Approvals and
Codes
Appliance Certification
The Heat-N-Glo fireplace models discussed in this
Installers Guide have been tested to certification standards
and listed by the applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODELS: PIER- PV-IPI, ST- PV-IPI
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Vented Gas Fireplace
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.50•CGA2.22•UL307B
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/CGA-B149 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).
High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet
in the U. S. A. and in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. or 10% for elevations
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value
of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To
identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas
utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
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.

Getting Started
Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat-N-Glo gas fireplaces are designed to operate with all
exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
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.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
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 are shipped in separate
packages. The gas logs are shipped in the fireplace and
must be unwrapped before firing the 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 owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat-NGlo disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
• 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.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s 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 accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are 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 1/2 inch (12.5mm).
The metal ends of the fireplace may NOT be recessed
into combustible construction.

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.
WARNING: FRAMING DIMENSIONS ASSUME
!
USE OF 1/2 INCH THICK WALL COVERING
MATERIALS ON EXTERIOR OF FRAMING ONLY
AND NO SHEETROCK ON INTERIOR OF FRAMING.
