SAFETY INFORMATION

Continued

This replace must be installed by a qualied (certied or licensed) service person. It has a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe (pipe within a pipe and having the same center) venting system. It brings in fresh air for combustion through the outer pipe

and combustion gases are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass door assembly and venting pipe are not properly seated, connected and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage

(spillage) can occur.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u, with

headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs, the replace may not be working

properly. Get fresh air at once! Have replace serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease

or anemia, those under the inuence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.

Natural and Propane/LP Gas: Natural and propane/LP gases are odorless. An odor-making agent

is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your

guide to safe and proper operation of this replace.

WARNING: Any change to this replace or its controls can be

dangerous.

WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or

other accessory not approved for use with this replace.

Do not use any solid fuels (wood, coal, paper, cardboard, etc.) in this replace. Use only the gas type indicated on replace name plate.

Carefully supervise young children when they are in the room with replace.

This replace reaches high temperatures. Keep children and adults away from hot surfaces to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Fireplace will remain hot for a time after shutdown. Allow surfaces to cool before touching.

PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you un-

derstand 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.

• This replace may be installed in any room

of your house provided all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.

• The blower requires electricity if installed.

If you plan to install the blower at a later date, outlet must be wired at the bottom of

the replace when framing.

116647-01H 5

www.fmiproducts.com

• The electronic ignition creates spark to

ignite the pilot light. It does not require any matches, batteries or any other sources of ignition to light the pilot.

• 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 replace 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 PREPARATION

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efcient location for your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC 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 trafc 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

• Your fireplace is designed to be used in

zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the 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 on page 7.

• If you plan on installing a television or

entertainment center recessed above

your replace, it is recommended that you

maintain a minimum 18" above top of louver opening.

• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, 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 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.

• Do not locate termination cap 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.

CLEARANCES

Minimum clearances to combustibles for the

replace are as follows:

*Back and sides 0" Perpendicular walls 6" Floor 0" Ceiling to louver opening 42" Front 36" Top 0"

Vent (See venting instructions for specic venting clearances.)

Combustible material with a maximum thick-

ness of 5/8" may be ush with the top front of replace.

* For back and sides of replace, do not pack

with insulation or other materials. 0" clearance to combustible materials are for framing purpose only.

VENTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 at-

tached 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 com-

bustibles 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.

• Snorkel terminations are required when

minimum clearance to grade cannot be met

(see Figure 16 on page 14).

• Have replace and selected vent compo-

nents on hand to help determine the exact measurements when elbowing or offsetting.

Always use wall restops when penetrating walls and restops when penetrating ceil-

ings or attic spaces.

• If using a venting conguration of only

horizontal venting with no vertical run, a 1/4" rise for every 12" of run toward the termination is required.

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: Failure to follow these

instructions will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT: Do not seal vent cap to pipe. Cap must be removable for service.

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 modication 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.

Vent Opening

Combustible Wall

Vent Opening

Noncombustible Wall

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 (see Figure 14, page 13).

1. Set the replace in its desired location and

determine the route your horizontal venting

will take. Do not secure the replace until

all venting has been installed. Some instal-

lations require sliding the replace in and out of position to make nal venting con-

nections. Figures 14 through 18 on pages

13 through 15 show different congurations

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 the location of the replace.

2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are designed with special twist-lock connections.

Twist-Lock Procedure: The female ends

of the pipes have locking lugs (indentations). These lugs will slide straight

into matching slots on the male ends

of adjacent pipes. Push pipe sections

together and twist one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until the

sections are fully locked (see Figure 8).

Note: Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Use wall straps for this purpose.

3. Use a 45° elbow to connect venting

system to replace ue collar. The elbow

is designed to be twist-locked onto the

ue collar as described in step 2. IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to alter the

configuration of the elbow by cutting, twisting, bending, etc.

4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe

and elbows to the replace ue collar. If

there are long portions of venting run, preassembled pipe sections may be installed as subassemblies for convenience.

5. Carefully determine the location where the vent pipe assembly will penetrate the outside wall. The center of the hole should line up with the center-line of the horizontal

116647-01H 11

vent pipe. Mark the wall for a 11 1/2" x 11

/2" square hole. Cut and frame the square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 8 1/2"

hole with zero clearance is acceptable (see Figure 9).

WARNING: Do not recess

vent termination into any wall. This will cause a re hazard.

6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position the horizontal vent cap in the center of the 8

/2" round hole and attach to the exterior wall with four screws. Note: The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete or other types of sidings. Before attaching the vent cap to exterior wall, run

a bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable sealant) around the outside edges to make

a seal between it and the outside wall.

Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl siding,

stucco or wood exteriors, a siding standoff may be installed between the vent cap and exterior wall. The siding standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging the siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of standoff. Position the standoff/ cap assembly in the center of the 111/2" square hole and attach to exterior wall

with wood screws provided (see Figure

11). The siding standoff must sit ush

against the exterior fascia material.

7. Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide the

wall restop over the vent pipe before connecting horizontal run to vent cap (see Figure 12).

8. Carefully move replace, with vent as-

sembly attached, toward wall and insert vent pipe into horizontal termination. The pipe overlap should be a minimum of 11/4"

(see Figure 13, page 13).

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL

TERMINATION

Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed in all vertical installations.

