Before You Start
Check your inventory list to be sure you have
all the necessary parts supplied in good usable condition. Check also for any concealed
damage.
LOCATION OF FIREPLACE
Carefully select the proper location for any
obstructions, clearance to side wall(s), air
availability, location and aesthetics. With proper
pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly. See Figure
2 for some examples.
When locating the fireplace, consideration must
be given to combustibles and final finishing.
See Figure 18 and confine the final location
of combustible finish materials to the "Safe
Zone". Also refer to Clearance Specifications
on page 6.
Consider the effects of heat when locating
any object in front of or near the fireplace
opening.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
The fireplace may be installed directly on a
combustible floor or raised on a platform of an
appropriate height. Do not place the fireplace
on vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It may,
however, be placed on flat wood, plywood,
particle board or other hard surfaces.
Position the electrical junction box as detailed
in LOCATION OF FIREPLACE. (The umbilical
cord is 9 feet long).
Be sure the fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing
for support.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the
framing built around it, or the framing may be
constructed and the fireplace positioned into
the opening.
ASSEMBLY STEPS
Note: The following steps represent the normal
sequence of installation. Each installation is
unique, however, and might require a different
sequence.
1. Position firebox prior to framing or into
prepared framing (non-combustible framing
is recommended).
2. Position the electrical junction box as detailed
in LOCATION OF FIREPLACE.
(The umbilical cord is 9 feet long).
3. Waterproof the fireplace or install the optional
drip pan (see Waterproofing The Fireplace and
Figure 3 on page 5 ).
4. Plumb gas line. (Gas connections should only
be performed by an experienced, licensed/certified tradesman.)
5. Complete the installation, finish wall material, surround and hearth extension to your
individual taste.
6. Assemble and attach optional accessories.
Study the three dimensional illustration (Fig-
ure 1 ) to get a general idea of each element
of your fireplace system.
Figure 2
When choosing a location, care must be taken
to avoid places where flooding or running water
may be a problem.
Identify the desired location for the battery
pack/ON/OFF switch junction box location. This
should be easily accessible and convenient for
use and high enough on the wall to be protected
from water and drifted snow.
Do not use these appliances if any part of
the gas supply, control or burner has been
submerged under water. Immediately call a
qualified, professional service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any parts
of the control system and any gas control which
have been under water.
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of adjacent
or nearby stairwells, doors, windows, walkways
and over hanging trees, patios and wires.
Usually, no special floor support is needed for
the fireplace, however, to be certain:
1. Estimate the total weight of the fireplace system including surround materials such as brick,
stone, etc., to be installed. Shipping weights for
the fireplace may be found on page 8.
2. Measure the square footage of the floor space
to be occupied by the system, surrounds and
hearth extensions.
3. Note the decking construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s,
2 x 8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type
and thickness of floor boards.
4. Use this information and consult your local
building code to determine if you need additional support.
If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth
extension, build the platform assembly then
position fireplace and hearth extension on
top. Secure the platform to the floor to prevent
possible shifting.
WATERPROOFING THE FIREPLACE
Although the fireplace is designed to operate
safely outdoors, rain may enter the hearth area,
condensation and can cause water to collect
inside the fireplace bottom.
To prevent water collection, the builder must
provide a means to drain water from under
the fireplace by building or installing a water
collector of the builders choice, before positioning the fireplace in its location.
Special care must be taken when the fireplace is
installed against an exterior wall. The enclosure
surrounding the fireplace on the sides and back
must be treated as an exterior wall.
Lennox does provide an optional drain pan to
assist weatherproofing the fireplace.

