UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The T op 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) T ake 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 &

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 can be mounted in 3 different positions depending on the thickness of the facing material.

Screw

Position 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 prepunched screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use hole positions A, B, or C depending on your facing depth.

Facing Material

Depth

"C" Screw Position:

For a facing material depth of 1-1/4" (32mm), the top facing support must be reversed.

2) Fold out the two nailing strips on each side.

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P36-1 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.

Note: These flue pipes must not be

connected 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.

The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are: 1 Horizontal Termination Cap

1 90o Elbow 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor 1 Wall Thimble 1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness (see chart)

Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of termination cap. 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. Measure the wall thickness including furring strips.

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.

INSTALLATION

DURA-VENT HORIZONTAL

TERMINATIONS

Install the vent system according to the manufacturer's instructions included with the components.

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check

to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. 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.

2) Direct Vent pipe and ﬁ ttings are designed with special twist-lock connections to connect the venting system to the appliance ﬂ ue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available option that must be used in conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent system.

3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section of the adapter and a bead of Stove Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing inner and outer ﬂ ue collar and fasten to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier). Level the ﬁ replace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the nailing strips.

4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor and twist-lock for a solid connection.

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be

supported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose.

5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for ﬂ ex) hole is acceptable.

Note: With DuraVent, the minimum height is achieved by installing a 90 elbow directly to the ﬂ ue adaptor.

Diagram 2

Note:

a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,

or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run towards the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a ﬁ re.

Note: Riser Vent is only for use in above grade terminations.

Diagram 3a

*Diagrams 3 & 4: As speciﬁ ed in CGA B149 Installation Code. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

If the Snorkel Termination must be installed below grade, i.e. basement application, proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer to Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose the Snorkel within the wall, or any other type of enclosure.

6) The arrow on the vent cap should

Note: a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indenta-

tions, located on the female ends of pipes and ﬁ ttings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and ﬁ ttings, by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide in to the four entry slots on the male ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside, on the Black Pipe or ﬁ ttings. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Diagram 1

NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV) is optional.

b) The location of the horizontal vent

termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. For External Vent Terminal Locations, see the "Exterior Vent T ermination Locations" section.

c) Snorkel Terminations: For installations requir-

ing a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations are available, as well as the standard Riser Vent. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard Horizontal Termination. NEVER install

the snorkel upside down.

clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 4). Install the termination cap.

The four wood screws provided should

be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

Note: If installing termination on a siding

Diagram 5

covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.

7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent

pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble over the vent pipe.

8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap sufﬁ cient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. See Diagram 6.

9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10" square and attach with wood screws

(Diagram 7).

DURA-VENT VERTICAL

TERMINATIONS

1) Maintain the 1-1/4" clearances (air spaces)

to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2) Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance ﬂ ue exit, and mark the location

where the vent will

penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at his point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct

the venting system. You may wish to

relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown in Diagram 2 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the

Diagram 2

elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist-locked position and sealed.

5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufﬁ cient size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the ﬂ ashing under the shingles (shingles should overlap half the ﬂ ashing) as per Diagram 4.

6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Diagram 4: The upper half of the ﬂ ashing is

installed under the rooﬁ ng material and not

nailed down until the chimney is installed.

This allows for small adjustments.

Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic

to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose (Diagram 2).

Galvanized pipe is desirable above the

rooﬂ ine due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue to add pipe sections through the ﬂ ashing until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum height requirements speciﬁ ed in Diagram 5 or local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vertical height must be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting

7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the ﬂ ashing to the roof with rooﬁ ng rails, slide storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic.

8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which

the vent passes through must be enclosed.

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURES

Note: To make the installation more aesthetically pleasing, we recommend framing out a square to mount the terminal to.

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

framing 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 13/8"(35mm) and fasten with the 3 screws.

NOTE:

Horizontal sections must be

supported at intervals not exceeding 3 feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and performance will be affected by sags in the liner).

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 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. (You may wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more workable.) Do not bend liner more than

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.

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.

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).

Note: A 2" clearance at the top and 1 1/2"

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.

HIGH ELEVATION

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to 4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M91) with the oriﬁ ce supplied.

GAS LINE

INSTALLATION

The gas line is brought through the right of the appliance. The gas valve is situated on the right hand side of the unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand side of the valve.

The gas line connection may be made of rigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved ﬂ ex connector . (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve can be removed for servicing.) Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.

For USA installations follow local codes and/ or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

When using copper or ﬂ ex connectors use only approved ﬁ ttings. Always provide a union so that gas lines can be easily disconnected for servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and ﬂ ex connectors are usually considered to meet this requirement.

FPI P36-4 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Important: Always check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution or gas leak detector. Do not use open ﬂ ame for leak testing.

Page 34

INSTALLATION

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

Periodically check the pilot ﬂ ames. Correct ﬂ ame pattern has three strong blue ﬂ ames: 1 ﬂ owing around the thermopile, 1 around the thermocouple and 1 ﬂ owing across the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).

