NOTE: Floor Finishing Material must not be any higher than the base of the ﬁreplace.

2)Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening is 36-1/4" high x 36-1/4" wide x 12-3/4" deep

(921mm high x 921mm wide x 324mm deep).

Note: Header must be installed vertically. If Header is installed horizontally, it must be steel.

1)Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the ﬁnished surface to be ﬂush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

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 ﬁreplace itself.)

4)The top of the unit must not be closer than

32" (813mm) to the ceiling.

Note: 40-1/2" (1029mm) is the minimum height for both ﬂex termination or rigid pipe venting.

Note: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit is 0" to thestandoffssocombustiblebuilding 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 ﬂex (1-1/4" for Rigid Pipe).

5)Use steel studs for framing where the 1-

1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to combustible material cannot be maintained, e.g. front top header.

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 ﬂat position and must be folded into shape and attached.

1)Remove the standoffs from the ﬁreplace 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 ﬁreplace 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 ﬁnished surface to be ﬂush 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.

INSTALLATION

"C" Screw Position:

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

Screw	Facing Material
Position	Depth

A1/2" / 13mm

B7/8" / 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.

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

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P36-1 uses the "balanced ﬂue" 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.
