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

Appliance Certification

The Heat-N-Glo fireplace models discussed in this

standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.

have been tested to certification

CERTIFICATION

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 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.

Introducing the
Heat-N-Glo
Gas Appliances

Heat-N-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.

Pre-installation
Preparation

The information contained in this
unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas
control systems.

Gas appliance diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.

This gas insert and its components are tested and
safe when installed in accordance with this

. 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 surrounds are
shipped in separate packages. The gas logs are
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.

The Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat­N-Glo disclaims any responsibility for, the following
actions:

Getting
Started

• 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.

VENTING AND INSTALLA TION

1. Heat -N-Glo gas inserts are designed for recessed installations into solid fuel
Masonry or Factory Built Non Combustible fireplaces that have been installed in
accordance with the National, Provincial, State and local building codes.

2. Minimum fireplace opening requirements are shown in Figure 1 of this instal­lation manual. The firebrick (refactory) can be removed from a factory built
fireplace in order to gain minimum gas insert opening requirements.

3. To assure top performance, safety and efficiency, inserts must be installed
with an approved flue liner as per CAN/CGA B-149 or National Fuel Code
ANSI Z223 and these instructions.

WARNING
THE SOLID FUEL FIREPLACE HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE
WITH GAS ONLY AND CANNOT BE USED FOR BURNING WOOD
OR SOLID FUELS UNLESS ALL ORIGINAL PARTS HAVE BEEN
REPLACED AND THE FIREPLACE HAS BEEN REAPPROVED BY
THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.

4. The solid fuel fireplace’s flue damper must be fully locked in the open position
or removed for installation.

5. The chimney must be cleaned and in good working order and constructed of
noncombustible materials.

6. Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so air cannot leak into the
chimney.

7. Install the insert without the trim surround and make all gas, venting, and
electrical connections.

WARNING
Under no circumstances cutting of sheet metal surfaces are al­lowed for installation.

If the factory built fireplace has no gas access holes provided, an
access hole of 1” diameter (25mm) or less may be drilled through
the lower sides or bottom of the combustion chamber in a proper
workmanship like manner.

8. Install decorative trim surround. Please refer to instructions included with the
trim surround.

3

Ensure there are no obstructions to side air passages of decorative
trim once installed on insert.

When planning a fireplace insert installation, it’s necessary to determine:

• The vent system configuration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a wall switch, or remote

control—are desired.
