COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fi replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown
in the diagram below.
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.
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches). 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
FRAMING AND FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing mate-
rial (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow
the fi nished surface to be fl ush with the front
of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary
from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See page 10 for assembly details.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material.
Vertical Termination or
Vertical Rise with Horizontal
Termination
Rear Termination
NOTE: If this is an outside corner, the minimum
distance between the vent and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination
cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap.
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent
to combustible material cannot be maintained.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clear-
ance and framing requirements, check the
HeatWave manual for details.
NOTE: If this is an outside corner, the minimum
distance between the vent and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination
cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap.
3) 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.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other suit-
able combustible fi nishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be com-
pletely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible building
materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the
vent to combustible materials for fl ex
(1-1/4" for Simpson Dura-Vent).

hole in the standoff and the pre-punched screw
holes on the top line up. Use three more screws
per standoff to attach securely to the top.
Top Facing Support & Side Nail-
ing Strips
"C" Screw Position:
For a facing material
depth of 1-1/4"(32mm),
the top facing support
must be reversed.
2) Use the same screw hole position for the
Side Nailing Strips as was used for the Top
Facing Support. Attach each side nailing
strip using 3 screws.

The G33R-1 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.
There are 2 vent systems approved for use with
the G33R-1: the UltraGlow Direct Vent System
(Flex) for Horizontal Terminations only (see
pages 8 and 10), and the Simpson Dura-Vent
Systems for Horizontal and Vertical Terminations
(see pages 11-20).
Note: These fl ue pipes must not be con-
nected 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.

with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer
6-7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over
the fl ue collars of the fi replace.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES
for UltraGlow Direct Vent
System (Flex)
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas (preferably on the right side of the unit)
and the electrical (Junction block is on the
left side) on the left. Locate the centerline of
the termination and mark wall accordingly.
Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance
between the vent and the outside corner is 6"
(15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12"
(30cm) with Dura-Vent termination cap. See
"F" on the diagram on page 8.
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around
the liner must be maintained except
that only a 1" (25mm) clearance is
needed at the termination end. We
recommend framing a 10"(254mm) x
10"(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
is not recessed into the siding.
2) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the fram-
ing using nails or screws through the nailing
strips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature
silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) fl ex pipe and
slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar of the vent
terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten
with the 3 screws.
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are
on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble
half to the inside wall. The thimble halves
slip inside each other and can be adjusted
for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners must slip
over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8".
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way
is up). This will position the termination cap
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edge
of the terminal at the wall in order to keep
the water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination hood
where excessive snow or ice buildup may
occur. Be sure to check vent termination
area after snow falls, and clear to prevent
accidental blockage of venting system. When
using snow blowers, make sure snow is not
directed towards vent termination area.
RIGID PIPE VENTING
SYSTEMS
Horizontal or Vertical
Terminations
The Rigid Pipe Vent System offers a complete line of component parts for installation
of both horizontal and vertical installations.
Many items are offered in decorative black,
as well as galvanized fi nish. We recommend
using the galvanized fi nish for installation
with the G33R-1.
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 AstroCap Horizontal Termination Cap
1 90o Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)
Minimum and Maximum Vent Clearances
Note: To make the installation more
aesthetically pleasing,
we recommend framing
out a square to mount
the terminal to.
UltraGlow G33R-1 Zero Clearance Rear Vent Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
For siding other than vinyl furring strips may
be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff,
to create a level surface to mount the vent
terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed
into siding.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be
used with vinyl siding), measure to outside surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.
