ORIFICE SIZE/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M), the orifice
should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper
ratio of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing my result in damage and
unsafe conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a quali­fied service technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for
proper orifice sizes.

SMOKE DETECTORS

Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If
your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.

Specifications

Fireplace weight: 200 lbs
Pipe:Type - direct-vent
Recommended manufacturer*
Secure Vent by Security Chimneys*
Diameter - 6-5/8”x 4” for all installations

This fireplace can be vented using Secure Vent™ direct-vent pipe by
Security Chimneys™*. Coaxial pipe diameters are 6-5/8” outer and 4”
inner. The combustion air for this fireplace is drawn from outside the
house through the outer DV (direct-vent) pipe. Room air is not required
for combustion.

When planning your installation, select the correct length of vent pipe
for your particular requirements. Determine the minimum clearance to
combustibles from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also important to
note the thickness of the wall. Before cutting the vent hole through the
wall make sure that ALL vent and termination clearances (see Pages 20
and 23) will be met.

Electrical

The standard blower motor requires 120 Volts AC for operation. The
fireplace is not dependent on the blower or an outside electrical supply
to operate.

Millivolt Valve

This fireplace is operated with a millivolt valve and therefore burns even
during a power outage.

Preparing Your Ravelle™ 30 Fireplace For Installation

Read all instructions before beginning your installation. If instructions
have not been read carefully, your installation could void your warranty
and may create a serious fire, health, or other safety hazard.

The Lennox Hearth Products warranty will be voided if one of the fol­lowing occurs:

• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system compo­nent.

• Unauthorized modification of the direct-vent system.

• Installation other than as instructed by Lennox Hearth Products,
Security Chimneys™, or Dura-Vent®.

• Installation of any fireplace or vent system component not
manufactured or approved by Lennox Hearth Products, Security
Chimneys or Dura-Vent.

When planning the installation for your Ravelle 30 gas fireplace, it’s
necessary to consider the following:

• Where the unit is to be installed

• The vent system configuration to be used

• Gas supply (NG or LP)

• Electrical wiring

• Framing and finishing

• Optional accessories

When an 18” (457mm) or longer section of pipe is installed vertically,
directly off the top of the unit, then any horizontal run of pipe must
maintain clearances to combustibles of 2” (51mm) on the top and 1”
(25mm) on the sides and bottom. When less than 18” (457mm) of pipe
is installed vertically, directly off the top of the unit, then any horizontal
run of pipe must maintain clearances to combustibles of 6” (152mm)
on the top and 1” (25mm) on the sides and bottom. See Page 22 for
allowable pipe configurations.

Clearances to Combustibles

Minimum clearances include any projections such as shelves, window
sills, mantels, spacers/standoffs or surfaces to combustible construction
etc. above the appliance. Paint or lacquer used to finish the mantel
must be heat resistant in order to avoid discoloration.

Minimum clearances to combustible materials in inches:

Front corners to enclosure (from standoffs) - 0 (0mm)
Rear corners to enclosure (from standoffs) - 0 (0mm)
Top to header (from standoffs) - 0 (0mm)
Bottom of unit to floor - 0 (0mm)
Edge of door glass to side wall and side trim - 6-1/4” (159mm)
Back to enclosure (from standoffs) - 0 (0mm)

Mantel: The drawing at the lower right shows the minimum distances
from the base of the fireplace to combustible mantel and facing mate­rial. Combustible materials may be placed above and withing the shaded
areas. If your fireplace has an arched face, the combustible mantel fac­ing material may curve with the arch of the face as long as a minimum
distance of 10” (254mm) is maintained between the top of the face and
the combustible facing material.

Hearth Protection: If the vertical distance from the base of a Ravelle
30 gas fireplace to a combustible surface is less than 1”, then a hearth
protection is required in front of the unit. The required hearth protec­tion must extend 10” (254mm) out from the front of the unit with a
width of 41” (1041mm) and include a minimum of 1/2” (13mm) thick
non-combustible material. If the vertical distance from the base of the
unit to the combustible surfaces is 1”(25mm) or greater, then no hearth
protection is required.

