PREINSTALLATION PREPARATION
WARNING: A qualied installer or service person must
install stove and burner system.
Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: This stove with
burner system creates warm air
currents. These currents move
heat to wall surfaces next to
stove. Installing stove next to
vinyl or cloth wall coverings
or operating stove with burner
system where impurities (such
as, but not limited to, tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, clean-
ing uids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls or cause odors.
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient location for your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC B-vent
cast iron stove. 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 stove and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your stove and
burner system, follow these rules:
• Do not connect this stove and burner system to a chimney ue serving a separate
solid-fuel burning stove or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
stove in high trafc areas, or near furniture
or draperies.
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
See Figures 3 and 4, pages 6 and 7.
• This stove is a freestanding unit designed
to set directly on the oor. If your stove 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 stove. See Figure 5, page 7.

VENTING INSTALLATION
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. Operation of
improperly installed and maintained venting system could
result in serious injury, property
damage, or loss of life.
NOTICE: Failure to follow
these instructions will void the
warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before beginning
installation. Only a qualied service person
should install venting system. The installer
must follow these safety rules:
• 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 com-
ponent
• Unauthorized modication of the venting
system
• Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by FMI PRODUCTS, LLC
• Installation other than as instructed by
these instructions
Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC stove with B-vent
burner system is approved for use with any
listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory made and listed system designed, and
installed exclusively for removing products
of combustion, excess air, and dilution air
resulting from burning fuel gas. Metal vents,
the most common type of vent, employ double
wall construction enclosing an insulating air
space. This air space both helps keep ue
gases warm and reduce heat transferred
to nearby combustibles. This appliance is
equipped with a safety control system designed to protect against improper venting of
combustion products.
It is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the combustion
air intake and the ue gas exhaust. Certain
limitations apply to vent congurations and
must be strictly followed.
WARNING: This gas stove
with burner system 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.
TYPE B-VENT INSTALLATION
(Listed B-0 or Greater)
Before beginning installation be sure that the
overall height and gas vent size conform to
building code requirements. Gas vents extending through pitched roofs can extend a
minimum height of at least 600 mm (2') higher
than any obstruction within 3m (10'). Gas vents
extending through at roofs are required to
extend at least 600 mm (2') above the roof and
at least 600 mm (2') higher than any portion
of the building or adjoining building within 3m
(10') of the gas vent.
• In absence of local codes, follow Section
7.0 of the current National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and the Natural
Gas Installation Code - vent sizings for
Category I systems using double wall B-1
vent pipe.
• Where the gas vent extends through accessible spaces, it should be enclosed to avoid
personal contact and damage. Enclosure
walls should have a re rating equal to or
greater than the oors through which the
gas vent passes except in single or twofamily dwellings.
• Situate the gas vent in the structure so that
it can be installed without cutting joists, sills,
plates, or major load bearing partitions or
members. It is also important to locate the
base of the gas vent as near as possible
to the heating appliance.

system is equipped with a vent safety
shutoff system.
• Use only vents labeled "FOR EXTERIOR
USE" above the rooine.
• Consult the authority having jurisdiction to
select the correct gas vent diameter. Avoid
using a larger than necessary diameter.

achieved proper certication of
licensing. Installations made by
unqualied persons can result
in the risk of injury or electrical
shock which can be serious or
even fatal.
Figures 8 through 10 show other options for
the gas vent. When venting through a side
wall your vent pipe must have the proper
temperature rating (see Figure 10, page
10). Manufacturer's clearances must also
be maintained. Consult the authority having
jurisdiction in your area regarding venting
through side wall.

NOTICE: Treatment of restops
and construction of the chase
may vary from building type to
building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building
codes. You must follow all local
building codes.
Note: When installing in a chase, you should
insulate the chase as you would the outside
walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Minimum clearance
between vent pipes and combustible materials
such as insulation is 1".
CHECKING VENT CAPACITY
Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent
connections. After adjusting the burner system
and lighting the main burners, allow a couple of
minutes for warm-up. Hold a lighted match just
under the rim of the draft hood relief opening.
Proper venting will draw the ame toward or
into the draft hood. Improper venting, indicated
by escape or spillage of burned gas, will cause
match to icker or go out. Smoke from a cigarette will also be pulled into the draft hood if the
vent is drawing properly.
