The Heat-N-Glo fireplace models discussed in this Installers
Guide have been tested to certification standards and listed
by the applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODELS: PIER-TRC, ST-TRC,
L-CORNER-TRC, R-CORNER-TRC
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.50•CGA2.22•UL307B
Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before
installing the fireplace, consult the local building code
agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all
applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in
the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes
(in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70
(in the United States), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric
Code (in Canada).
High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in
the U. S. A. and in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. or 10% for elevations
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value
of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To
identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas
utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting
room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Getting Started
Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat-N-Glo 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 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 Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat-N-Glo
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 Heat-N-Glo.
•Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
•Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured and approved by Heat-N-Glo, 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.

Inchesmm
Glass Sides or Ends .......... 36..................... 914
* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 35).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is to
be measured from the unit outer warp surface to the combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that secure the unit together.
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25 mm).
The metal ends of the fireplace may NOT be recessed into
combustible construction.

For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination
clearance diagrams on pages 27 and 28 in this manual.
Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The diagram below shows framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.
WARNING: FRAMING DIMENSIONS ASSUME
!
USE OF 1/2 INCH THICK WALL COVERING

Framing should be
constructed of 2 X 4
lumber or heavier.
These models are approved to use D-series direct vent pipe
components and terminations (see Figures 6 and 7). Approved vent system components are labeled for identification. 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. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMSOR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent
termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this
Installers Guide.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
VERTICAL
TERMINATION
Identifying Vent Components
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may include one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The relationships 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. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must
be followed if 45° elbows are used.
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 collars NOT used.

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.
To 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 rotate the pipe clockwise 1/4 turn.
• 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 (for inside vent installations) or up past the
roof line until you reach the appropriate distance above
the roof (for outside terminations).

WHEN TIGHTENING
MANUAL
SHUT-OFF
NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality.
(In the state 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 1/2 inch
(13 mm) hook-up at the unit.
This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 inch
(13 mm) gas supply line.
To install the gas supply line:
• A listed (and State of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 inch
(13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a listed
flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch
(13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substituting
for these components, please consult local codes for
compliance.
• 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, use a soap
solution to carefully check all gas connections for leaks.
Step 7. Gas Pressure Requirements
Pressure requirements for Heat-N-Glo gas fireplaces
are shown in the table below.
Maximum Inlet14.0 inches14.0 inches

Step 10. Installing Trim, Logs & Ember Material
Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace,
but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F. (149° C) minimum sealant.
Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag
labeled Golden Ember (GE-93) is flame colorant material.
The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember material.
To place the ember material:
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
!
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/
OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between
combustible material (sheetrock or wood) and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the
bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged
separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the
logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

Heat-N-Glo fireplaces manufactured with tempered glass may
be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub enclosures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass has
been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI Z97.11984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certification
Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural Testing, Inc.
Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Section 1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which
refers to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall accompany the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any
distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory. Please contact your dealer or distributor to order.

Step 11. 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 war-
ranties.
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.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unlessthe gasvalve 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. Turn 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 chemicals
used in the paint and logs.
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 USER’S
!
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.

Maintaining and Servicing Your Fireplace
Fireplace Maintenance
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and maintenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
fireplace maintenance task.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING
YOUR FIREPLACE.
Replacing old ember material
Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape
pieces of Golden Ember (GE-93) and Glowing Ember (050-
721). New ember material should be placed alternately on
top of the burner - a layer of Golden Ember, a layer of
Glowing Ember, and so on. Save the remaining ember
material and repeat this procedure at your next servicing.
For more information, see Placing Ember Material.
Cleaning Burner and Controls
Frequency: Once annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Cleaning Flame Sensor Rod (IPI Systems)
u
Frequency: Periodically.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Make a visual check of the straight flame sensor rod.
Use steel wool or fine sandpaper to carefully remove any
existing white deposits.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’s flame patterns.
Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating.
See Figure 38. The flame sensor (IPI) or thermopile/
u
thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be covered with
flame. See Figure 30.
MAKE SURE THE FLAMES
ARE STEADY—NOT
