SAFETY
Continued
This replace must be installed by a qualied (certied 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 log set may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have log set 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 inuence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas: Natural and propane/LP gas 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.

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.
116237-01M 5

• 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 direct-vent gas fireplace system
(replace and venting) is a balanced and
sealed gas operating unit. It requires ap-
proximately 10-20 minutes of operating
time before the ame pattern stabilizes.

PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient 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 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 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 re-
place, it is recommended that you maintain
a minimum 18" above top of louver opening.
• When locating termination cap, it is impor-
tant 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.

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 horizon-
tally 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 13).
• 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 ceilings or attic spaces.
• If using a venting conguration of only
horizontal venting with no vertical run, a
1/4" rise for every 12" of run toward the
termination is required.
• 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: 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 modication of the venting
system (Do not cut or alter vent components).
• Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by FMI PROD-
UCTS, 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. Hori-
zontal 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 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 con-
nections.
Twist-Lock Procedure: Female ends of
pipes have locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into match-
ing slots on male ends of adjacent pipes.
Push pipe sections together and twist
one section clockwise approximately one-
quarter 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 conguration 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 1/2" hole with zero
clearance is acceptable (see Figure 9).

Continued
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 be-
tween it and 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 1/2" square hole and attach to
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 the
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 1/4" (see
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.
