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.

Appliance Certification

The Heat-N-Glo fireplace models discussed in this

Installers Guide

standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.

Decorative

have been tested to certification

CERTIFICA TION

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/CGAB149 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 C22.1Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).

These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

High Altitude Installations

A.G.A. Design Certified fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet. CGA certified fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 4,500 feet.

When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply . To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility .

When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).

When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.

Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for your location.

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.

Pre-installation Preparation

The information contained in this unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control systems.

Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions, are shown in this section.

This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this

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 are factory installed (Model 8000GDVFL and 6000GDVFL) and are packaged separately and must be field installed (Model 6000XL). 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.

Installers Guide

Installers

Getting Started

The Heat-N-Glo Fireplace Products, Inc. Warranty will be voided by , and Heat-N-Glo Fireplace Products, Inc. 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 Fireplace Products, Inc.

• 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 Fireplace Products, Inc., 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.

Installing the Fireplace

Step 1 Locating the Fireplace

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

Figure 3. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations, and

Space Requirements

Clearance Requirements

The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by stand-offs.

Minimum Clearances from the Fireplace to

Front Floor Fireplace Fireplace Fireplace Ceiling

36 inches 0 1/2 inch 1/2 inch 3-1/2 inches 31 inches (914 mm) (13 mm) (13 mm) (89 mm) (787 mm)

The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25 mm).

For 6000 Series Models, the back of the fireplace may be recessed 21-1/2 inches (546 mm) into combustible construction.

For the 8000 GDVFL, the back of the fireplace may be recessed 24-7/8 inches (632 mm) into combustible construction.

For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination clearance diagrams on pages 20 and 22 in this section.

Step 2 Framing the Fireplace

CAUTION

The framing headers may rest on the fireplace stand-offs.

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.

MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING DETAILS, BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.

Framing should be constructed of 2 X 4 lumber or heavier.

Step 3 Installing the V ent System

A. Vent System Approvals

These appliances are approved to use D-series direct vent pipe components and terminations. Approved vent system components are labeled for identification.

NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed

system components and terminations.

Identifying Vent Components

The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may include one, two, or three 90° 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.
