CLEARANCES

MANTELS

The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated:

A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance that this fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.

Clearance to Combustibles from: Back 0" (0mm)

Side 0" (0mm) Floor 0" (0mm)

WARNING

Fire hazard is an extreme risk if these clearances are

not adhered to.

The HeatWave Duct Kit

and the Heat Release

Kit have different clearance and framing

Heat Release Kit requirements, check theHeatWaveandHeat

Release manual for details.

Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.

Combustible mantel clearances from louver 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.

This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches)

Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area using the above scale for units with the Flush Front and with the optional Bay Front.

Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.

MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES

Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:

Maximum

1-1/2" projection at 2" minimum clearance.

INSTALLATION

FRAMING AND

FINISHING

1)Determine the total thickness of facing material (ie. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness canvaryfrom1/2"(13mm)to1-1/4"(32mm) thick.

2)Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening for the assembled kit is 36-5/8" high x 40-1/4" wide x 19" deep (930mm H x 1022mm W x 483mm D). See Diagram 1.

Diagram 1

5)The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain these clearances from the vent to combustible materials: Flex Termination clearance1-1/2"(38mm),SimpsonDura-Vent clearance or (1-1/4" (32mm). Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the fi replace base.

The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clearance and framing requirements, check the HeatWave manual for details.

TOP ASSEMBLY &

NAILING STRIPS

The Top Facing Support and Side Nailing Strips mustbecorrectlypositionedandattachedbefore the unit is slipped into position.

1)The top standoffs are shipped installed.

2)The Top Facing Support and the 2 Side Nailing Strips can be installed at different depthsdependingonthewidthofyourfacing.

Match the depths of the top facing support and the side nailing strips.

a)Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 supplied screws into the 3 pre-punched screw holes on the top front of the unit.

See Diagrams 2 & 3 for the proper position of the Top Facing Support for the various material depths.

Position of Top Facing Support for material depth of 3/4” to 1-1/2"

Top Facing

Support

Diagram 3

Diagram 4

b)Mount the Side Nailing Strip using the 3 supplied screws into the 3 screw holes or slots (diagram 4) on the side of the unit and repeat for the other side. Use the hole for a 1/2" (13mm) thick facing material and the slot for a range of thickness from 3/4" to 1-1/2" (25mm to 38mm).

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P42 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. Eachdirectventgasappliancemustuseit'sown separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

VENT RESTRICTOR

A vent restrictor may be required. Check the diagrams in the "Rigid Pipe Venting

Arrangements" section to determine if the #6 restrictor is needed for your vent confi guration.

Diagram 1

If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restrictor using 4 screws per piece to the inside top of the fi rebox.

Note: 43"(1092mm)istheminimumheight
	for flex termination and Rigid Pipe
	terminations.
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 louvers must not be closer than
	36" (914mm) to the ceiling.	Diagram 2

NOTE: Horizontal runs 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 a possible fire hazard.

INSTALLATION

RIGID PIPE VENTING

Horizontal or Vertical Terminations

The Rigid Pipe Venting System offers 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. We recommend using the galvanized fi nish for installation with the P42.

The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are:

1Horizontal Termination Cap

190o Elbow

1Flue Adaptor

1Wall Thimble

1Length of pipe to suit wall thickness (see chart)

Vertical

Terminal

Storm Collar

Part # 953

Flashing 943 or 943S

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.

WARNING:

Do not combine venting components from different venting systems.

However use of the the AstroCapTM and FPI

Riser is acceptable with all systems.

This product has been evaluated by Intertek for using a Rigid Pipe Adaptor in conjunction with Duravent Direct-Vent GS, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Ameri Vent Direct venting and Security Secure Vent systems. Use of these systems with the

Rigid Pipe adaptor is deemed acceptable and does not affect the Intertek WHI listing of components.
