Getting Started

Introducing the Hearth & Home
Technologies Gas Fireplaces

Hearth & Home Technologies direct vent gas fireplaces are
designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from
outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to
the outside.

The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.

Pre-install Preparation

This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any

unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.

The vent system components and optional trim doors are
shipped in separate packages. The gas logs are packaged
separately and must be field installed.

Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.

The Hearth & Home T echnologies W arranty will be voided
by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:

• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system
component.

• Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.

• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.

• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.

• Installation and/or use of any component part not manu­factured and approved by Hearth & Home T echnologies,
not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or
other party approval of such component part or acces­sory.

ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.

When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:

• Where the unit is to be installed.

• The vent system configuration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Electrical wiring.

• Framing and finishing details.

• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,

wall switch, or remote control—are desired.

If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Constructing the Fireplace Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas fireplace and/or its vent system. V ertical vents that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.

CAUTION: TREA TMENT OF FIREST OP SPACERS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MA Y V ARY WITH THE
TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILD­ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.

Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in the
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air
drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside
building envelope in any manner.

Note: *If venting with (2) 900 elbows off rear of unit
the dimensions C, D and E will change.

Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,
and Space Requirements

This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever
floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltra­tion barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional
codes for the rest of the home. Additionally , Heat-N-Glo rec­ommends that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked and taped
for maximum air tightness.

T o further prevent draft s, the firestops should be caulked to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being in­stalled on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of
plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold
up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for
woodburning units if they are required.

THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THA T ALL
CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINT AINED
AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INST ALLERS GUIDE.

Step 1. Locating the Fireplace

The following diagram shows space and clearance require­ments for locating a fireplace within a room.

Clearance Requirements

The top and back of the fireplace are defined by stand-offs.
The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall extending
past the face of the fireplace is 3 inches (76mm). The back
of the fireplace may be recessed 16 1/4 inches (413mm)
into combustible construction.

Ceiling* .............................. 31 .................... 787

* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top

of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 34).

The distance from the unit to combustible construction
is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to
the combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads
that secure the unit together.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System

A. Vent System Approvals

This model has vent starting collars on both the top and the
back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide
which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the
vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain
on the starting collar NOT used.

This model uses SL-D-series, direct vent components when
using the TOP vent collars. This pipe is tested and listed
as an approved component of the fireplace. The pipe is
tested to be run inside an enclosed wall. There is no
requirement for inspection openings at each joint within the
wall. There is no required pitch for horizontal vent runs when
using DVP-Series and SL D-Series pipe.

This model also uses DVP-series direct vent components
when using the REAR vent collars.

The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX DVP-SERIES

!

AND SL D-SERIES COMPONENTS IN ANY VENT
SYSTEM CONFIGURA TION.

Identifying Vent Components

Approved vent system components are labeled for identifi­cation. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPO-
NENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation instructions
are included with each vent termination kit and should be
used in conjunction with this Installers Guide. Figure 5
shows vent system components and terminations.

The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in­clude one, two, or three 90°
tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura­tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings
and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.

NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Maximum and minimum rise to run ratios
must always be maintained in the vent system when
using 45° elbows.

Flex Vent

The flex vent must be supported with the spacing between
support intervals not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than ½
inch sag between supports.

A support is required at each change in venting direction,
and in any location where it is necessary to maintain the
necessary clearance to combustibles. A simple “up and out”
installation (Figure 7) requires only enough support to main­tain the necessary clearance to combustibles. However, the
vent attachment point and the firestop location are consid­ered to be supports.

SL-D and SL-Flex Series V enting Only:

1. Att ach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars

To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
of the fireplace:

• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con­centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior
beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com­ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.

• When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up, ro­tate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4)
turn. The vent pipe is now locked together .

• Slide the ceramic fiber pad over the first vent section and
place it flush to the fireplace (see Figure 1). This will
prevent cold air infiltration. High temp caulk may be used
to hold the part in place. Continue to add vent compo­nents.

