PRODUCT FEATURES
These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your direct vent replace:
• The venting system may be routed to the
outside of your home in several ways. It
may vent through the roof (vertical) or it
may vent to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is very
important to allow for proper operation.
You must follow the venting instructions
very carefully for either vertical or horizontal
applications.
125079-01F5
www.fmiproducts.com
• This replace may be installed in any room
of your house provided all local codes and
these installation instructions are followed.
• Each time you turn on your replace, you
may notice some amount of condensation
on the inside of the replace glass. This
is normal and will disappear after 10-20
minutes of operation.
• Your direct vent gas fireplace system
(replace and venting) is a balanced and
sealed gas operating unit. It requires approximately 10-20 minutes of operating
time before the ame pattern stabilizes.
PRE-INSTALLATION
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient location for your direct vent replace. Make sure
that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of
the venting system. Choose a location where
the heat output is not affected by drafts, air
conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure
2 shows some common locations. Be aware
of all restrictions and precautions before
deciding the exact location for your replace
and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your replace,
follow these rules:
• Do not connect this replace venting to a
chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
• If your replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the replace (see Figure 3).
• Your replace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface on back, sides or top
of your replace, except where standoff
spacers are integrally attached.
• If standoff spacers are attached to your
replace, these spacers can be placed
directly against wall or framing material.
See framing details, page 7.
• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 8, page 8.
• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra
framing by positioning your replace against
an already existing framing member.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall
or siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with
450º F (232º C) heat-resistant paint to
coordinate with the exterior nish.
• There must not be any obstruction such as
bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or
utility buildings within 24" from the front of
the termination cap and the front of outside
air vent.
www.fmiproducts.com
• Do not locate termination cap and outside
air vent where excessive snow or ice build
up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent
accidental blockage of venting system.
When using snow blowers, do not direct
snow towards vent termination area.

VENTING INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Read these instruc-
tions completely before attempting installation.
These models are tested and approved for
use with FMI PRODUCTS, LLC (direct vent)
pipe components and terminations.
The venting system must terminate on the
outside of the structure and can not be attached to a chimney or ue system serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
A direct vent appliance must have its own
venting system. DO NOT common vent this
appliance.
These models are approved to be vented
either horizontally through an outside wall or
vertically through a roof or chase enclosure
using the following guidelines:
• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall, you may install
a standoff if the termination cap is to be
installed directly on a combustible nish
such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.
• Never run the vent downward as this may
cause excessive temperatures which could
cause a re.
• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except on the
horizontal sections, which requires 2" clearance from the top of the pipe. Where the
termination cap penetrates a combustible
wall, 1" air space clearance is required.
• Have replace and selected vent components on hand to help determine the exact
measurements when elbowing or offsetting.
Always use wall restops when penetrating
walls and restops when penetrating ceilings or attic spaces.
• For installation of replace at elevations of
4000 feet or greater, pay special attention
to venting requirement recommendations.
WARNING: Read all instruc-
tions completely and thoroughly
before attempting installation.
Failure to do so could result in
serious injury, property damage
or loss of life.
NOTICE: Do not seal termination
cap to vent pipe. Cap must be
removable for vent inspection
and maintenance.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for
protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders
or when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in
walls and ceilings
The following actions will void the warranty
on your venting system:
• Installation of any damaged venting
component
• Unauthorized modication of the venting
system (Do not cut or alter vent components)
• Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by FMI
PRODUCTS, LLC
• Installation other than as instructed by
these instructions
WARNING: This gas replace
and vent assembly must be
vented directly to the outside.
The venting system must NEVER
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use a separate
vent system. Do not use common vent systems.
WARNING: Vent pipe air
space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except
on the horizontal sections,
which require 2" clearances
from the top of the pipe. Where
the termination cap penetrates
a combustible wall, 1" air space
clearance is required.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these
instructions will void the warranty.

There are two basic types of direct vent
installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
Horizontal Termination Installation
IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations
require only inner portion of wall restop.
Horizontal installations using round termination require exterior portion of wall restop.
1. Set replace in its desired location and determine the route your horizontal venting
will take. Do not secure replace until all
venting has been installed. Some installations require sliding replace in and out
of position to make nal venting connections. Figures 15 and 16 on page 14 show
different congurations for venting with
horizontal termination that will help you
decide which application best suits your
installation. Check to see if wall studs or
roof rafters are in the path of your desired
venting route. If they are, you may want
to adjust location of replace.
2. Direct vent pipe sections and components
are designed with special twist-lock connections.
Twist-Lock Procedure: Female ends of
pipes have locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on male ends of adjacent pipes.
Push pipe sections together and twist
one section clockwise approximately onequarter turn until sections are fully locked
(see Figure 9).
Note: Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
ported every three feet. Use wall straps
for this purpose.
3. Assemble desired combination of pipe
and elbows to replace ue collar. If there
are long portions of venting run, preassembled pipe sections may be installed
as subassemblies for convenience.
4. Carefully determine location where vent
pipe assembly will penetrate outside wall.
Center of hole should line up with center
line of horizontal vent pipe. Mark wall for
an 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" square hole. Cut and
frame square hole in exterior wall where
vent will be terminated. If wall being pen-

etrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 8 1/2" hole with zero clearance is
acceptable (see Figure 10).
WARNING: Do not recess
vent termination into any wall.
This will cause a re hazard.

5. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position
horizontal vent cap in center of the 8 1/2"
round hole and attach to exterior wall
with four wood screws provided. Before
attaching vent cap to exterior wall, run a
bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable
sealant) around outside edges to make a
seal between it and outside wall.
Note: Four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete or other types of
sidings (see Figure 11).
Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl
siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding
standoff may be installed between vent
cap and exterior wall. Siding standoff
prevents excessive heat from damaging
siding materials. Siding material must be
cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt vent
cap to standoff. Apply non-hardening
mastic around outside edge of standoff.
Position standoff/cap assembly in the
center of 11 1/2" square hole and attach to
exterior wall with provided wood screws
(see Figure 12). Siding standoff must sit
ush against exterior fascia material.
6. Connecting Vent Cap with Horizontal Vent Pipe: Slide wall restop over vent
pipe before connecting horizontal run to
vent cap (see Figure 13).

Slide wall restop against interior wall
surface and attach with screws provided.
See Figure 14, page 13, for horizontal
termination details.
Place replace into position and shim with
noncombustible material if needed. Nail or

Vertical Termination Installation
Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed in
all vertical installations.
1. Determine route your vertical venting
will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or
other framing will obstruct venting system,
consider an offset (see Figure 17) to avoid
cutting load bearing members. Note: Pay
special attention to these installation
instructions for required clearances (air
space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Also note maximum
vertical rise of venting system and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations.
2. Set replace in desired location. Drop a
plumb line down from ceiling to position
of replace exit ue. Mark center point
where vent will penetrate ceiling. Drill a
small locating hole at this point.
3. Drop a plumb line from inside of roof to
locating hole in ceiling. Mark center point
where vent will penetrate roof. Drill a small
locating hole at this point.
Flat Ceiling Installation
1. Cut a 11 1/2" square hole in ceiling using locating hole as a center point. Opening should be
framed to 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" inside dimensions, as
shown in Figure 10 on page 11 using framing
lumber the same size as ceiling joists. If area
above ceiling is an insulated ceiling or an attic,
nail restop from top side. This prevents loose
insulation from falling into required clearance
space. If area above ceiling is a living space,
install restop below framed hole. Firestop
should be installed with no less than three
nails per side (see Figure 17).
2. Assemble desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from replace ue
up through restop. Be sure all pipe and
elbow connections are fully twist-locked
(see Figure 9, page 11).
3. Cut a hole in the roof using locating hole as
a center point. (Cover any exposed open
vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The
11 1/2" x 11 1/2" hole must be measured on
the horizontal; actual length may be larger
depending on pitch of roof. There must be
a 1" clearance from vent pipe to combustible materials. Frame opening as shown
in Figure 10, page 11.
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up
through hole.
Note: If an offset is needed to avoid obstruc-
tions, you must support vent pipe every 3 feet.
Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure
Roof Flashing
17). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows
instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers
less restriction to the ow of ue gases.
5. Place ashing over pipe section(s) extending through roof. Secure base of ashing
to roof and framing with roong nails. Be
Wall Strap
sure roong material overlaps top edge
of ashing as shown in Figure 17. There
must be a 1" clearance from vent pipe to
combustible materials.

6. Continue to add pipe sections until height
of vent cap meets the minimum building
code requirements described in Figure 8
on page 8.
Note: You must increase vent height for
steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining
rooines, steep pitched roofs and other
similar factors may cause poor draft or
down-drafting in high winds. Increasing
vent height may solve this problem.
7. Twist-lock vent cap onto last section of
vent pipe.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the replace unit you
are installing. If you have conicting gas types,
do not install replace. See retailer where you
purchased the replace for proper replace
according to your gas type.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO
FIREPLACE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified
service person must connect
replace to gas supply. Follow
all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP
units, never connect replace
directly to the propane/LP supply. This replace requires an
external regulator (not supplied).
Install the external regulator between the replace and propane/
LP supply.
WARNING: For natural
gas, never connect replace to
private (non-utility) gas wells.
This gas is commonly known
as wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing replace, make sure you
have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT
tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff
valve from your retailer.
For propane/LP connection only, the installer
must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure
to between 11" and 14" of w.c. pressure. If
you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
replace regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 21. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to replace.
If pipe is too small, undue loss
of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.
NPT tap must be upstream from replace (see
Figure 22, page 19).
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location.
The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.

We recommend that you install a sediment
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure
22. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it
is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping
system between fuel supply and replace.
Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap
traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps
them from going into replace gas controls. If
sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, replace may not run properly.
CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS

GLASS DOORS
WARNING: Handle glass
door panels with care. Do not
strike, slam or otherwise abuse
glass. Do not operate replace
with the glass door unlatched,
removed, cracked or broken.
WARNING: Do not use
abrasive cleaners as this may
damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass cleaner to
clean glass. Do not clean glass
when hot.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Continued
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During
start-up it is normal for condensation to form
on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and
other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface. During initial start-up a slight lm may
form on the glass due to paint curing. The
glass should be cleaned several times with a
non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the rst two weeks
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two
or three times during each heating season,
depending on the usage and circumstances
present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 21 of this manual when removing
glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer
should be used when replacing
broken or damaged glass door
panels (see Replacement Parts,
page 33). Glass door panel are
complete units. No substitute
materials may be used.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses while handling or
removing broken glass. Do not
remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 21). Vacuum all glass pieces with
a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
pieces are hot.

latched, removed, cracked or
broken.
PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove material before cleaning burners
and replace when cleaning is complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned with
compressed air to remove dust, dirt or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled
brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.
LOGS
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any
carbon buildup on logs.
• Replace material periodically as needed.
See Replacement Parts, page 33.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting
system following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a qualied service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a ash-
light into the vent. Remove any foreign
material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive con-
densation. Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipes and ttings
and can be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section
or tting has been disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such
as wall straps for rigidity.
