CLEARANCES
INSTALLATION
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.
Caution Requirements
The top, back and sides of the fi replace are defi ned by
standoffs. The metal ends of the standoff may NOT be
recessed into combustible construction.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0"* (0mm)
* Note: A hearth is required, unless the unit is raised
4" (102mm), see "Hearth Requirements" section for details.
Minimum Clearance from Top of Louver Opening:
Mantel Height min. 12" (305mm) (at 1" mantel depth)
Ceiling 39" (990mm)
Side Wall to Unit:
8" (203mm)
Horizontal Vent Clearances to Combustibles:

INSTALLATION
MANTEL CLEARANCES
Because of the extreme heat this fi replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of louver opening
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.
INSTALLATION
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6
inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded
area 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.

Diagram 1
Diagram 2
Diagram 3
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there
is access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
See diagram 3 for details.
2) 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.)
3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. A non-
combustible header must be used. 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.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.

INSTALLATION
UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing
Strips and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached before unit is slipped
into position.
INSTALLATION
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 top of the
fi replace.
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).
Note: For screw position C with a facing
material depth of 1-1/4" (32mm), the top
facing support must be reversed.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own
separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited.
VENT RESTRICTOR
POSITION
Vent restriction is required for certain venting
installations, see the diagrams in the "Venting
Arrangements" section to determine if they are
required for your installation.
To set the Vent restriction as indicated in the
diagrams in the "Venting Arrangements" section,
refer to the instructions below;
1) Remove the top louver if installed.
2) Loosen the screw on the vent restrictor
indicating plate.
3) Rotate the vent restrictor adjustment rod
counter clockwise to line up the slot on the
indicating plate with the point on the air box
to the required setting.
4) Tighten screw to lock position.
Screw
TOP FACING SUPPORT AND
SIDE NAILING STRIPS
Determine the total thickness of facing material
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 Depth
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 pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use
hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.
12
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.
Note: When installing side strips into
position C, the side strips are not reserved.
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P40 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.

RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
INSTALLATION
BASIC HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer 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.
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 Horizontal Termination Cap
1 90
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble (Canada only)
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
The minimum components required for a basic
vertical termination are:
1 Vertical Termination Cap
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Lengths of pipe to adequately
penetrate roof
1 Ceiling Firestop
1 Flashing
1 Storm Collar
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.
