INSTALLATION INTO A SOLID FUEL BURNING FIREPLACE OR FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE

The E33 Gas Inserts have been tested and approved to be vented into any masonry ﬁ replace or approved solid fuel burning factory built

ﬁreplace that will allow the insert to physically

ﬁt into the ﬁ rebox. Refer to page 6 for minimum

ﬁreplace clearances.

If the factory built ﬁreplace* height is too low for your Insert, you may remove the smoke bafﬂe plate and damper from the factory built ﬁreplace as long as these items are saved and are reinstalled in the event that theInsertisremoved.NOTE:Anyalterations made to the listed solid fuel burning factory built ﬁreplace may void the listing of the ﬁreplace. Cutting any sheet-metal parts of theﬁreplace,inwhichthegasﬁreplaceinsert is to be installed, is prohibited.

If the factory-built ﬁreplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the ﬁrebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-com- bustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.

The ﬁreplace and ﬁreplace chimney must be clean and in good working order and constructed of non-combustible materials and chimneycleanoutsmustﬁtproperly.Refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh, and log grates can be removed from the ﬁreplace before installing the gas ﬁreplace insert. Smoke shelves, shields and bafﬂes may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners. A tight connection between the gas ﬁreplace insert ﬂue collar and the ﬁreplace chimney must be made.

*Check with your local inspector before commencing with this installation.

COMBUSTIBLE MANTEL CLEARANCES

Because of the extreme heat this ﬁreplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.

Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the above diagrams.

Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.

Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale.

Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.

INSTALLATION

GAS CONNECTION

GAS CONNECTION WARNING: Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.

1)If the appliance is to be installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly clean the masonry or factory built ﬁ replace.

2)The appliance is provided with an opening on the left hand side of the control compartment. A 3/8" NPT gas supply pipe must be brought near this inlet hole.

3)Locate the center point where the vent will pass through the chimney above the appliance. Move the appliance into the exact location where it is to be installed. Ensure that the Insert is level.

VENTING

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.

This appliance is designed to be attached to two 3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium ﬂ ex running the full length of the chimney. The ﬂ ue length must be a minimum length of 8 ' (2.44m) and a maximum of 35' (10.7m). See chart above for minimum distances from roof. Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted.

Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the ﬂ exible liner will accommodate. However, keep the ﬂexible liner as straight as possible, avoid unnecessary bending.

PRESSURE TESTING 9)		Alternative TC Connection Point

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures over 1/2 psig.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point.

NOTE:Toproperlycheckgaspressure,both inlet and manifold pressures should becheckedusingthevalvepressure ports on the valve.

1)Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.

2)Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide ﬂ at screwdriver.

3)Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4)Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON" position.

5)The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits speciﬁ ed on the safety label.

6)When ﬁ nished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" ﬂ at screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug, but do not over tighten.
