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 C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).
These models (natural gas and propane) can be installed in a bedroom (in the
United States) which has a total volume of unconfined space appropriate to the
particular installation. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54
(current edition). The Uniform Mechanical Code - (current edition), and local
Building Officials for the options allowed in obtaining an effective bedroom
volume of unconfined space.
These models (natural gas and propane) can be installed in a bedroom (in
Canada) if a thermostat (Model WH-STAT) is installed with the unit. Consult
local code authorities. Detailed installation instructions for Model WH-STAT are
included with the kit.
Z21.50CGA2.2
High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet
in the U.S.A. and are tested and approved for elevations 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.

Heat-N-Glo
Gas Fireplaces
Pre-installation
Preparation
Heat-N-Glo B-type vent gas fireplaces are designed to
operate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside
of the building.
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 InstallersGuide. 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. Log installation
instructions are provided in the manual bag assembly
shipped with unit. 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 owners
warranty and may present a fire hazard.

When planning a fireplace installation, its 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 accessoriesdevices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote
controlare 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.

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 (25mm).
The minimum clearance from the top face of the fireplace
to combustible finishing materials such as drywall, is one
inch (25mm).
The back of the fireplace may be recessed 21 1/2
inches (546mm) into combustible construction.
Minimum Clearances from the B-Type Vent
Pipe to Combustible Materials is 1 inch (25mm)
all around the pipe.

Step 2
Framing the
Fireplace
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.
CAUTION
MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL
COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING
CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
WARNING:
To ensure proper
clearances the front
framing header must be
installed on its narrow
edge and to the front of
the frame.
Framing should be constructed of 2 X 4 lumber or heavier.

Negative
Pressure
Make-up Air
Negative Pressure warning: When negative
pressure is present, an atmospherically vented
fireplace (with a draft hood) may not function
properly and it may down draft. In the case of a
gas appliance, spillage of the combustion gases
may occur. This may create a dangerouscarbonmonoxide situation in the house.
The causes of negative pressure to a house can
include the following:
Stack effect in the building.
Exhaust only appliances (mechanically and
atmospherically vented).
Inadequate make-up air (which is increasingly
more prevalent in new construction).
It is recommended that all natural venting non-air
tight gas fireplaces have outside air connected
to them. It is also recommended that the building
be mechanically or passively balanced to allow
