INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT MESSAGE
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
The FPI Gas Insert must be installed in accordance with these instructions. Carefully read all
the instructions in this manual fi rst. Consult
the building authority having jurisdiction to
determine the need for a permit prior to starting
the installation.
NOTE: Failure to follow the instructions could
cause a malfunction of the heater which could
result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or
property damage. Failure to follow these
instructions may also void your fi re insurance
and/or warranty.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
This appliance requires air for proper combustion.
Always provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air. Follow instructions and
information in CSA B149.1 (in Canada) or the
National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1/NFPA
(in the USA), regarding requirements for
combustion and ventilation air.
GAS PRESSURE
TESTING
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).
SPECIFICATIONS
At pressures over 1/2 psig, the pipe to the unit
must be disconnected.
Gas Input Capacity:
Natural Gas 38,000 Btu/h
Propane 35,500 Btu/h
Min. Input:
Natural Gas 20,000 Btu/h
Propane 19,000 Btu/h
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
fireplace or approved solid fuel burning
factory built fi replace that will allow the insert
to physically fi t into the fi rebox. Refer to the
"Minimum Fireplace Dimensions" section.
If the factory built fi replace* height is too low
for your Insert, you may remove the smoke
baffl e plate and damper from the factory
built fi replace as long as these items are
saved and are reinstalled in the event that
the Insert is removed. NOTE: Any alterations
made to the listed solid fuel burning factory
built fi replace may void the listing of the
fi replace. Cutting any sheet-metal parts of
the fi replace, in which the gas fi replace insert
is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fi replace 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 fi rebox in
a proper workmanship like manner. This
access hole must be plugged with noncombustible insulation after the gas supply
line has been installed.
The fi replace and fi replace chimney must
be clean and in good working order and
constructed of non-combustible materials
and chimney cleanouts must fi t properly.
Refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh, and log grates can be removed
from the fi replace before installing the gas
fi replace insert. Smoke shelves, shields
and baffl es may be removed if attached by
mechanical fasteners. A tight connection
between the gas fi replace insert fl ue collar
and the fi replace chimney must be made.
*Check with your local inspector before
commencing with this installation.
Installer must mechanically attach the supplied
label to the inside of the fi rebox of the fi replace
into which the gas fi replace insert is installed.

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.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with a heat
sensor thermodisc which will prevent the
blower from operating until the unit reaches
the correct temperature.
Alternate Approved Caps

5) Install fl ashing.
6) Insert both liners into chimney, passing
through the damper opening.
7) Install termination cap.
8) Connect the marked end of the liner to the
exhaust collar of the vent connector plate
marked with an "E", seal connection with
high temperature silicone. Secure with gear
clamp.
9) Connect the 2nd liner to the intake collar, seal
connection with high temperature silicone.
Secure with gear clamp.
10) Align vent connector plate with guides on
unit.
11) Slide unit into masonry opening, while
ensuring that the slot at the rear of the
connector plate mates up with the hold down

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 fl exible liner as straight
as possible, avoid unnecessary bending.

GAS PIPE
PRESSURE TESTING
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: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
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.

AERATION SYSTEM
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a yellower
fl ame. The burner aeration is factory set but
may need adjusting due to either the local gas
supply or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
5/16" Natural Gas