Figure 18. Adding V enting Components

3. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs - The vent system must be supported

every five (5) feet of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support.
T o inst all support brackets for horizontal runs:

• Place the pipe supports around the vent pipe.

• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.

If the installation is for a termination cap attached directly
to the fireplace, skip to the sections, Install Firestops and

Vent Termination.

2. Continue Adding V ent Component s

• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed­ing component into place.

• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure­ly fitted and locked into the preceding component.

• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el­bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre­ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.

For Vertical Runs - The vent system must be supported
every eight (8) feet (2.4m) above the fireplace flue outlet by
wall brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:

• Attach wall brackets to the vent pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.

STEP 4. Install Firestops
For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both

sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.

NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP or SLK-01TRD does not need
an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall.

To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through
either interior or exterior walls:

Cut a 12” x 10“ (305mm x 25mm) hole through the wall for
DVP-series or a 10” x 10” (254mm x 254mm) hole for SL-D­series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch
(25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.

• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ­ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.

• The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to­wards the top of the hole.

• Continue the vent run through the firestops.

NOTE: There must be NO INSULA TION or other
combustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

10"

(254mm)

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at

the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.
T o install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:

• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti­cal vent component.

• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.

• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.

• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir­ing or plumbing runs.

• Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary,
to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.

• Cut a 10-inch X 10-inch (254mm X 254mm) hole through
the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.

• Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the
ceiling joists.

NOTE: There must be NO INSULA TION or other
combustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

For Vertical Terminations - T o locate the vent and install

V

the vent sections:

• Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside
of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.

• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint
nail.

• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the
pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear­ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.

• Mark the roof hole accordingly.

T o seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the
vent system:

• Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non­hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base
where it meets the roof.

• Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a
water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the
joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.

• Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe
and snap into place.

• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.

• Cut and frame the roof hole.

• Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters
and install the frame securely . Flashing anchored to the
frame must withstand heavy winds.

• Continue to install concentric vent sections up through
the roof hole and up past the roof line until you reach the
appropriate distance above the roof.

Step 6. The Gas Supply Line

NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed by a qualified
service technician in accordance with all building
codes. (In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
installation must be performed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter).

NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas
supply line should be purged of any trapped air.

NOTE: Consult local building codes to properly size
the gas supply line leading to the 3/8 inch (9.5mm)
hook-up at the unit.

This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 3/8 inch (9.5mm)
gas supply line. To install the gas supply line:

• All codes require a listed shut off valve mounted in the

supply line.

• When using copper or flex connector use only listed

fittings. Always provide a union so that gas line can
be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing (see
Figure 30). NOTE: The use of copper is not approved by
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

• Locate the gas line access hole in the outer casing of

the fireplace.

• The gas line may be run from either side of the fireplace

provided the hole in the outer wrap does not exceed 2” in
diameter and it does not penetrate the actual firebox.

• Open the fireplace lower grille, insert the gas supply line

through the gas line hole, and connect it to the shut-off
valve.

• When attaching the pipe, support the control so that the

lines are not bent or torn.

• After the gas line installation is complete, all connec-

tions must be tightened and checked for leaks with a
commercially-available, non-corrosive leak check solu­tion. Be sure to rinse off all leak check solution following
testing.

Warning: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO

!

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

• Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and

pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the
pipe and the outer casing.

• At the gas line access hole the gap between the supply

piping and gas access hole can be plugged with non­combustible insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.

Step 1 1. Before Lighting the Fireplace

Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace

Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions

• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.

Double-check for gas leaks

• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.

• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter­minations or the front grilles.

Double-check for faulty components

• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re­placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally .

You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.

WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE LIGHTING

!

CARD FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERA TION OF THE FIREPLACE.

After the Installation

LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH

!

THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Lava Rock

NOTE: There is more Lava Rock supplied than actually

needed, save any extra for future use. DO NOT place any
Lava Rock below or behind burner assembly or on the burner.
Doing so could cause sooting or delayed ignition. Pour the
Lava Rock from the plastic bag in front and to the left and
right of the burner assembly.

Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.

NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial
start-up. T urn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and
clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for
an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
