Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional outside air source is required.
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult local building, fi re offi cials or authorities having jurisdic-
tion about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to
determine the following information before installing:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system confi guration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
C. Inspect Appliance and Components
WARNING
Inspect appliance and components for damage.
Damaged parts may impair safe operation.
• Do NOT install damaged components.
• Do NOT install incomplete components.
• Do NOT install substitute components.
Report damaged parts to dealer.
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages.
• The gas logs may be packaged separately and must be
fi eld installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benefi t.
WARNING
WARNING
Keep appliance dry.
• Mold or rust may cause odors.
• Water may damage controls.

Heat & Glo • Escape-36DV • 2012-900 • Rev. AB • 10/086
D. Inspect Firebox
Surface cracking or crazing of fi rebrick material is normal
and expected. The following types of cracks are acceptable
and do not require replacement of the unit or the fi rebox:
• Cracks that do not propagate entirely thru the material.
• Light fracture lines or “spider-webbing” on the surface of
the material.
• Cracks that are less than 1/32 in. wide and less than 3
in. long.
• If cosmetically unacceptable, such cracks may be
repaired with the SRV-PACK service kit. See Service
Parts List.
Cracks that are unacceptable:
• Cracks greater than 1/32 in. wide and 3 in. long are at
risk of growing.
• Cracks that penetrate entirely through the firebrick
material.
Inspection for cracking should be run when the appliance
is cool. Cracks tend to close as the appliance heats up.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that
run on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be, installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
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.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling
fi restops should be caulked with high temperature caulk
to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should
be caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced
insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement
slab, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.

C. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams were made using the following standards.
1. Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe (see Figure 5.2).
2. Measurements are made from the appliance outer wrap,
not from the standoffs.
3. Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap) (see
Figure 4.1).
4. V ertical terminations are measured to bottom of termination cap.
5. Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see
Figure 5.1).
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow . On
45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8.5 inches horizontal run and 8.5 inches vertical run. A length of straight
pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows (see Figure 5.1).
