INSTALLATION FOR MODEL 42 (ZC or WS)
Page 6
Your New Buck Vent-Free Gas Fireplace Heater may be installed in Residential or *After­Market Manufactured Mobile Homes. This appliance may be installed in an *After Market Manufactured Mobile Home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.
(Exception: This appliance may not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.)
* (After Market: Completion of sale, not for the purpose of resale from the manufacturer).
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases.
NOTE: See page 13 for “Producing Adequate Ventilation”.
CHOOSING THE LOCATION FOR YOUR FIREPLACE: (ZC or WS)
Figure 1 shows some of the many ways your fireplace may be installed. Consider the traffic pattern in your room and the location of doors and windows. Moving air from ceiling fans, open doors, and hot air grills may cause the flames to soot. If a disturbance is found that affects the flames, it must be eliminated by turning off the ceiling fan, closing the door, or closing the hot air register. A corner location may be best where space is limited.
Your fireplace weighs no more than some of your fine furniture. If the fireplace is located near a load bearing wall, additional supports to the foundation will not be necessary. HEAVY FACINGS, SUCH AS BRICK, STONE, ETC., MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FOUNDATION SUPPORT.
NOTE: If this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
GAS LINES
The gas supply line and electrical supply must be installed before framing in the fireplace by a licensed installer.
DRAFTS
Do not locate the fireplace in high traffic areas or areas exposed to high drafts and winds. Locate the fireplace away from furniture and draperies.

FIREPLACE CLEARANCES (ZC)
Page 8
The fireplace may be placed directly on a combustible floor, against a combustible wall at marked clearances, or on a raised wooden platform. If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised wooden platform, the platform must be a continuous level surface. The fireplace must be secured in place so it cannot shift positions. The nailing flanges on the sides of the firebox make securing it to the framing easy. They were designed to allow the installation of 1/2" wallboard or plywood flush with the face of the fireplace. Only the header (see Figure 2) may rest on the standoffs on top of the firebox. When the firebox is installed over carpeting, vinyl tile, or
INSTALLING THE FIREBOX (ZC)
any combustible material other than wood flooring, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending its full width and depth. Alternatively, the carpeting, vinyl tile, etc. may be removed beneath the fireplace before installing.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OVER OR TOUCH ANY BLACK PAINTED SURFACE. DO NOT BLOCK HEAT CIRCULATING AIR OUTLETS. DOING
SO MAY RESULT IN POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS
.
1. Sidewall Clearances: Clearances from the side of the fireplace opening to any adjacent combustible wall should not be less than 7"right side and 7” left side, facing the frontof the appliance.
2. Ceiling Clearances: The ceiling height should not be less than 42" from the top of the fireplace opening.
This list of specific instructions will help you make certain that every installation operation is performed correctly. Complete the installation steps in the sequence shown.
LOCAL BUILDING CODES SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN ALL CASES AS TO THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE
INSTALLATION OF FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES.
Select the location for the fireplace by taking into consideration the factors previously outlined in the section called “Choosing the Location.” See page 6.
Framing the Firebox
The width of the framed opening must be 45 5/8". The height of the framed opening must be 35 11/16". The entire fireplace can be elevated above the floor to achieve a raised hearth effect. This can be done by adding a small platform to achieve the desired height. NOTE: The wiring for the lower blower must be installed during the framing stage. The nailing flanges on both sides were designed to allow the installation of 1/2" wallboard or plywood flush with the face of the fireplace. When the framing is inside, the outside wall will be insulated. If the framing or chase is outside, thin insulation should be used in the framing on the back, sides, and top. The bottom should be insulated with a hard insulating board. This will prevent cold from going into the chase through the fireplace to the living space.
Install the Firebox
Install the firebox into the framed opening by placing it directly in front of the opening and sliding it into the proper position.
Level the Firebox
Check the level of the firebox on the top edge of the fireplace face. Shim if necessary.
Secure the Firebox
Secure the fireplace to the framing. The nailing flanges on the firebox will make securing the firebox to the frame quick and easy. Use appropriate size nails or screws to secure the firebox.

VENTILATION
This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation
“This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are adequate combustion and ventilation air.”
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m 3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a
3
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
“WARNING: IF THE AREA IN WHICH THE HEATER MAY BE OPERATED IS SMALLER THAN THAT DEFINED AS AN UNCONFINED SPACE OR IF THE BUILDING IS OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, SECTION 5.3 OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.”
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6 x 10
-11
kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or
sealed;
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors, and
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
NOTE: SOME AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE HIGHER REQUIREMENTS
FOR CUBIC FEET PER 1000 BTU/ HOUR INPUT. (EX. CINCINNATI, OHIO CODES REQUIRE 70 CUBIC FEET). CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODE BEFORE INSTALLATION.

HEATER LOCATION
DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE
Use this worksheet to determine if you have confined or unconfined space.
SPACE: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height =_________cu.ft.(volume of space) EXAMPLE: 20 ft.(Length) x 16 ft.(Width) x 8 ft.(ceiling Height)= 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the
space can support.
_________(volume of space)/50 cu. ft. =maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
EXAMPLE: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space /50 cu. Ft .= 51.2 or 51200 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the BTU/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space. Vent-free heater _______________BTU/Hr Gas water heater* _______________BTU/Hr Gas furnace _______________BTU/Hr Vented gas heater _______________BTU/Hr Gas fireplace logs _______________BTU/Hr Other gas appliances* + _______________BTU/Hr Total = _______________BTU/Hr
Example: Gas water heater 40000 BTU/Hr Vent-free heater + 18000 B Total = 58000 BTU/Hr
*Does not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of BTU/Hr used. ____________BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) ____________BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used) Example: 51200 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) 58000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used) The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual BTU/Hr used is more than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
