This ¿ replace system has been tested and listed in accor-
dance with UL 127 and ULC-S610 standards by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for installation and operation in the
United States and Canada.
This ¿ replace has been tested and listed for use with the op-
tional components speci¿ ed in this manual. These optional
components may be purchased separately and installed at

Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
¿ re of¿ cials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
When planning a ¿ replace installation, it is necessary to de-
termine the following information before installing:
• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections
3 and 4.
• The vent system con¿ guration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
• Gas supply piping. See Section 7.
• Framing and ¿ nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall
switch or remote control —are desired. See Section 12.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent ¿ replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of ¿ replace and chimney
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk
Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft
properly for safe operation.
B. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the ¿ replace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).
• Range hoods.
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances.
• Clothes dryers.
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning.
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.
• Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks.
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the following must be considered:
• Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the ¿ replace.
• Avoid installing the ¿ replace near doors, walkways or small
isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design; attic
hatches weather stripped or sealed; attic mounted duct
work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.
• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent ¿ replaces in basements.
Heat & Glo • EXCLAIM-42C • 4013-094 Rev I • 10/06

Location of the ¿ replace and chimney will affect performance.
As shown in Figure 2.1 the chimney should:
• Be installed through the warm airspace enclosed by the
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,
especially during lighting and die-down of the ¿ re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the
effects of wind turbulence.
• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven
roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized.
Consider the ¿ replace location relative to À oor and ceiling
and attic joists.

E. Construct the Chase
¨
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the ¿ re-
place and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on
the outside of a building must 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. All outer walls need to be insulated.
Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling ¿ restops at
each À oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space
to control spread of ¿ re.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever À oor at the ¿ rst level
of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 3.5. V apor and
air in¿ ltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per
regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth
& Home Technologies recommends that the inside surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equivalent
method) for maximum air tightness.
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced ¿ berglass in-
sulation. If the ¿ replace is being installed on a cement slab,
we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.
Three examples of chase applications are shown in Figure 3.6.
1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.
2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in
chase.
3. Chase constructed on roof.
All outside walls should be insulated.

F. Chimney Requirements
When planning your ¿ replace location, the chimney con-
struction and necessary clearances must be considered.
The ¿ replace system and chimney components have been
tested to provide À exibility in construction. Vertical distances
are measured from the base of the ¿ replace as shown in
Figure 5.2.

CAUTION

• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
during installation.
A. Install the Outside Air Kit
This ¿ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ¿ replace system.
See Section 2.
The outside air kit is supplied with this ¿ replace and its use
is highly recommended to minimize the effects of negative
pressure within the structure. We recommend you utilize the
shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the outside
air kit. Cold air À ow can be minimized by putting a small dip
in the duct creating a cold air trap. This trap can also help
prevent heat build-up and exhausting out the intake due to
the stack effect. The outside air kit inlet should be positioned
in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block
the inlet. In some installations the air duct may need to be
run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft (.914 m) height
difference must be maintained from the top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside combustion air inlet.
See Figure 4.2.
See Figure 4.3 for proper placement of outside air inlet.
The outside air kit is installed on the left hand side of the
¿ replace. See Figure 4.4 for handle location/operation.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
Do not draw outside combustion air from:
• Wall, À oor or ceiling cavity.
• Enclosed space such as an attic or
garage.
• Close proximity to exhaust vents or
chimneys.
Fumes or odor may result.
CAUTION
Risk of Smoke Spillage
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage
from:
• Leaves