Note: If you have an incorrect ﬂ ame pattern,

contact your FPI dealer for further instructions.

Incorrect ﬂ ame pattern will have small, probably yellow ﬂ ames, not coming into proper contact with the rear burner or thermopile or thermocouple.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT

To ignite or reignite the pilot,

you must ﬁ rst release the ten-

sion springs below the door.

NOTE: For all propane units and units

equipped with electric spark boxes, see "Copy of Lighting Plate Instructions" section for more details.

Only when the pilot holds, without pressure being applied to the control knob, reapply the tension springs to the door. The unit must not be operated with the tension springs unattached.

IMPORTANT Gas on/off knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.

1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.

2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points

to "OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber to escape.

3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so indicator points to the "PILOT" position. Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress the igniter button several times until the pilot lights. After approximately one minute, release the gas control knob. The pilot ﬂ ame should continue to burn. If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasing gas control knob.

4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further counterclockwise to the "ON" position.

5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote control to turn on the unit.

6) Rotate the ﬂ ame height regulator to adjust the ﬂ ame height higher or lower.

SHUTDOWN

PROCEDURE

1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote

control to turn off the main burner.

2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the "OFF" position to turn off the pilot.

3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if service is to be performed.

FIRST FIRE

The ﬁ rst ﬁ re in your ﬁ replace is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your ﬁ replace for at least four (4) hours the ﬁ rst time you use it with the fan on. When ﬁ rst operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of hours.

The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has cooled down.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance

is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.

During the ﬁ rst few ﬁ res, a white ﬁ lm may develop on the glass front as part of the curing process. The glass should be cleaned or the ﬁ lm will bake on and become very difﬁ cult to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean the glass while it is hot.

AERATION

ADJUSTMENT

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: 3/16" Natural Gas 1/2" Propane

CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter is closed too much.

Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting

from improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT covered under warranty.

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be

performed by an authorized FPI Installer at the time of installation or service.

Adjustment wire: Push to close or

pull to open aeration cap.

Closed - Tall yellow

Open - Short Blue

NORMAL OPERATING

SOUNDS OF GAS

APPLIANCES

It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to the fact that there are various gauges and types of steel used within your appliance. Listed below are some examples. All are normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance.

Blower:

FPI gas appliances use high tech blowers to push heated air farther into the room. It is not unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound when ON. This sound will increase or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan speed control.

Burner Tray:

The burner tray is positioned directly under the burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different gauge material from the rest of the ﬁ rebox and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at slightly different rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking" sounds. Y ou should also be aware that as there are temperature changes within the unit these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal for steel ﬁ reboxes.

Blower Thermodisc:

When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the switch contacts closing and is normal.

Pilot Flame: While the pilot ﬂ ame is on it can make a very slight "whisper" sound.

Gas Control Valve: As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal operation of a gas regulator or valve.

Unit Body/Firebox: Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard throughout the cycling process.

COPY OF THE LIGHTING PLATE INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Always turn off the gas valve before cleaning.

For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.

2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth (never when unit is hot). Never use an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be cleaned with a gas ﬁ replace glass cleaner.

The glass should be cleaned when it starts looking cloudy.

3) The heater is ﬁ nished in a heat resistant paint and should only be reﬁ nished with heat resistant paint. FPI uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the ﬂ ame of the burner periodically, making sure the ﬂ ames are steady; not lifting or ﬂ oating. If there is a problem, call a qualiﬁ ed service person.

OFF

5) The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualiﬁ ed ﬁ eld service person, to ensure that the ﬂ ow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.

Note: Never operate the appliance without

the glass properly secured in place.

6) Do not use this appliance if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace nay part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

7) Verify operation after servicing.

GENERAL VENT

MAINTENANCE

Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:

1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These components should be replaced immediately.

FPI P36-4 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

2) Remove the Cap, and shine a ﬂ ashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or

other foreign material.

4949

Page 50

MAINTENANCE

3) Check for evidences of excessive

condensation, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and ﬁ ttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or ﬁ ttings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.

LOG REPLACEMENT

The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door and carefully remove the logs. (The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone.) If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The position of these logs must be as shown in the diagrams under Log Installation.

Note: Improper positioning of logs may

create carbon build-up and will severely alter the unit's performance which is not covered under warranty.

GLASS GASKET

If the glass gasket requires replacement use 5/8" ﬂ at glass gasket for the Bay Front (Part # 936-243) and a tadpole glass gasket for the Flush Front (Part # 936-155).

DOOR GLASS

Your FPI ﬁ replace is supplied with high tem- perature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat that your unit will produce. If your glass requires cleaning, we recommend using an approved glass cleaner available at all authorized dealers. Do not use abrasive materials. Do not clean the glass when hot.

In the event that you break your glass by impact, purchase your replacement from an authorized FPI dealer only, and follow our step-by-step instructions for replacement.

WARNING: Do not operate the appliance with the glass panels removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass panels should be done by a licensed or qualiﬁ ed service person.