place, the framing height must be increased
from 46-1/2 inches to 47-1/4 inches, when
installing the drain pan. An additional space
below the fireplace will also be required to
plumb a drain line.
Step 1. Seal all joints, gaps and corners around
the bottom of the drain pan before positioning
the fireplace on its location (Figure 3 ).
Step 2. On the exposed drain hole, install a PVC
threaded coupling reducer, 3/4" x 1/2" going
from the top of the pan down through the hole.
Apply a silicone-based sealant around the base
and threads before installation.
Step 3. Holding the reducer coupling with a
wrench, thread a 3/4", 90 degree, PVC elbow to
the reducer until it is tight to the metal.
Step 4. Add additional piping to route the drain
to an appropriate location.
Note: To assure proper drainage, the fireplace
must be installed on a leveled surface.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearance to combustibles for the
fireplace is as follows; sides and back – 1/2"
(13mm), combustible floor – 0" (0mm), adjacent wall 6" (152mm), ceiling – 50" (1270mm).
Refer to Figure 4 on this page and Figure 18
on page 13 for more detail.
Note: Clearance behind the nailing flange for
both fireplace models is 1/2" (13mm).
Note: Adjacent wall considerations are for an
adjacent wall to only a single side. Walls should
not be placed at the minimum distance on both
sides of the fireplace. Allow at least 4 feet on
one side of the fireplace.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Step 1. Frame these appliances as illustrated in
Figures 7 through 9. All framing details must
allow for a minimum clearance to combustible
framing members, as shown in Figure 4 on
page 5. Also refer to Fireplace Specifications
on Page 8. Headers may be in direct contact
with the appliance top spacers but must not be
supported by them or notched to fit around them.
All construction above the appliance must be
self supporting. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE
FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.
Note: The framed depth from a framed wall,
must always be measured from a finished
surface. If a wall covering such as durrock is
to be attached to the rear wall, then the depth
must be measured from the wall surface. It is
important that this dimension be exact.
Note: Non-combustible framing members are
not required, but are recommended.
Step 2. Level the firebox by checking the top
edge of the firebox. Shim if necessary.
Step 3. The fireplace should be secured to the
side framing members, using the full length nailing flange located on both sides of the fireplace.
Use 8d nails, or screws.
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL THE FIREBOX TOP SPACERS BE REMOVED OR MODIFIED. THE HEADER MAY BE
IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE TOP SPACERS
BUT MUST NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THEM OR
NOTCHED TO FIT AROUND THEM.
Step 4. Identify the desired location for the
battery pack/ON/OFF switch junction box.
This should be easily accessible and connivent
for use. Avoid installing where the opening
could be blocked by snow, bushes, etc. Also,
considerations need to be made to avoid water
infiltration. The electrical junction box must be
positioned within range of the electrical umbilical cord (9 feet). Route the umbilical cord to
the box to ensure proper length. Secure the
umbilical cord per appropriate local and national
electrical codes.
ROUTING GAS LINE
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside
of the right side framing as shown in Figure
5. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance
with local codes and regulations.
All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2 inch shutoff
valve. (See Figure 12 on page 11).

locality. Installation must be in compliance
with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas flex
line for use (where permitted) in connecting the
unit to the gas line. A gas flex line is provided
to aid in attaching the direct vent appliance to
the gas supply. The gas flex line can only be
used where local codes permit. See Figure 12
for flex line description. The flex line is rated for
both natural and propane gas. A manual shut off
valve is also provided with the flex line.
The gas control valve is located under the
refractory cover in front of the burner.
To access the valve, lift out the center refractory and remove the access cover (see Figure
13 ).
Figure 12 - GAS CONNECTION
The control valves have a 3/8" (10 mm) NPT
thread inlet port.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications).
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test solution (also referred to as
bubble leak solution). Note: Using a soapy
water solution (50% dish soap, 50% water)
is an effective leak test solution but it is not
recommended, because the soap residue that
is left on the pies/fittings can result in corrosion over time. Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Homeowner's Care and Operation
Instructions).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Either
tighten or refasten the leaking connection and
retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE FIREPLACE FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD
OF TIME WITHOUT THE LAVA ROCK IN
PLACE. THE PAN CAN OVER HEAT AND
MAY WARP AND THE FIREPLACE MAY
SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY.
INSTALLING THE LOGS
After verifying that the fireplace operates
properly, replace the cover and set the bottom
refractory components in place.
Use two (2) bags of lava rock to fill the bottom
of the burner tray to completely cover the burner
tube. Level the rock evenly.
Rear Log
Place the rear log approximately centered as
shown in Figure 14.
Place the base log approximately as shown in
Figure 15.
The remaining logs can be placed across the
rear and base log approximately as shown in
Figure 16. The exact position of these logs
is not critical. Due to the nature of an outdoor
environment, the flame will never be strictly
controlled. You may need to reposition the logs
to get the effect you find most desirable.
A more detailed description is provided in the
Homeowners Care and Operations manual.
CAUTION: LOGS GET HOT WHILE THE FIREPLACE IS IN OPERATION. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO ADJUST OR MOVE THE LOGS WHILE THE
FIREPLACE IS HOT.

