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.

• 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 you plan to install the blower at a later date, do not forget to wire the outlet at the bottom of the replace when framing.

• 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 dire ct-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 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 3.

PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Continued

• Your replace 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 enterta in ment 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 (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.

• 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 of Standoffs 0" Vent (See venting instruc-

tions for specic vent-

ing clearances.) Combustible material with a maximum thickness 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.

NOTICE: This replace is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this replace along with your primary heating system. Do not install this replace as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using replace. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this replace as a heat source.

FRAMING AND FINISHING

Figure 4, page 7, shows typical framing of this replace. Figure 5, page 7, shows framing for corner installation. All minimum clearances must be met.

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.

• Snorkel terminations are required when minimum clearance to grade cannot be met (see Figure 16 on page 13).

• 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.

• 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 in-

structions will void the warranty.

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 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.

INSTALLATION pLANNING

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 12).

1. Set replace in its desired location and determine 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 14 through 18 on pages 12 through 14 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 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 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 conguration of the elbow by cutting, twisting, bending, etc.

4. Assemble desired combination of pipe and elbows to replace ue collar. If there are long portions of venting run, pre-assembled pipe sections may be installed as subassemblies for convenience.

Continued

5. 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 a

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 penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 8

/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 horizontal vent cap in center of 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 the outside wall.

Note: Four wood screws provided should

be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete or other types of sidings.

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 center of the 11 exterior wall with wood screws provided (see Figure 11). Siding standoff must sit ush against exterior fascia material.

7. Connecting Vent Cap with Horizontal Vent Pipe: Slide wall restop over vent pipe before connecting horizontal run to vent cap (see Figure 12).

Carefully move replace, with vent as-

sembly attached, toward wall and insert vent pipe into horizontal termination. Pipe overlap should be a minimum of 1 Figure 13, page 12).

Slide wall restop against interior wall

surface and attach with screws provided. See Figure 13, page 12, for horizontal termination details.

Place replace into position and shim with

noncombustible material if needed. Nail or screw side anges to framing to secure unit in place. IMPORTANT: Make sure re- place is level before securing. If replace is not level it will not work properly.

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL

TERMINATION

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 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 insulat io n. 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.

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

locating hole as a center point. Opening

/2" square hole in ceiling using

Roof Flashing

should be framed to 11

/2" x 11 1/2" inside dimensions, as shown in Figure 9 on page 10 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 20).

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 twistlocked (see Figure 8, page 10).

3. Cut a hole in roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The 11

/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 9, page 10.

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through hole.

Note: If an offset is needed to avoid

obstructions, you must support vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 19, page 15). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. A 45° elbow offers less restriction

to the ow of ue gases and intake air.

If area above is an attic or insulated area,

install restop above framed hole.

If area above is a living space, install

5. Place ashing over pipe section(s) extending through roof. Secure base of ashing to roof and framing with roong nails. Be sure roong material overlaps top edge of ashing as shown in Figure 19, page 15. 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 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

Figures 21 through 24 show four different congurations for vertical termination.

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.

Note: If vent pipe passes through any occu-

pied areas above rst oor, including storage

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

to combustibles. Do not ll any required air

spaces with insulation.

INSTALLING GAS pIpING TO FIREpLACE LOCATION

WA R N I N G: A q u a l i f i ed service person must connect replace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the replace and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: For natura l

gas, never connect heater 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 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, page 22. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

Page 22

FIREPLACE

INSTALLATION

Continued

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 r each 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.

Propane/LP Supply Tank

Figure 30 - External Regulator with Vent

Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only)

External Regulator With Vent Pointing Down

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

31. 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.

BLOWER ACCESSORY

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

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 during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on left hand side of 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 adjustment screw marked PILOT

clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase ame to proper size (see Figure 43, page 28). Do not remove adjustment screw.

• see Troubleshooting, page 31

located on the left side of switch bracket to the right just inside louver panel.

The BK manual blower and BKT thermostatically-controlled blower have an ON setting and an OFF setting. Blower will only run when switch is in the ON position. In the OFF position, blower will not operate.

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

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

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, ames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect ames after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 46 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 28)

• see Troubleshooting, page 31

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off replace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of replace clean. Inspect these areas of replace before each use. Have replace inspected yearly by a qualied service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

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 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 24 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

www.fmiproducts.com

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page 34). 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.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if

pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replacement intended for this replace (see Replace- ment Parts, page 34 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Remov- ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 24 for instructions 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 Lava Rock and Glowing Embers, page 25, 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 34.

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 ashlight into the vent. Remove any foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. 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.

TROUbLEShOOTING
