used for partitions and ceilings in buildings.
It is fi re proof and earthquake proof.
If fi nishing the wall above the unit with materials

Caution: This non-combustible board can be damaged if dropped or

1) Using drywall screws - secure non combustible material
around unit, framing and top nailing strip every 6 inches.
Important Note: To avoid cracking the board - pre-drill holes prior to
securing to unit/ framing.
2) Wipe any debris/dust from the non combustible
material and drywall.
3) Prior to taping and mudding it is highly recommended
to prime the facing using a quality primer. This will
ensure proper adhesion of both the tape and mud.
The optional board is very porous.
4) Tape the seams using a mesh type tape.
5) Mud seams as normal. We recommend using a
product called Durabond high strength compound - for the fi rst coat
This product can be found at any hardware store.
Mud must be cured as per manufacturer’s recommendations.

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

FRAMING & FINISHING
1) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
IMPORTANT: Header must be metal stud. All other framing may
be of combustible type such as 2x4 / 2x6 framing materials.
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
INSTALLATION
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) The combined total of non-combustible facing materials (ie. hardiboard + tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to and overlap the face of
the unit (top and bottom). The minimum thickness = 1/2"
to a maximum thickness = 1-1/2", as shown in the diagram below.
If material is thicker than 1-1/2" - it will not be possible to
mount the faceplace.
5) When fi nishing around the faceplate, if material such as brick, stone,
etc. extend past the faceplate depth - the minimum opening
dimensions noted below must be adhered to, this is to assure
removal of the faceplate.
6) Determine the total thickness of facing material (eg. hardiboard +
ceramic tile) to ensure the fi nished surface is fl ush with the front
edge of the unit (see diagram below). If necessary, side and top
nailing strips are adjustable, loosen the 1/4" screws and adjust.
Total non-combustible facing allowable: Min. = 1/2"
Max. = 1- 1/2"

IMPORTANT NOTE
Framing depth measurement is noted with
the side nailing strips set as far forward on
the fi rebox as possible. The nailing strips can
be adjusted back up to 1” to allow for varying

VENTING INTRODUCTION
The HZ54 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.

Standoff
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.
