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.

Figure 4.7 Vertical and Horizontal Oset for DVP and SLP Elbows
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams and clearances for termination were made
using the following standards:
• Pipe measurements are shown using the eective length
of pipe. See Section 12.A (Figure 12.1) for information
on eective length of pipe components.
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (flange of termination cap). See
Figure 4.8.
• Vertical terminations are measured to top of last section
of pipe. See Figure 4.9.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.
E. Use of Flex Vent (SLP-FLEX Series 6-5/8
Inch)
The ex vent must be supported with the spacing between
support intervals not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than
1/2 inch sag between supports.
A support is required at each change in venting direction, and in any location where it is necessary to maintain
the necessary clearance to combustibles. A simple “up
and out” installation (Figure 4.10) requires only enough
support to maintain the necessary clearance to combustibles. However, the vent attachment point and the restop
location are considered to be supports.

appliance. Either one or two Heat-Zone® -Gas Kits may
be installed. See Figure 6.2. Remove the knockouts
from the appliance with a tin snips.
• Center the duct collar or passive heat adapter around
the exposed hole and attach it to the appliance. See
Figure 6.5.
Note: Do this BEFORE nal positioning of the appliance.
• Determine the location for the air register/fan housing
assembly.
Reference the Heat-Zone®-Gas Kit, Smart-Wall™ TV Kit,
Heat-Out-Gas Kit or Passive Heat instructions for the
remaining installation steps.
Heat Management System options are:
• HEAT-ZONE®-GAS: The heat is diverted into an
adjacent room.
• HEAT-OUT-GAS: The heat is diverted outside the
home/building.
• Smart-Wall™ TV Kit: The warm air from the appliance
is conveyed through an air duct to remote locations in
the same room or other rooms of the building.
• Passive Heat (PH-FRT-LINEAR, PH-SIDE-LINEAR):
The heat is vented into the room in which the appliance
is installed through a discharge opening(s).
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT remove a knockout
unless a heat management system will be installed in its
place. Appliance and combustible materials will overheat.
REMOVE KNOCKOUTS
Figure 6.5 Proper Positioning, Leveling And Securing Of
Appliance
The COSMO-B models may utilize two Heat Management
Systems, but not all are compatible.
The HEAT-OUT-GAS kit may be used with either HEATZONE®-GAS or one of the Passive Heat options.
Passive Heat may be used with HEAT-OUT-GAS or
one HEAT-ZONE®-GAS. The dedicated knockouts, as
shown in Figure 6.5, must be used only as indicated.
Passive Heat cannot be used with the Smart-Wall TV Kit

DO NOT apply combustible materials beyond the min-
imum clearances. Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specied in this manual. Materials overlapping into non-combustible zones could
ignite and will interfere with air ow through decorative
barrier fronts.
• Metal front of appliance may be covered with noncombustible materials only.
• Facing and/or nishing materials must not interfere
with air ow through decorative barrier fronts, removal
of decorative barrier fronts or access for service.
• Facing and/or finishing materials must never
overhang into the glass opening.
• Observe all clearances when applying combustible
materials.
• Seal gaps between the nished wall and appliance
top and sides using a 300 ºF minimum sealant. Refer
to Figure 10.1 and Figure 10.2.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures around the appliance will
become warm while the appliance is in operation. Ensure
finishing materials used for all surfaces (floor, walls,
mantels, etc.) will withstand temperatures up to 190°F.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specied. Framing closer than the
minimums listed must be constructed entirely of noncombustible materials (i.e., steel studs, concrete board, etc.)
The appliance is designed to accept 1/2 in. wall sheathing
materials such as drywall, plywood, wood composites, or
non-combustible materials. The type of material used
depends whether the installation is an Inside or Overlap
Fit Method. Refer to Section 10.D regarding installation
details associated with the Inside and Overlap Fit
methods.
The factory-supplied non-combustible board must be
used in all installations. It must be directly attached to
structural framing adjacent to the appliance. Screw fasteners should be installed in the pilot holes provided in
the outer perimeter of the non-combustible board. See
Figure 10.1 and Figure 10.2.
The factory-supplied board is designed such that its edges will be at the approximate center of the adjacent framing, assuming it is 1-1/2 in. nominal thickness. This will
allow the wallboard joints to occur on the center of the
framing where the panels can be fastened properly. If the
framing thickness is less than 1-1/2 in. nominal, such as
with formed steel systems, then it may be necessary to
adjust the adjacent framing dimensions so that the noncombustible board and wallboard joints are centered on
the framing.
Finishing Instructions
It is important to follow the framing and nishing instructions to ensure proper placement of replace into the surrounding framing/nishing materials.
Wall sheathing materials 1/2 in. thick are specied in
this installation manual to properly align with the factoryinstalled non-combustible material.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT remove the factoryinstalled non-combustible board or cover it with combustible material, such as:
• Drywall (gypsum board)
• Plywood
• Materials that do not meet the ASTM E 136 Noncombustibility standard (below).
Removal of factory-installed, non-combustible board and/
or use of materials not meeting the ASTM E 136 standard
may cause re.
• Facing and/or nishing materials must not interfere with
air ow through decorative barrier fronts.
• Facing and/or nishing materials must never overhang
into the glass opening.
• Observe all clearances when applying combustible
materials.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply combustible
materials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with
all minimum clearances to combustibles as specied in
this manual. Overlapping materials could ignite and will
interfere with proper operation of decorative barrier fronts.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install drywall or other combustible materials over the factory-installed noncombustible board. Overlapping materials could ignite.
Decorative facing material thickness is measured from
the face of the factory-installed non-combustible board.
See Section 10.D for Overlap Fit and Inside Fit requirements.
Non-Combustible Materials Specication
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete,
slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC.
If the desired nished replace installation does not utilize
non-combustible nishing materials (such as tile, marble,
stone, etc.), special attention must be paid to the installation of drywall/gypsum wallboard to the side joints of
the non-combustible board to minimize potential development of cracking and paint discoloration. Hearth and
Home Technologies has tested the following methods and
materials and therefore recommends the following steps
for the best drywall performance.
Attaching Non-Combustible Board to Framing
1. To ensure the lower cover panel has been correctly
installed, verify that two screws (total) have been
installed in the lower left and right sides of the replace opening. See Figure 8.1. These screws, when
installed, will ensure the lower panel is correctly installed. If the lower cover panel is not correctly installed, the decorative barrier front may not t into the
replace opening correctly. Refer to section 6.D for
more information regarding the included non-combustible board.
2. The appliance ships with the required non-combustible board. The large top piece of non-combustible
board is pre-installed at the factory. The narrow left
and right non-combustible pieces are shipped within
the appliance. Install the non-combustible side pieces
with the screws provided in the manual bag assembly.
There are pilot holes located on the left and right side
columns. Care should be taken not to tighten these
screws into the non-combustible board excessively.
Set screws ush to the face of the non-combustible
board. See Figure 10.2 and Section 6.D.
3. The outer perimeter of the factory-installed non-combustible board has pre-drilled pilot holes. See Figure
10.1. Secure the non-combustible board to adjacent framing with drywall screws that are a minimum
of 1-1/4 inch in length. Care should be taken not to
tighten these screws into the non-combustible board
excessively. Set screws ush to the face of the noncombustible board. See Figure 10.2 and Section 6.D.
4. When installing drywall around the appliance, install
a rectangular hole for the replace/non-combustible
board in a single sheet of drywall. This will minimize
the joints that require nishing adjacent to the replace
opening. Ensure that the 1/8 inch gap is maintained
between the factory installed non-combustible board
and the surrounding drywall. See Figure 10.1. Secure
the drywall to the framing with screws a minimum of
one inch in length every six inches across the top of
the replace and every ten inches on the sides of the
replace.
5. To ensure good adhesion of drywall compounds and
tape, thoroughly clean the non-combustible board and
surrounding drywall to remove dust. The non-combustible board may be primed with a high-quality PVA
primer.

