
soap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open fl ame for leak testing.
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames:
1 fl owing around the thermopile, 1 around
the thermocouple and 1 fl owing across the
burner (it does not have to be touching the
burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern,
contact your Excalibur® dealer for
further instructions.
Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small,
probably yellow fl ames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or
thermopile or thermocouple.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF"
position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure
tap(s), turning counter clockwise with a
1/8" wide fl at screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.
5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specifi ed on the safety
label.
6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn
off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at
screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug,
but do not over tighten.

any gas in the combustion chamber to
escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counter clockwise
so indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the igniter button several times until the
pilot lights. After approximately one minute,
release the gas control knob. The pilot fl ame
should continue to burn. If the pilot does not
remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer
period before releasing gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counter clockwise to the "ON"
position.
5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.
6) Rotate the fl ame height regulator to adjust
the fl ame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.
This condensation is normal and
will disappear in a few minutes as
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the fi lm will bake on and
become very diffi cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the
air shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a more
yellow fl ame. The burner aeration is factory
set but may need adjusting due to either the
local gas supply or altitude. This adjustment is
performed by the gas fi tter.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
5/16" Natural Gas
3/8" Propane
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,

2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re in your fi replace is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you burn
your fi replace for at least four (4) hours the fi rst
time before you use it with the fan on.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at
this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the
room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE

INSTALLATION
Copy of the Lighting Plate Instructions
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF GAS
APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal
due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Listed below are some examples. All are normal operating sounds and should not be considered
as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Excalibur® gas appliances use high tech blowers
to push heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different
gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox and
body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel
will expand and contract at slightly different
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"
sounds. Y ou should also be aware that as there
are temperature changes within the unit these
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fi reboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot fl ame is on it can make a very
slight "whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the gas valve before cleaning.
For relighting, refer to lighting instructions.
Keep the burner and control compartment
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least
once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a
soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile
and easily damaged.
2) Clean appliance and door with a damp
cloth (never when unit is hot). Never use
an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fi replace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is fi nished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refi nished with heat
resistant paint. Excalibur® uses StoveBright
Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure
the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating.
If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service
person.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure
that the fl ow of combustion and ventilation
air is not obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance without
the glass properly secured in place.
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed
service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under
water.
7) In the event this appliance has been
serviced check that the vent-air system
has been properly resealed & reinstalled
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a fl ashlight
down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive
condensation, such as water droplets forming
in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
out the joints, Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fi ttings.
It may be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior
portions of the system being exposed to cold
weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe
sections or fi ttings have been disturbed,
and consequently loosened. Also check
mechanical supports such as Wall Straps,
or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
GOLD-PLATED DOOR
Or SURROUND
The 24 carat gold-plated fi nish on the surround
and door requires little maintenance, and need
only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical
cleaners, as they may harm the fi nish and void
the warranty. Clean any fi ngerprints off before
turning the unit on.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door and carefully remove the
logs. (The pilot light generates enough heat to
burn someone.) If for any reason a log should
need replacement, you must use the proper
replacement log. The position of these logs
must be as shown in the diagrams under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will severely alter
the unit's performance which is not
covered under warranty.
4) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
from the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
5) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use a
tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).
DOOR GLASS
Your Excalibur® fi replace is supplied with high
temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that
will withstand the highest heat that your unit will
produce. If your glass requires cleaning, we
recommend using an approved glass cleaner
available at all authorized dealers. Do not use
abrasive materials. Do not clean the glass
when hot.
In the event that you break your glass by impact,
purchase your replacement from an authorized
Excalibur® dealer only, and follow our step-bystep instructions for replacement.
WARNING: Do not operate the
appliance with the glass panels
removed, cracked or broken.
Replacement of the glass panels
should be done by a licensed or
qualifi ed service person.
Caution: Wear gloves when removing
damaged or broken glass.
Glass Replacement
Remove the glass door front. Remove the 4
glass clips from each corner. Slide in the new
replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips
back onto the frame. The glass must have
gasketing around it.
8) Verify operation after servicing.
General Vent Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in
areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or
streaks, and in extreme cases, holes.
These components should be replaced
immediately.
