The Village Collection fireplace models discussed in this Installers Guide have been tested to certification standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODELS: QV32-A, QV36-A
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Vented Gas Fireplace Heater
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88•CSA2.33•UL307B
NOTE: THESE MODELS ARE UL LISTED TO UL307B, THE STANDARD FOR GAS-BURNING HEATING APPLIANCES FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES AND RECRE-
ATIONAL VEHICLES.
Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United States), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A. and Canada.
High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to 4,500 feet in Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for your location.

Getting Started
Introducing the Village Collection
Gas Fireplaces
The Village Collection direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions, are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide. Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped in separate packages. The gas logs are packaged separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit. Failure to follow these instructions will void the owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Aladdin Hearth Products Warranty will be voided by, and Aladdin Hearth Products disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
•Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system component.
•Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
•Installation other than as instructed by Aladdin Hearth Products.
•Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
•Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured and approved by Aladdin Hearth Products, not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other party approval of such component part or accessory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine:
•Where the unit is to be installed.
•The vent system configuration to be used.
•Gas supply piping.
•Electrical wiring.
•Framing and finishing details.
•Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on any combustible material other than wood flooring, the fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Installing the Fireplace
Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be, installed inside a chase.
CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MAY VARY WITH THE TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.
Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner.
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Aladdin Hearth Products recommends that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the firestops should be caulked to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being installed on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for woodburning units if they are required.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THATALL CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.
Step 1. Locating the Fireplace
The following diagram shows space and clearance requirements for locating a fireplace within a room.
Clearance Requirements
The top and back of the fireplace are defined by stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall extending past the face of the fireplace is 3 inches (76mm). The back of the fireplace may be recessed 16 1/4 inches (413mm) into combustible construction.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
These models have vent starting collars on both the top and the back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain on the starting collar NOT used.
These models use SL-D-series, direct vent components when using the TOP vent collars and D-series direct vent components when using the REAR vent collars.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
! WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX D-SERIES 
AND SL D-SERIES COMPONENTS IN ANY VENT
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.
Identifying Vent Components
Approved vent system components are labeled for identification. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this Installers Guide. Figure 7 shows vent system components and terminations.
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may include one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The relationships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configurations using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow. Maximum and minimum rise to run ratios must always be maintained in the vent system when using 45° elbows.
