A) PREPARE THE EXISTING FIREPLACE
WARNING: CUTTING ANY SHEET-METAL PARTS OF THE FIREPLACE, IN WHICH THIS GAS
FIREPLACE INSERT IS TO BE INSTALLED, IS PROHIBITED.
1)The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates may be removed from the
fireplace before installing this gas fireplace insert.
2)Any smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.
3)If necessary, remove the firebrick on the sides and back of the existing fireplace to obtain at least the
minimum opening requirements listed on page #2.
4)The fireplace flue damper can be fully blocked open or removed for installation of this gas fireplace
insert.
5)Trim panels or surrounds shall not seal ventilation openings in the fireplace.
6)Remove the existing chimney cap from the chimney.
7)Clean the chimney and inside of the fireplace to prevent creosote smell from entering the home.
8)Place ‘THIS UNIT HAS BEEN MODIFIED’ label in the bottom of the firebox so it will be visible if this
gas fireplace insert is removed.
B. RUN THE GAS LINE
CAUTION:Installation of the gas line must only be done by a qualified person in
accordance with local building codes.
This fireplace insert is equipped with a 3/8" flexible gas line connection 18" long.
CAUTION: The manual shut off valve and millivolt board flexible gas line must not extend outside the insert
cavity. See the WARNING label affixed to the flexible gas line for additional installation instructions
and warnings.
1. Run the gas line into the fireplace, preferably through the side or back, 2” from the bottom of the fireplace.
See Figure B-1 on page #5.
If installing this gas fireplace insert into a factory-built fireplace and the factory-built fireplace has no access
holes(s) provided, an access hole of 1 ½" or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the
firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible
insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
A flexible connector should then be attached to the previously run gas line to the point where the manual
shut off valve and millivolt board flexible gas line will connect.
IMPORTANT: An accessible shut off valve (included with this fireplace insert) must be installed up stream from
the regulator.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RUN THE GAS LINE IN A MANNER THAT WOULD OBSTRUCT THE OPERATION
OF THE FAN OR POSITION OF THE SPEED CONTROL.

Figure B-1
2. This fireplace insert is designed to accept either a 3/8" or 1/2" gas line approved for gas appliances. Consult
local building codes to properly size the gas supply line leading to a 3/8" reduction.
3. Connect the manual shut off valve to the previous run gas line.
4. The gas line will be connected to the millivolt board later in this manual.
IMPORTANT:
ALL CONNECTIONS WHETHER FIELD OR FACTORY MADE MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS.
NOTE:This appliance and its individual shut off 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 psi.
NOTE:This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping sy stems at test pressures equal to or less than1/2
psi.
Pressure check taps for both the manifold (outgoing) and inlet (incoming ) pressures are located in front of the gas
valve. The right pressure tap is the manifold pressure and the left pressure tap is the incoming pressure. Follow
instructions on page #21 for checking these pressures.

glass assembly (under the firebox).
B) While holding onto the glass frame, pull the latch
handles out to release from the clips on the glass
assembly.
C) Pull the bottom of the glass assembly out
releasing the tabs at the back of the glass
assembly from the slots in the firebox face, then
lift up off the tabs at the top of the firebox.
D) Set aside where it will not be broken.
E) Remove the log package and bottom refractory
from inside the firebox and set aside for
installation later in this manual.
2. MILLIVOLT BOARD.
A) Loosen and remove the (2) nuts securing the
burner cover. Remove the burner cover by lifting
the front of the cover up, then carefully slide the
burner tube off the orifice. Remove entire assembly
from the firebox. Figure C-2.
1/4" NUTS SECURING BURNER COVER
B) Remove the pilot shield. Figure C-3.
Figure C-2
C) Loosen and remove the (2) 1/4" nuts securing the millivolt board to the firebox bottom. Lift the board
off the studs and remove from the firebox. Figure C-3.

.
NOTE:The millivolt board is secured with (2) nuts at the factory. After the millivolt board is properly installed it
must be secured with 8 nuts as shown above (6 additional nuts are included in the components packet).
The burner / cover assembly is then placed over the millivolt board and secured with 2 nuts.

3. REMOVE THE AIR DUCT. Figure C-4.
A. Pull the lower end of the air duct out of the (4)
mounting holes at the back and lift the air duct
(manifold) up from the top of the firebox and
set aside.
Figure C-4
D. INSTALLING THE INSERT
IMPORTANT: ALL STEPS IN SECTION ‘A) PREPARE THE EXISTING FIREPLACE’ MUST BE
COMPLETED BEFORE CONTINUING WITH THIS INSTALLATION.
1. Restrictor Installation
The restrictor plate included in this fireplace
components packet can be installed as either a larg e
or small restrictor, depending on your specific venting
configuration.
There are several factors which can affect proper draft
of the vent system and the burner operation of a
fireplace. Installing a restrictor may be necessary to
resolve the problem, even though it may not be
required under ‘normal conditions’.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT INSTALL IF THE VENTING
CONFIGURATION IS AT THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS!
The restrictor included is sized as the ‘large’ restrictor,
Figure D-1. To reduce the size to the ‘small’ restrictor,
simply bend the section without the tabs off at the
perforation and discard. Figure D-2.
To install the restrictor, refer to Figure D-3 and bend the tabs ‘up’ far enough (approximately 180-degrees) so that
when positioned into the exhaust pipe, will create tension to hold itself in place. Do not over bend the tabs! Slide
the restrictor into the exhaust pipe with the tabs pointing toward you. Access to the exhaust pipe can be gained
by removing the nuts securing the exhaust baffle at the back of the firebox.

2. INSTALL THE VENT SYSTEM
NOTE: The 4” exhaust pipe and 3” combustion air intake pipe will extend 25 ft. An optional extension kit (Part #510)
is available to extend the #815-CL kit up to a maximum of 40 ft.
A. Carefully extend the 3” combustio n i n t ake an d 4” exh aust p ipes an d exten sion kit (if used )
to equal the total chimney length required.
B. 1. Slide the 3" intake pipe (end without the collar) onto the collar on the termination cap and
secure with 3 self-tapping screws (provided).
2. Place a bead of sealant around th e inner ed ge of the 4" exhaust pipe (end w ithout the
collar) and slide onto the corresponding collar on the termination c ap. Secure with 3 selftapping screws (provided). Apply additional sealant around the joint to ensure a seal.
C. If an extension kit is being used, it must be connected as follows:
Exhaust extension: Apply a liberal bead of sealant (provided) around the exhaust adaptor (male)
extension pipe and slide into the female connector on the end of the 4” exhaust pipe already attached
to the chimney termination plates. Secure with 3 self-tapping screws, (provided). To ensure an airtight seal, additional sealant should be applied at the point of connection.
Combustion intake extension: Apply a liberal bead of sealant (provided) around the male end of
the extension kit and slide into female end of the 3” combustion intake pipe attached to the chimney
termination plates. Secure with 3 self-tapping screws (provided). To ensure an air-tight seal,
additional sealant should be applied at the point of connection.