Pipe Clearances: On all vertical runs of pipe, a 1” (25mm) clearance
between the direct-vent pipe and combustibles must be maintained.

Framing Dimensions

The dimensions given on this page are minimum framing distances
necessary to maintain safe clearances between the Ravelle™ 30 gas
fireplace and combustible materials.

uIf the unit is to be vented horizontally with a 90º elbow right off

the top of the fireplace and directly through an exterior wall,
then a hole 9-1/4” x 10-3/4” (235 mm x 273 mm) square with
a center line 34” (864 mm) above the base of the fireplace will
accommodate the wall thimble and direct-vent pipe.

vThe gas line should be routed to the left side of the unit. The

access hole in the fireplace for the gas line is 6-1/4” (159 mm)
back from the front edge and 2-1/8” (54 mm) up from the base
of the unit. If the gas line enters the unit from the right side, the
piping will need to be disconnected to remove the blower.

.25 If a wall-mounted on/off switch or thermostat is to be used, these

wires should be routed to the left front of the unit for access to
the fireplace. The wire should be fed through the gas line hole,
along the gas line, to the valve.

wThe electrical power supply wiring should be routed to the right

rear of the unit.

Note: The fireplace may be placed directly on wood or non-combustible
flooring, but not on vinyl floor covering or carpet.

Framing Suggestions: The framing header above the front of the

fireplace should be as narrow front to back as allowable to give maximum
clearance to the direct-vent pipe (i.e. don’t use a 6” (152 mm) thick header
when a 4” (102 mm) thick one is allowed). A 6” (152 mm) header may
need to be notched to accommodate vertical vent pipe. If the fireplace is
going to be horizontally vented directly out the back, do not place a stud
in line with the wall thimble. If a hearth extension greater then 1” (25mm)
thick is going to be used, the fireplace and the header must be raised
accordingly. See Hearth Extension Considerations for further details.

Insulation: The exterior walls adjacent to the fireplace should be

insulated like the rest of the house, but insulation should not be placed
around the fireplace or vent pipe.

Corner Installations: The dimensions on this page are minimum and

show the stand-offs on the rear corners of the fireplace up against the
corner walls.

Raised Installations

Hearth Extension Considerations

The fireplace may be raised by building a platform of sufficient strength to
support the fireplace and pipe. When building a raised hearth extension,
please see the note below regarding height of the fireplace in relation to
the thickness of the hearth extension material.

It is IMPORTANT to note that there is a 1” space between the base of the
fireplace and the bottom of the fireplace face. See Page 13 for hearth
extension requirements. This space will allow a 7/8” (22 mm) thick hearth
extension (including backer board if desired). Should a hearth extension
thicker than 7/8” (22 mm) be desired, the height of the fireplace must
be raised the thickness of that hearth extension less the 7/8” (22 mm).
For example, if a 2-7/8” (73 mm) thick cultured stone is to be placed
on the floor to serve as the hearth extension, then the fireplace must be
raised 2” (possibly using 1/2” (13 mm) plywood over 2 x 4’s laid flat)
to accommodate the 2-7/8” (73 mm) stone. It is important to note that
if the fireplace is raised, then it is necessary to raise the height of the
header above the stand-offs an equal amount.

Facing Installation Considerations

Non-combustible cement board (such as Wonderboard, Durock, or Har­dybacker) must extend 10” (254 mm) above the 1” (25mm) top reveal
and a minimum of 5” (127 mm) from each side reveal (see drawing
below - right). This cement board may be 1/4” (6.3 mm) thick or greater,
but would normally be the thickness of the drywall - for example 1/2” (13
mm). The cement board may be fastened with drywall screws.

Sheetrock

The screws should be driven through the cement board into the outer
metal skin of the fireplace. The sheetrock (drywall) is then butted up
to the cement board. The sheetrock above the fireplace should also be
fastened to the fireplace by driving screws into the outer metal skin of
the fireplace.

Facing Less Than 1” Thick: If the combined thickness of the facing
material (eg. 3/8” [9.5 mm] thick ceramic tile and 1/2” (13 mm) thick
cement board) is less than 1” (25 mm), then the tile can be placed behind
the fireplace (see below).