1. Determine the route your vertical venting

will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or

other framing will obstruct the venting

system, consider an offset (see Figure 19)

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 the venting system and any maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2. Set the replace in desired location. Drop

a plumb line down from the ceiling to the

position of the replace exit ue. Mark the

center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Drop a plumb line from the inside of the

roof to the locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Roof Flashing

Wall Strap

45° Elbow

Flat Ceiling Installation

1. Cut a 11 1/2" square hole in the ceiling us-

ing the locating hole as a center point. The opening should be framed to 11 1/2" x 11

/2" inside dimensions, as shown in Figure

9 on page 10 using framing lumber the

same size as the ceiling joists. If the area

above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling

or an attic, nail restop from the top side.

This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. If the area above the ceiling is a living space,

install restop below the framed hole. The restop should be installed with no less than three nails per side (see Figure 20).

2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe

and elbows necessary to reach from the

replace ue up through the restop. Be

sure all pipe and elbow connections are

fully twist-locked (see Figure 8, page 10).

3. Cut a hole in the roof using the 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 the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. Frame the opening as shown in Figure 9, page 11.

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up

through the hole.

Note: If an offset is needed to avoid ob-

structions, you must support the vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this pur-

pose (see Figure 19). Whenever possible,

use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The

45° elbow offers less restriction to the ow of the ue gases and intake air.

5. Place the ashing over the pipe section(s)

extending through the roof. Secure the

base of the ashing to the roof and framing with roong nails. Be sure roong

material overlaps the top edge of the

ashing as shown in Figure 19. There

must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.

If area above is an attic or insulated

area, install restop

above framed hole.

If area above is living

space, install restop

below framed hole.

6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements described in Figure 7 on page 8. Note: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches.

Nearby trees, adjoining rooines, steep

pitched roofs and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.

7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last section of vent pipe.

Note: If the vent pipe passes through any oc-

cupied areas above the rst oor, including

storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure and meet the minimum allowable

clearances to combustibles. Do not ll any of

the required air spaces with insulation.

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.

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 inches of water. 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 30. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

www.fmiproducts.com

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" inside 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 31).

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.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff

valve to replaces. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT

threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could

result in clogged replace valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 31, page 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 SUPPLY

Installation Items Needed

• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)

1. Open lower louver door panel by gently pulling forward.

2. Route exible gas line (provided by installer) from equipment shutoff valve to replace. Route exible gas supply

line through one of the access holes

on side of replace.

3. Attach exible gas line from gas supply to control valve (see Figure 32).

4. Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections.

116647-01H 23

www.fmiproducts.com

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping

and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after

installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open ame to check for a leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG

(3.5 kPa)

1. Disconnect fireplace and its individual equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2

psig (3.5 kPa) will damage replace gas

regulator.

2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected.

3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for

propane/LP gas replace or opening main

gas valve located on or near gas meter for

natural gas replace or using compressed

air.

4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive leak detection

OPERATING OPTIONAL

BLOWER ACCESSORY

Locate the blower controls by opening the lower louver panel on the replace. Blower

controls are located on the left side of the

switch bracket to the right just inside the louver panel.

The BK manual blower and the BKT thermostatically-controlled blower have an ON setting and an OFF setting. The blower

will only run when the switch is in the ON

position. In the OFF position, the blower will not operate.

Note for BKT Only: If you are using BKT blower with optional thermostat (wall mounted or remote control) for the replace, your replace and blower will not turn on and off at the same time. The fireplace may run for several minutes before the blower turns on. After the replace modulates to the pilot position, the blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the rebox temperature decreases.

The blower helps distribute heated air from the replace. Periodically check the louvers of the rebox and remove any dust, dirt or other obstructions that will hinder the ow of air.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame

patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the

proper ame. Alterations may have occurred

www.fmiproducts.com

during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on the left hand side of the burner.

The ame must envelope 1/4" of top of the

ignitor/sensor and grounding stem. If your pilot assembly does not meet these

requirements:

• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT

clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise

to increase the ame to proper size (see Figure 49, page 28). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

• see Troubleshooting, page 31

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner ames will be steady; not lifting or oating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.

If the vent conguration is installed incorrectly, the ames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the ames after installation to

ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 51 shows a typical ame pattern. If burner ame pattern differs from that de-

scribed:

• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 29)

• see Troubleshooting, page 32

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door panel 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.

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 clean-

er 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 on page 24 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 panel (see Replacement Parts, page

35). This glass door panel is a complete unit. 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 24). Vacuum all glass pieces with

a shop vac.

116647-01H 31

www.fmiproducts.com

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if

pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replace-

ment intended for this replace (see Replacement Parts, page 35 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/ Replacing Glass Door, page 24 for instruc-

tions for replacing glass door.

WARNING: Do not operate

replace with the glass door

unlatched, removed, cracked

or broken.

PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove ember 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

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to

Installing Logs, Lava Rock and Glowing Embers, page 26, to properly replace logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any

carbon buildup on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 35.

• Replace ember material periodically as

needed. See Replacement Parts on page 35.

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

qualied 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 condensa-

tion. 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 loos-

ened. Check mechanical supports such as wall straps for rigidity.

TROUBLESHOOTING
