battery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent
oor level.
In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can
not be met at the time of completion of installation, the
owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply
with the above requirements; provided, however, that during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon
monoxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.
Inspection
The state or local gas inspector of the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment shall not approve the
installation unless, upon inspection, the inspector observes carbon monoxide detectors and signage installed
in accordance with the provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1
through 4.
Exemptions
The following equipment is exempt from 248 CMR 5.08(2)

Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Read all instructions before starting the installation.
Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
No additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, re ocials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system conguration to be used. If Passive
Heat will be installed, consider location of discharge
opening in relation to venting and other construction
materials.
• Gas supply piping requirements.
• Provisions for optional heat management system.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
Installation and service of this appliance should be performed by
qualied personnel. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends
HHT Factory Trained or NFI certied professionals.

This appliance is designed to be recessed into combustible framing with non-combustible material pre-installed
on top and side. Drywall or combustible materials (minimum 1/2 inch thick) are designed to contact the noncombustible material/appliance as called out in Section
10 Finishing.
This appliance has been thoroughly tested to minimize
drywall cracking and/or the protrusion of screws “screw
pops" when framed as shown below.
Framing should be done in a manner similar to framing a
window or door: Double-2x4/2x6 as a header for horizontal strength and utilizing Jack or Trimmer stud fastened to
the King studs for vertical strength.

NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on
carpeting, vinyl, or any combustible material other than
wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with replace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a re.
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling restops and wall shield
restops 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,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.
NOTICE: Where required by code, install only sprinkler
heads with a sprinkler activation temperature classied
as Extra High.
• Sprinklers inside of chase: Keep sprinkler head away
from vent and chimney.
• Heat Management applications: Maintain 36 inches of
clearance to openings from which heat is discharged
such as convection slots, passive heat registers, heat
zone registers, etc. Refer to Section 6.B for Heat
Management options allowed for this appliance.
Chases should be constructed and insulated in the same
manner as the thermal envelope of the home based on
the code requirements for that climate zone to prevent air
leakage and draft problems. The chase is an extension of
the building thermal envelope.
To further prevent drafts and air leakage, the wall shield
and ceiling restops should be sealed with caulk with
a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should
be sealed with caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating or stued with unfaced insulation. If the
appliance is being installed on a cement surface, a layer of
plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting
cold up into the room.
Minimum height requirements for an exterior chase on a topvented appliance are shown in Figure 3.12. Reference Figure 4.5 for additional clearances.

SLP-FLEX7 (7 Inch-Canada Only): Venting requires
adapter collars to transition from the 6-5/8 IN. appliance
starting collar and to the 6-5/8 IN. termination cap. Refer
to installation instructions included with the SLP-FLEX7
collar adapter (SLP-FLEX7-A). SLP-FLEX7 Series venting is approved for use in Canada only.
The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall.
There is no requirement for inspection openings at each
joint within the wall.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation. This appli-
ance requires a separate vent. DO NOT vent to a pipe
serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
* If using decorative cap cover(s), this distance may need to be increased.
Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the decorative cap cover.
** If two gas terminations are present, they may be level (B = 0 inches)
provided A is a minimum of 6 inches.

CAUTION! Risk of Burns! Termination caps are HOT,
consider proximity to doors, trac areas or where people
may pass or gather (sidewalk, deck, patio, etc.). Listed
cap shields available. Contact your dealer.
• Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.
• Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility
for the improper performance of the appliance when the
venting system does not meet these requirements.
• Vinyl protection kits are suggested for use with vinyl siding.
• Measure horizontal and vertical termination cap clearances
as noted in Figure 4.3 and Figure 4.4.

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects when calculating the eects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. See
Figure 4.6.
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
On 45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 inch
(216 mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 inch (216 mm) vertical
run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º
elbows. See Figure 4.6.
