A. Design and Installation Considerations
Heat & Glo vented gas appliances are designed to operate
with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of the building.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Sharp Edges
• Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses during installation.
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire
offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to
determine the following information before installing:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system confi guration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
WARNING
Keep appliance dry.
• Mold or rust may cause
odors.
• Water may damage controls.
C. Inspect the Appliance and Components
WARNING
Inspect appliance and components for
damage. Damaged parts may impair safe
operation.
• Do NOT install damaged components.
• Do NOT install incomplete components.
• Do NOT install substitute components.
Report damaged parts to dealer.
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from the
packaging.
• The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages.
• The gas logs may be packaged separately and must be
fi eld installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully
during the installation to ensure maximum safety and
benefi t.
WARNING
B. Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following
tools and building supplies are available.
Reciprocating saw Framing material
Pliers Hi temp caulking material
Hammer Gloves
Phillips screwdriver Framing square
Flat blade screwdriver Electric drill and bits (1/4 in.)
Plumb line Safety glasses

A. Select Appliance Location
When selecting a location for your appliance it is important to
consider the required clearances to walls (See Figure 3.1).
WARNING
Fire Risk
Provide adequate clearance:
• Around air openings.
• For service access.
Locate appliance away from traffi c areas.

B. Construct the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the gas
appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run on
the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be,
installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside
walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The
chase should not break the outside building envelope in any
manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers should
be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of
the home. Additionally, in reagions where cold air infi ltration
may be an issure, the inside surfaces be sheetrocked and
taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the ceiling fi restops should be
caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps. Gas line
holes and other openings should be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of plywood
may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up
into the room.
WARNING
Fire Risk
• Construct chase to all clearance
specifi cations in manual.
• Locate and install appliance to all
clearance specifi cations in manual.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Odor Risk
• Install appliance on hard metal or wood
surfaces extending full width and depth

• Do NOT install appliance directly on
carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible
material other than wood.

Gas Information
A. Fuel Conversion
Before making gas connections ensure appliance being installed is compatible with the available gas type.
Any natural or propane gas conversions necessary to meet
the appliance and locality needs must be made by a qualifi ed technician using Hearth & Home Technologies specifi ed
and approved parts.
B. Gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance
performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made
following NFPA51.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
C. Gas Connection
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI
223.1. Installation should be done by a qualifi ed installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be
performed by a licensed plumber or gas fi tter.)
Note: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve
and fl exible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 in.
(13 mm) control valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult local
codes for compliance.
Refer to Reference Section 14 for location of gas line access
in appliance.
Note: Gas line may be run from the left side of appliance
using the knockout provided. Hole in outer shell NOT to
exceed 2-1/2 in. and should never penetrate the fi rebox.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfire
condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other
household gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in table below. Minimum pressures must be met when other household
gas appliances are operating.
Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum Inlet Pressure 5.0 in. w.c. 11.0 in. w.c.
Maximum Inlet Pressure 7.0 in. w.c. 14.0 in. w.c.
Manifold Pressure 3.5 in. w.c. 10.0 in. w.c.
WARNING
Gas Leak Risk
• Support control when attaching pipe to
prevent bending gas line.
Note: The gap between supply piping and gas access hole
may be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed
with non-combustible, unfaced insulation to prevent cold
air infi ltration.
• Ensure that gas line does not come in contact with outer
wrap of appliance. Follow local codes.
• Incoming gas line should be piped into the valve
compartment and connected to the 1/2 in. connection on
the manual shutoff valve.
