INSTALLATION
FRAMING & FINISHING
1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there is access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
2. For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of the house; apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes.
(Do not insulate the fi replace itself.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside of the exterior wall will result in operational and performance problems
including, but not limited to: excessive condensation on glass doors, poor fl ame package, carbon, blue fl ames etc. These are not product
related issues.
3. The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See "Clearances"
section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the stove base.
4. Tile Finish Option 1: Drywall may be installed onto the unit as shown below to create a surface to apply fi nishing materials such as tile, slate, etc.
Drywall cannot extend beyond the metal surface of the unit.
5. Tile Finish Option 2: If applying a non-combustible fi nishing material (tile,slate,etc) the material can be installed directly onto the metal surface (clean
front) of the unit in the area shown below.

IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:
Before placing unit into fi nal position - it is important to know the total
thickness / height of fi nished hearth (tile, carpet, etc.) The base of the
fi replace, 4 sided faceplate or mantel should be level or higher than the
fi nished hearth height.
Note: All non-combustible facing material should butt up cleanly
to the fl anges around the fi rebox opening.
Rough edges may be visible from an angle.
To maintain a clean fi nished edge - facing material edges
may be fi nished with a J-style trim or metal cornerbead (both
materials available at your local building or hardware store).
IMPORTANT: Materials used must be NON-COMBUSTIBLE.

UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
The T op Nailing Support, the Side Nailing Strips, the 2 Top Standoffs and the Flue Collar must be correctly positioned and attached before the fi replace
is moved into position.
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a fl at position and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fi replace top.
2) T ake each standoff and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-punched screw holes on the fi replace
top line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite
corners).
NAILING STRIPS
1. There are 8 (eight) side nailing strips and one top nailing strip available on the unit. One set of four (4) are for a clean fi nish installation, the other
set are for a tile fi nish installation as they are set back 1/2" (13mm). The top nailing strip is adjustable to 1/2" (13mm).
2. Bend the required four (4) nailing strips to 90º.
3. Attach top nailing strip with one (1) screw (located at the back of the nailing strip). Adjust to required position, flush or back 1/2" and tighten screw.

INSTALLATION
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The B41XTCE uses the "balanced fl ue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing
warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These fl ue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate
solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
VENT RESTRICTOR & BAFFLE INSTALLATION
NOTE: THE VENT RESTRICTOR & BAFFLE MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO OPTIONAL PANEL INSTALLATION.
1) Determine the venting confi guration.
2) Go to venting arrangements section to determine if a vent restrictor
setting is required.
Note: The vent restrictor does not apply to rear vent applications.
3) Remove baffl e plate. See Diagram 3.
4) Align the vent restrictor plate to the required vent restrictor position
as per diagram 1.
NO VENT RESTRICTOR
Factory setting
5) Once the vent restrictor plate is in the required position, secure with
2 - 1/4" x 1/2" screws. Ensure all screws are tight, but do not over
tighten. (See diagram 2).
