PRE-INSTALLATION QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?
It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives,
silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used
with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react
with heat and cause odours).
It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with
the fan off after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of
burn time, keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.
About curing of the paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries
quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone
components, the paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used.
The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable.
Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between
each. Be aware during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside
of the glass doors. It is important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors with an appropriate
cleaner to prevent build-up (such as Windex or a commercial fireplace glass cleaner).
• Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.
• Ventilate well, open doors and windows.
• Do not touch during curing.
Noise coming from the fireplace?
• Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound
produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of your
fireplace.
• Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in
“cracking” and “ticking” sounds throughout the heating and cooling periods.
• You should also be aware that as temperatures change within the unit these sounds will likely reoccur. Again this is normal for steel fireboxes, and is not a defect.
Cleaning the Glass
During the first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front, as part of the curing process. The
glass should be cleaned after the unit has cooled down or the film can bake on and become very difficult
to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and do not attempt to clean the glass while it is hot.

appliance. A knockout is provided at either location to allow for the gas pipe
installation and testing of any gas connection.
2. The gas control inlet is 3/8” NPT. Typical installation layout for rigid pipe is
shown at right.
3. When using copper or flex connector, use only approved fittings. Always provide a union so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.
4. When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for the installation, a condensation trap is needed. See CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 for code details.
5. For natural gas, a minimum of 3/8” iron pipe with gas minimum pressure of 4.5
w.c. must be used for supply from the gas meter. Consult with the local gas utility if any questions arise concerning pipe sizes.
6. A 1/8” NPT plugged tappings are accessible for test gauge connection both on
the inlet and outlet of the gas valve.
7. Turn the gas supply ON and check for leaks. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME
FOR THIS PURPOSE. Use an approved leak testing solution.
8. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
9. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
Note: The gas line connection may be made of 1/2” rigid pipe or an approved
flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is
always best to consult your local authorities and the current CAN/CGA - B149.1
or .2 installation code in Canada or the National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1 in
the U.S.A.

Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes
dust, lint etc. to cling to the glass surface. Also, initial paint curing can
deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that initially the glass be cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive
mon household glass cleansers and warm water. After that, the glass
should be cleaned two or three times a season depending on the circumstances.
Cautions and Warnings
• Do not clean when the glass is hot.
• The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.
• Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
• Do not operate this fireplace without the glass front or with a broken
glass front.
• Do not strike or abuse glass.

Flex Pipe Venting
Flex pipe is shipped in unexpanded length. When installing pipe
expand the lengths. Pipe can be expanded to twice their lengths e.g. 4ft.
to 8ft.
Do not use more than 2 couplers to extend short pipes. Single sections
are preferred in an installation attaching at the fireplace and termination.
Place the spring spaces provided approximately every two feet to stabilize 4” flex in the center of 7” flex. When forming bends place spring
in bend or before and after. (See Fig. 1).
Horizontal runs require support metal straps every 2 feet. In off set
installation support straps should be used to stabilize pipe.
Expand 4” and 7” flex pipe to the point that the 7” protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past outer wall and the 4” flex protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past the 7” flex. See Fig. 1. Attach the 4” pipe to
the termination first and secure with sealant and 4 screws, then attach
the 7” flex to the termination with sealant and 4 screws. Termination
may then be moved back to the outer wall and attached to home by
screwing into the framing. Silicone around termination to waterproof.
If siding shield is going to be used attach this using same attaching hole

Horizontal Venting Routes
Venting Routes And Components
Since it is important that the vent system maintain its
balance between the combustion air intake and the
flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent
configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The table showing the relationship between vertical
and horizontal side wall venting will help to
determine the various vent lengths.
For horizontal vent runs with minimum vertical
venting of 4 feet:
12" to 34" horizontal runs require 1/4" rise per foot.
See Figure 1.
34" to 240" horizontal runs require 2 1/2" rise per foot.
See Figure 2.
For horizontal vent runs using 90° bends with
vertical runs from Fireplace, 1/4" rise per ft. using
venting table. See Fig. 3.
2 additional 90° bends or equals are allowed. The
horizontal run must be reduced by 36" per each 90°
bend, or 18" per each 45° bend.
Maximum vertical run is 40 ft. (12.2 meters)
Locate the fireplace in such a way to minimize the off
sets and/or horizontal runs that are required.
Insulation sleeve over 7" pipe is required for low
profile enclosures with Combustible top 2.0"
from top of flue pipe, to 13.0" from top of flue
pipe. For Combustible top 14.0"+ above flue pipe
require no insulation sleeve in enclosure.

figure below.
Slide a Roof Flashing suitable to your roof slope over the vent. Place
the edge of the flashing plate that will be on the higher part of the roof
slope under the shingles. Both the sides and the lower edge lay on top
of the shingles.
NOTE: At the top edge of the flashing plate, lift the shingles and
nail the plate to the roof deck, then cement the shingles to the plate
with a suitable waterproof mastic.
Ensure that the chimney is plumb. Square up the flashing plate and nail
in place to the roof deck. Use 12 nails with neoprene washers or cover
the heads with a suitable waterproof mastic.
Wrap the storm collar around the vent above the flashing. Secure the
ends together loosely with nut and bolt supplied. Slide the collar down
the vent until it comes in contact with the flashing. Tighten the bolt and
seal the Storm Collar to the vent with a suitable waterproof non-combustible mastic.

Vertical Venting in Cold
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or 14
degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend that
the chase be insulated and where the vent
pipe enters into the attic space that the
pipe be wrapped with an insulated mylar
sleeve. This will increase the temperature
of the vent and help the appliance to vent
properly in cold weather conditions.
It is also important in vertical vented
direct vent appliances that the appliance
be operated daily during the winter
months as this will help stop the
Termination from freezing up. We recommend using a thermostat set at room temperature to allow the unit to cycle.
The flashing and storm collar should be painted to match the roof shingles. This will extend its life and improve the appearance. Clean, prime
and paint with suitable painting products.
Climates
4. Avoid cutting joists by offsetting the flex pipe. See Fig. 2.
5. When using 45˚ bends a bend support is required directly above the highest
bend.
6. When installing a bend in a joist area a minimum of 4” clearance to combustible to the top of bend must be maintained, sides and bottom of pipe, a
1” clearance to combustibles must be maintained. If running horizontal
through an area a 2
1
/2” clearance to the top of the horizontal pipe must be
maintained.
7. Maximum vertical height of system should not exceed 40 feet. Use only
FDVVT40 Vertical Vent Termination on this Appliance when vertical
venting.
8. Use roof support and 7” rigid pipe at roof level. Flex not permitted with in
roof support.
9. When penetrating the roof a rigid 7” galvanized pipe must be used. Attach
the 7” flex to the 7” rigid with high temperature sealant and use four screws
assuring the flex and rigid pipe are secured. The 4” flex pipe must be
secured the same way with 4 screws. Ensure they penetrate the 4” flex and
4” section of termination. Attach 7” rigid to 7” termination with sealant and
screw with 4 sheet metal screws. (See Fig. 3).
10. Vertical termination clearance is 18” (inches) above the roof, measured
from highest point of exit on the roof line.
11. Support vertical pipes to maintain minimum of one inch or greater clearances to combustibles.
