The warranty will be voided by, and the manufacturer disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:
n Modification of the fireplace and/or components including
n Use of any component part not manufactured or approved by the
n Installation other than as instructed in this manual.
Consult your local Gas Inspection Branch on installation requirements for
factory-built gas fireplaces. Installation & repairs should be done by a
qualified contractor.
Installations in Canada must conform to the current CAN/CGA B-
149.1 and .2 Gas Installation Code and local regulations. When the unit
employs the optional Blower Kit, it must be electrically grounded in
accordance with CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or
Local Codes.
Installations in the USA must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1-1988. When the unit employs the optional Blower Kit it
must be grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.

CAUTIONS
Due to its high operating temperatures, the appliance
should be located out of traffic & away from furniture and
draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of the high surface temperature, which could cause
burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance.
• Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
placed on or near the appliance.

Installing The Fireplace Shell
The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air
conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as
efficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting the fireplace
location. Try to select a location that does not interfere with room traffic,
has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible pathway for B-Vent &
Combustion Air Kit installation.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:

Framing
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will
reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.

Installation
Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before finishing the fireplace. Natural Gas
requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 5.5" W.C. & a manifold
pressure of 3.5" W.C. Propane Gas requires a minimum inlet gas
supply pressure of 11" W.C. & a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
Provision must also be made for a 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping and be
accessible for test gauge connection immediately upstream of the gas
supply controls to the appliance. The fireplace gas connection and the
main operating gas valve is located behind the removable trim at the
bottom of the unit and need only be attached to the gas line with an
approved fitting, as required by the applicable installation codes.

Figure 4. Gas line access.
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).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual 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).

Installing The Remote Switch
The EP28 Series' gas valve, located behind the lower trim, may be
connected to a wall switch. The valve generates its own power. This is a
millivolt circuit. Use only low voltage wire, and DO NOT connect any
external power to it.
Refer to Figure 24a, 24b, and 24c for wiring requirements.
Note: The switch location must not exceed 30' from the fireplace.
B-Vent Installation
The EP-28 Modular Series is certified for use with standard 5" B-Vent
and requires no B-Vent appliance connector. Simply attach the B-Vent to
the fireplace flue collar, and secure it to the L-shaped brackets on each
side of the opening using 1/4" sheet metal screws. Do not penetrate the
inner sleave of the B-Vent when tightening the screws.
Refer to the current CAN/CGA B-149.1 and .2 or ANSI Z223.1-1988
Gas Installation Code for specific vent sizing.
CAUTION:
Test your B-Vent installation after completion to ensure that no
combustible by-products are spilling from the fireplace opening.
This draft test should be performed after a fifteen (15) minute warm
up period. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any
installations with inadequate draw.
Notes:
n After gas line is connected each appliance connection, valve
and valve train must be checked while under normal operating
pressure with either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to
locate any source of leak. Tighten any areas where bubbling
appears or leak is detected until bubbling stops completely or
leak is no longer detected. Do NOT use a flame of any kind to
test for leaks.

Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the top
and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not project beyond
shaded area shown in Figure 5. Side wall clearances are 0". Combusti-
ble surrounds may be installed with 0" clearance to the side of the
fireplace as shown in Figure 6.
Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following: TRIMS MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN
ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air supply for the control
compartments and heat exchanger it also prevents access for
servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with the
access to retainers for removal of glass door.
Combustible con struction
allowed in shaded area.
Combustible Fac ing
Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE: Mantel clearances shown are for fire hazard prevention.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of
fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal
room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for
example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and radio components.
Painting:
Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Decorators

Association, when painting the fireplace surrounds, to select and apply a
quality Alkyd sealer prior to the applying of latex paints. This is to
prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a brownish
staining effect to paint over coats.