Filling and Finishing Seams
1. Step 1: Fill all gaps and joints between the noncombustible board pieces and the drywall with a
general purpose chemically setting joint compound
such as Durabond® 45 Joint Compound manufactured
by USG (Sheetrock® brand), recommended by Hearth
& Home Technologies. Use a drywall knife to rmly
press the joint compound into all gaps. See Figure
10.1. Allow these joints to dry.
2. Step 2: All joints are to be taped with berglass mesh
tape 1 7/8” minimum width, and embedded with
Setting-Type joint compound, such as with Durabond®
Joint Compound manufactured by USG (Sheetrock®
brand), or equivalent. Allow these joints to dry.
3. Step 3: Depending on the technique used in steps
1 and 2, two to three nishing coats are required to
provide a smooth and durable nish. Hearth and
Home Technologies recommends a lightweight or allpurpose compound. Allow each coat to properly cure.
Allow the nishing coat(s) to cure for 24 hours before
operating appliance.
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends
using multiple pieces of decorative nish material around
the opening of the appliance to reduce the chances of
the material cracking. A single piece of decorative nish
material (such as marble or granite) is more susceptible
to cracking due to uneven heating and cooling which
causes temperature dierentials within the material itself.
The use of multiple pieces will reduce the temperature
dierentials in each piece and reduce the likelihood of
cracks. In addition to using multiple pieces of decorative
nish material, the installation of the Passive Heat optional
heat management system will also reduce the chances of
cracking.
Page 61
Painting
If desired nishing includes a painted wall, a high-quality
100% acrylic latex paint with a high-quality latex primer
base coat are recommended around the appliance to limit
discoloration. Oil-based or standard acrylic paints may
be more prone to discoloration due to heat exposure.
Drywall Joint-Crack Prevention and Repair
Drywall joints around the replace will be aected by exposure to elevated temperatures, along with other environmental, structural factors due to new construction, and
methods used to install and nish the drywall. If a crack
does emerge adjacent to the replace, it can be permanently repaired by lling it with a paintable latex caulk,
followed by repainting.
Some movement of the screws used to secure the noncombustible board to the appliance/surround framing is
expected. If a blemish begins to show over a screw head,
sand the surface to remove the blemish and repaint.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space
clearances to combustibles. Inadequate air space could
cause overheating and re.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space
clearances to combustibles. Failure to comply with
these instructions may cause a re or cause the appliance to overheat.
CAUTION! Risk of Glass Damage and Cuts! DO NOT
drill or install any type of screw or fastener into the lower
cover panel. Sharp screw or fastener tips may penetrate
and break the glass or cause cuts.
The nal replace installation can be accomplished by
either the Overlap Fit or Inside Fit method. Reference
Section 10.D regarding installation details associated
with the Inside Fit and Overlap Fit methods.
It is acceptable to pre-drill holes and use self-tapping
screws in the installed non-combustible board to attach
non-combustible backer board for tile, marble, etc. Refer
to Figure 10.2 for acceptable screw or metal lath location
and screw length requirements.
Do not drill or install screws which may penetrate the
lower cover panel as this will restrict required access
to the glass, battery-backup, and control module. See
Figure 10.2.
Note: If the desired look is painted drywall, it is
recommended that no additional screws are installed into
the factory-provided non-combustible board. Only install
the screws provided into the pilot holes located in the
factory-provided non-combustible board.
