INTERNATIONAL in accordance with THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS
INSTITUTE - ANSI Z21.50, CSA Test Report No. 188842-1049553.
This manual serves only as a basic guideline for installation and use of this firebox and gas piping. The complete installation must be in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or, in the absence of local codes, with the American National Standards
Institute National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 latest edition.
GENERAL INFORMATION
MODEL SF3624-TV IS A TOP-VENTED DECORATIVE GAS APPLIANCE. IT IS
DESIGNED TO BURN BY DRAWING COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE AIR KIT THAT ATTACHES TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FIREPLACE.
THE EXHAUST FLUE GASES ARE TO BE VENTED THROUGH THE TOP-VENT USING 8" B-TYPE GAS VENT PIPE. ALL-FUEL CLASS A CHIMNEY PIPE MAY ALSO BE USED.
THE CONTROL SYSTEM IS A MILLIVOLT TYPE THAT INCLUDES A ON-OFF SHUT-
OFF VALVE, A GAS CONTROL VALVE, A STANDING PILOT LIGHT ASSEMBLY, PIEZO IGNITOR AND ON-OFF ROCKER SWITCH.
WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
NOTE: INSTALLATION AND REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON. THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE INSPECTED BEFORE USE AND AT LEAST ANNUALLY BY A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PERSON. MORE FREQUENT
CLEANING MAY BE REQUIRED DUE TO EXCESSIVE LINT FROM CARPETING, BEDDING MATERIAL, ETC. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE UNITS CONTROL
COMPARTMENT, BURNERS, AND CIRCULATING AIR PASSAGE-WAYS BE KEPT CLEAN TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.
CLEARANCES REQUIRED
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR THE FIREBOX ARE:
1/2" ON THE SIDES AND BACK AND 0 AT THE BOTTOM. TOP CLEARANCE IS 3" WHICH IS THE HEIGHT OF TOP STANDOFFS, SEE FIGURE 7.1 FOR FRAMING

GAS PIPING AND GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
All gas piping must be installed to comply with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Unions in gas lines shall be of ground joint type. Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas. Gas piping must be of sufficient size to provide a minimum natural gas pressure at the appliance of 7" water column or 11" for L.P. gases for the purpose of input adjustment. The maximum inlet gas pressure to the unit must not exceed 10" for natural gas, and 13" for LP gases. If this unit is to be supplied with LP gas (bottled propane)the tank or bottle supplying the gas must have a regulator that reduces the gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches water column. The control will not operate with gas line pressure directly from the tank and may leak gas due to this excessive pressure.
DANGER: OPERATION OF THIS UNIT ON LP GAS WITHOUT AN
APPROVED REGULATOR AT THE SUPPLY CONTAINER WILL LEAD TO GAS LEAKS
AT THE CONTROL WITH POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Include a manual shut-off valve and union in the line so the control or heater may be disconnected for servicing. Include a drip leg and a plugged 1/8" N.P.T. tapping into the line also. The tapping must be accessible for the test gauge connection immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the unit. Use a soap and water solution or liquid gas leak detector to coat each joint in the piping system and look for bubbles which indicate gas leaks. Repair all gas leaks.
CAUTION: THE UNIT AND ITS INDIVIDUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING PRESSURE
TESTING OF THAT SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 1/2 PSIG. THE UNIT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM BY CLOSING
ITS INDIVIDUAL MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 1/2 PSIG. PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 1/2 PSIG WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE CONTROL VALVE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SHUT-OFF VALVE.
DANGER: DO NOT USE CANDLES, MATCHES OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES WHEN CHECKING FOR LEAKS. FUEL GASES ARE VERY FLAMMABLE AND IN
CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS, EXPLOSIVE . CHECKING FOR LEAKS WITH AN
OPEN FLAME MAY LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
In planning the installation for the fireplace it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, the routing of the B-type vent system, and whether optional accessories are to be used gas supply piping should also be planned.
Model SF3624-TV (with the use of the Outside Air Kit) can be installed in a bedroom (in the United States) which has a total volume of unconfined space appropriate to the particular installation. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code - (current edition), and Local Building Officials for the options allowed in obtaining an effective bedroom volume of unconfined space.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:
1.A flat combustible surface.
2.A raised wooden platform.
3.Four (4) corner supports.
(Example: four (4) concrete masonry blocks.) These supports must be positioned so they contact all four corner edges on the bottom of the unit.
If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit.
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 7.1 for fireplace and framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: VERIFY FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent run can be planned. Figure
2.1 shows possible locations for the fireplace; inside of a room, flush mount in a chase, or installed in a corner. Using a level, make sure the fireplace is properly positioned and squared.
WARNING: DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE LOCATED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND AWAY FROM FURNITURE AND DRAPERIES. CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
Please note: B-Vent appliances are not designed to operate in negatively pressured environments (pressure within the home is less than pressures outside). Significant negatively pressured environments caused by weather, homes built airtight or other devices may impact the operation of this appliance. Negative pressures my result in poor flame appearance, sooting, damage to property and/or severe personal injury. Do not operate this appliance in negatively pressured environments.

Installing Chimney/Vent System
Model SF3624TV is approved to be used with 8" B-Type Gas Vent or 8" class-A All Fuel Chimney. Under most conditions the fireplace system will draw properly if the chimney height is determined in accordance with the following guidelines:
Note: (90-degree elbows are not approved! Maximum offset angle must not exceed 45 degrees.) Many manufacturers of B-Type gas vent offer “High Performance,” or “High Wind” caps. These caps limit the outlet area for flue gasses to expel and should not be used with this fireplace. In the event of draft related problems due to extreme wind conditions a special wind ring is available.
1.If your chimney penetrates the roof within 10' of its peak, it must be extended at least 24" above your roof’s peak and be at least 36" above the highest point of the roof opening, (see below).
2.If the chimney penetrates the roof farther than 10' from its peak, measure from the centerline of the chimney to a point 10' away, between the chimney and the peak of the roof. The top of the chimney must be at least 36" above the highest point of the roof opening, (see below).
3.The 10' Rule of Thumb is a guide for calculating chimney height that works under most conditions. However, many factors can cause the need for additional chimney height beyond what 10' Rule of Thumb would indicate. Topographical factors can cause high-pressure zones, which prevent a chimney from drawing. This can occur if the house is located in a lowlying area, in a valley or near the base of a cliff or hillside. The same situation can occur if the chimney is near other steep rooflines or tall buildings. Areas with high winds also frequently require higher than normal chimneys.
Certain styles of architecture tend to interfere with a fireplace’s draw. If the room in which the fireplace is located has a very high ceiling, smoke may enter the room unless the chimney is terminated at a level higher than that of the ceiling, even if the 10' Rule of Thumb indicates a shorter chimney height.
Note: Installations which will not allow the 10' rule to be followed must be submitted to Golden Blount Inc. for approval. 1-800-833-1139.
Warning! This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
Note: A draft hood is installed and is in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the appliance and is located so that the relief opening is accessible for checking vent operation.
If your plans do not allow for the venting system as outlined previously in the "Installing chimney/vent system" section, you may contact ENERVEX, Inc. (formerly EXHAUSTO) at 800-255-2923. They will design an approved venting system to suit your venting needs. These power vented systems follow the standards and codes as outlined under the NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 Nation Fuel Gas Code. Please check with the local authority having jurisdiction in your area.
The engineers at ENERVEX are familiar with Golden Blount fireplaces and their systems will allow you to minimize the amount of vent pipe exposed outside of your home. Fireplaces may also be horizontally vented with these systems.
