Getting Started
Introducing the Heat & Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat & 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 and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be 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 & Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat & 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 & 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 & 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.
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas fireplace 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.
CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MAY VARY 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.
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, in regions where cold air infiltration may be an issue, the inside
surfaces may be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air
tightness.

Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,
and Space Requirements
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling firestops
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.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THAT ALL
CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED
AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS 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, 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 back of the fireplace may be recessed 21 1/2 inches
(546 mm) into combustible construction.
* See Figure 3.
** The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 38).
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.
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.
Framing should be
constructed of 2 X 4
lumber or heavier.

These models are approved to use DVP-series direct vent
pipe components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5).
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 SYS-TEMS OR 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 collar NOT used.

NOTE: This also pertains to vertical vent systems installed on the outside of the building.
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 snap into place.
Step 4. Positioning, Leveling, and
Securing the Fireplace
The diagram below shows how to properly position, level,
and secure the fireplace.
Figure 30. Minimum Height from Roof to
Lowest Discharge Opening
For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install
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.
NAILING TABS
(BOTH SIDES)
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the
pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear-
ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.
• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.
Figure 31. Proper Positioning,
Leveling and Securing of a Fireplace
• 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).
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 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 1/2 inch (13mm)
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 Commonwealth 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 1/2”
in diameter and it does not penetrate the actual firebox.
• The gap between the supply piping and gas access hole
can be plugged with non-combustible insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.
• 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 connections 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.
• At the gas line access hole, use insulation to re-pack
the space around the gas pipe.
• Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and
pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the
pipe and the outer casing.
Use a wrench on
shut-off valve when
tightening gas line.

• Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. Care
should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports
(from back to front).
• When placing Glowing embers onto the burner care
should be taken so that the ports are not covered. Place
the embers along side the port trail, but not on or in
between the ports (see Figure 42). Failure to follow this
procedure will likely cause lighting and sooting problems.
• Place Mystic embers on areas of base refractory away
from port holes. Use this material to give your fireplace a
realistic ash bed.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during fireplace servicing.
• Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.
• Pull out and latch the glass clips into the groove on the
glass frame.

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.
Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. To place
the ember material:
• Pull the four glass latches out of the groove on the glass
frame. Remove glass door from the unit (see Figure 41).
Heat & 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
Z97.1-1984 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 SPCS 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.”
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 products
used in the paint and logs.
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 12. Before 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, unless the gasvalve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
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.
Air Shutter Setting
This fireplace has an adjustable air shutter (which controls
the primary air) factory set for the minimum vertical vent run
(see Figure 43). If your installation has more than the
minimum required vertical vent length, adjustment of the air
shutter may be necessary to obtain optimal flame
appearance. This should be adjusted by a qualified
installer at the time of installation.
By pushing the air shutter handle in, you will be closing the
air shutter. To adjust loosen the wing nut. Care should be
taken when adjusting the air shutter so as not to cause the
fireplace to soot. If sooting occurs the air shutter will need
to be opened by pulling the handle out. When finished tighten
wing nut.
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.
