CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum
distances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fi res is
failure to maintain required clearances (air
space) to combustible materials. It is of the
greatest importance that this fi replace and
vent system be installed only in accordance
with these instructions.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0" (0mm)
NOTE: The minimum fl oor clearance must
be maintained from the top surface of the
carpeting, tile, etc.

the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
thick.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening is
37-1/4" high x 36-1/4" wide x 17-3/8" deep
(946mm high x 921mm wide x 441mm

WARNING:
Fire hazard is an extreme risk if
these clearances are not adhered to.
It is of greatest importance that this
fi replace and vent system be
installed only in accordance with
these instructions.
UltraGlow G36D Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace7
Install Side Nailing Strips, Top Facing
Support, and Top Standoffs before unit is
slipped into position. See page 9 for assembly details.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clearance and framing
requirements, check the HeatWave manual for details.
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
32" (813mm) to the ceiling.
INSTALLATION
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.
These drawings are 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.

building materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the vent to combustible materials
for fl ex, see Vent Clearances, page 7.

UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is
slipped 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) Take each standoff and bend into the correct
shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the
screw holes in the standoff and the prepunched 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).
Top Facing Support and
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material (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.
The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips can
be mounted in 3 different positions depending
on the thickness of the facing material.
Screw Facing Material
Position Depth
A 1/2" / 13mm
B 7/8" / 22mm
C* 1-1/4" / 32mm
* For "C" screw position the top facing support
is reversed.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use
hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.
"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.
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The G36D 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 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.
