Appliance Certification

The Heat-N-Glo fireplace model discussed in this Installers Guide has been tested to certification standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.

CERTIFICATION

Z21.50 CGA2.22/IR#41

Approvals and Codes

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/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).

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

High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to 4,500 feet in Canada.

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

Pre-install Preparation

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.

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 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.

Getting Started

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.

Step 2 Framing the Fireplace

CAUTION

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 Vent System

A. Vent System Approvals

This model is approved to use D-series direct vent pipe components and terminations. 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 SYSTEMS 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 drawing below shows vent system components and terminations.

The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

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.

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.
