Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No
additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, re ofcials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system conguration to be used.
• Gas supply piping requirements.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan or
remote control—are desired.
C. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• The vent system components and optional accessories
may be shipped in separate packages.
• If packaged separately, the log set must be installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully
during the installation to ensure maximum safety
and benet.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Damaged parts
could impair safe operation. DO NOT install damaged,
incomplete or substitute components. Keep appliance
dry.
B. Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following
tools and building supplies are available.
Tape measure Framing material
Pliers Hammer
Phillips screwdriver Manometer
Gloves Framing square
Voltmeter Electric drill and bits (1/4 in.)
Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Reciprocating saw
Flat blade screwdriver
Non-corrosive leak check solution
1/2 - 3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 Self-drilling screws
Caulking material (300 ºF minimum continuous exposure
rating)
One 1/4 in. female connection (for optional fan).
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for,
and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:
• Installation and use of any damaged appliance or vent system
component.

• Vent system termination is NOT permitted in screened porches.
• Vent system termination is permitted in porch areas with two or
more sides open.
• Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the
improper performance of the appliance when the venting system
does not meet these requirements.
• Vinyl protection kits are suggested for use with vinyl siding.
M = 18 inches .................... clearance under veranda, porch, deck,

C. Approved Pipe
This appliance is approved for use with Hearth & Home
Technologies SLP, Simpson Duravent and ICC venting
systems. Refer to Section 11.A for vent component
information and dimensions.
DO NOT mix pipe, ttings or joining methods from different
manufacturers.
The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall. There
is no requirement for inspection openings at each joint
within the wall.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation. This appliance
requires a separate vent. DO NOT vent to a pipe serving a
separate solid fuel burning appliance.
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING
COMPONENTS.
This product is approved to be vented either horizontally,
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may
vent through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved
adapter is used.
This appliance is a direct vent heater. All combustion air must
come directly from the outside of the building. The vent pipe
for this unit consists of an inner and an outer pipe. The inner
pipe carries the appliance exhaust out of the system, and
the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air into the appliance.
• A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is required
when the venting passes through a combustible wall.
• A support box or ceiling restop is required when the
venting passes through a ceiling.
• Roof ashing and a storm collar are required when venting
passes through the roof.
• Follow instructions provided with the venting for installation
of these items.

D. Use of Elbows
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects
when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical
aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. See Figure 4.4.
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow. On
45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216 mm)
horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical run. A length
of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows. See
Figure 4.4.
Figure 4.5 shows the vertical and horizontal offsets for SLP
elbows.

E. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams were made using the following standards:
• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length of
pipe. See Figure 11.1 for SLP for information on effective
length of pipe components.
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (ange of termination cap) (see Figure
4.3).
• Vertical terminations are measured to bottom of
termination cap.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with 1/4 inch rise per foot.

G. Vent Diagrams
General Rules:
• SUBTRACT 3 ft. from the total H measurement for each
90º elbow installed horizontally.
• SUBTRACT 1 ft. from the total H measurement for each
45º elbow installed horizontally.
• A maximum of three 90º elbows (or six 45º elbows) may
be used in any vent conguration. Some elbows may be
installed horizontally. See specic vent diagrams.
• When penetrating a combustible wall, a wall shield restop
must be installed.
• When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling restop
must be installed.
