B) PREPARE THE FIREPLACE
Note: This fireplace is shipped as a standard see-thru model. When a pier model is desired, a pier conversion kit is used and
installed later in this manual.
Follow the instructions below for glass assemblies, regardless of which model you are installing:
1. REMOVE THE GLASS ASSEMBLY:
Figure 2
Figure 2.
FIREPLACE ‘FRONT’ SIDE:
A. Locate the spring-loaded handles securing the glass
assembly (under the firebox).
B. Pull the handles out, then down to release the glass
assembly.
C. Pull the bottom of the glass assembly out and lift up off
the tabs at the top (A).
D. Set aside where it will not be broken.
FIREPLACE ‘BACK’ SIDE:
A. Locate the latches securing the glass assembly (under
the firebox).
B. Flip the back of the latch down to release the glass
assembly.
C. Pull the bottom the glass assembly out and lift up off the
tabs at the top (A).
D. Set aside where it will not be broken.
C) POSITION THE FIREPLACE. See Figures 3, 4A, 4B, & 4C.
1. Determine the exact position of your fireplace, vent run and vent
termination cap location.
NOTE: A hearth is not required. If a hearth is desired, combustible
materials may be used.
(Spring-loaded Handle side shown.)
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
IMPORTANT: The vent termination cap location must comply with the
clearances as shown on page #9. A firestop adaptor is included with
this fireplace and must be used in conjunction with the chimney system
firestop / wall thimble to ensure proper clearances are maintained when
the chimney passes thru the wall.
VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Refer to instructions included with the Simpson Dura-Vent DV-GS for
positioning the chimney system.
NOTE: Even though the minimum clearance from the top and sides is
0 ", we recommend that you allow an expansion space of 1/4" from the
top & sides to prevent cracking of face materials due to expansion of
the unit during heating. If expansion room is not left, the unit will make
a loud ‘banging’ noise when it heats up or cools down.
NOTE: When the unit is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible materials other than wood flooring, it must be installed on
a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit.
The minimum for the support platform under the unit is 20" deep by 36"
wide. If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare the nec essary
foundation for the masonry load. When masonry construction is being
used, a lintel must be used over the top of the unit to support the added
weight.
CAUTION: COLD AIR TRANSFER AREA. The surrounding outside
wall must be insulated to prevent cold air from entering the room.
Provide for a minimum of 6" of clearance in front of the lower grill. This
will provide adequate space to open and operate the controls behind
the lower grill.
Do not obstruct the upper and lower grill areas to allow proper
ventilation air around the fireplace. Room air enters the convection
passageway at the lower grill, and exits outt the upper grill. DO NOT
BLOCK THIS PASSAGE.
NOTE: Due to high temperatures, this unit should be located out
of traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
Rough opening dimensions differ on the ‘front and back sides’.
The opening on one side must be a minimum of 38" wide to
allow adequate room to slide the unit into position. See page #7.
NOTE: The control valve assembly may be rotated so that it is
accessible from the opposite side from which it was
manufactured. Refer to page
SEE-THRU INSTALLATIONS:
#14.
Page 5
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS:
1. Determine width & depth of the hearth (optional).
2. Determine the vent run and termination cap location. If possible, place the fireplace in such a manner that the piping will be placed
between two studs so additional framing is not necessary.
NOTE: Allow a minimum of 18" between the unit and inside wall to comply with minimum termination requirements. See
pages #8-#11 for horizontal termination guidelines.
3. Cut a hole for the wall thimble, 11 ½" high x 10 ½" wide. The top
of this hole must be a minimum:
#700 Series Flexible Vent System: 46" * above the height of the optional hearth.
Simpson Dura-Vent DV-GS System: 47 1/4" * above the height of the optional hearth.
* IMPORTANT: This measurement is determined by the vertical and horizontal length of the venting application desired. The measurement
is to the TOP of the pipe. Please refer to information below through page #12 of this installation manual for requirements and restrictions.
4. Rough in the wall enclosure.
SEE-THRU INSTALLATIONS: Rough opening dimensions are: Front face - 36 ½" wide x 32 ½" high Back face - 38" wide x 32 ½" high
(above the height of the optional hearth). Depth is determined by the thickness of face materials being used. IMPORTANT! The fireplace
depth is 20". See Figure 3 below.
Figure 3
SEE-THRU MODEL SHOWN IN ABOVE FIGURE
Page 6
PIER INSTALLATIONS: Refer to Figures 4A & 4B. Rough opening dimensions are 36 1/4" wide x 32 1/2" high (above the height of
the optional hearth). Depth is determined by the thickness of facing materials being used. IMPORTANT! The fireplace depth is 20".

D) VENTING REQUIREMENTS
HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL VENTING CHART
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS: Minimum horizontal run: 15" (18" length of pipe)
(This is directly off the collars on the fireplace running at a 45-degree angle.)
Maximum horizontal run: 20 Ft.