With gas line installed run initial system checkout before installing any additional accessories. Follow the lighting instructions provided
in the Care and Operation Instructions.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu
with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately.
Turn off the gas supply to the appliance and have it serviced by a qualified professional, as
it may not be operating correctly.
FIREBOX FINISHES
Note: Lighting Instructions are also found on
the literature tag tied to the gas piping next
to the gas valve. To access the tag, open the
lower control compartment door (refer to
Figure 13 - Valve Access ).
When first lighting the appliance, it will take
a few minutes for the line to purge itself of
air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and
burner will light and operate as indicated in
the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting
of the appliance will not require such purging.
Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).
After the logs have been placed and the
fireplace has been checked for proper flame
presentation, use the remaining rock to fill in
voids and spaces. Remember, you may need
to access the high/low flame control beneath
the refractory cover.
Electronic Appliance Checkout
To light the burner, turn ‘ON’ the remote wall
switch. The battery will energize a spark that
will light the pilot. The pilot flame will engulf
the sensor and open the main valve. Within
seconds the main burner will light. Ensure the
ignitor lights the pilot. The pilot flame should
engulf the sensor as shown in Figure 17.
There are a wide variety of "finished looks" for your outdoor fireplace, from formal wall decor with
elaborate mantels to rustic wood paneling or warm brick facings.
Only noncombustible materials like marble, stone, tile, brick, etc. may overlap the top and sides of
the front facing. Seal all joints between the black facing and wall surrounds to prevent air intrusion.
Use noncombustible caulking materials only to seal the metal facing to the surround material on
the finished wall. See Figure 18.
CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK THE FACE OPENING ON THESE FIREBOXES. DOING SO MAY CREATE
A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

Remove and discard the two pressure regulator
mounting screws. Remove the pressure regulator and diaphragm. Discard all removed components. Ensure the rubber gasket installed on
the back of the replacement pressure regulator
is properly positioned. Install the new pressure
regulator using the new screws supplied with the
kit. Tighten screws to 25 In. lb. torque.
Note: Natural gas regulators are identified with a
blue dot. Propane regulators have a red dot.
Step 5. See Figure 21 and replace the pilot
orifice as follows: Remove pilot hood assembly
by grasping the hood and pulling the assembly
straight up. Under the hood is the pilot orifice.
With caution and using a magnetic screwdriver,
undo the pilot orifice and remove it from the
assembly. Carefully replace the orifice with the
one provided with the kit. Press the pilot hood
back over the assembly. The orientation should
be aligned as shown in Figure 21. Exercise
extreme care to prevent damage to or breakage of the ignitor assembly.

not have this countersink. See Figure 21.
Step 6. (Refer to Figure 19 on page 15 )
A. Remove the orifice from the manifold with
a 1/2" deep throat socket. See the following
table for orifice sizes for natural and propane
models. Figure 22 illustrates the orifice.
Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on all
pipe fittings before installing (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane applications, do not use pipe joint compounds
on flare fittings).
B. Retrieve the burner and slide the venturi tube
over the orifice. Secure the burner in place with
the clip shown in Figure 19.
Step 7. Reassemble the remaining components
by reversing the procedures outlined in the
