Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0" (0mm)
CAUTION REQUIREMENTS: The top, back and sides of the fi replace are defi ned by standoffs.
The metal ends of the standoffs may NOT be recessed into combustible construction.
Determine the total thickness of the fi nished fl oor (eg. tile, carpet, slate) to allow the fi nished

COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
Mantel Clearances
Because of the extreme heat this fi replace emits,
the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible
mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in
Diagram to the right.
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.
WARNING:
Fire hazard is an extreme risk
if these clearances (air space)
to combustible materials are
not adhered to. It is of greatest
importance that this fi replace
and vent system be installed
only in accordance with these
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6
inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area
or higher using this scale.
Caution: Ensure the paint that is used on the
mantel and the facing
is "heat resistant" or the paint may
discolour.
* If the 3" (76mm) metal extension trim is removed
it must be replaced with a 8" (203mm) noncombustible material.

(32mm) thick.
2) When locating your appliance on an exterior wall or in a chase, apply
a vapour barrier and drywall, as per local building codes. DO NOT
INSULATE THE FIREPLACE ITSELF.
CAUTION: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in
a chase. The clearance on top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs
so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top
of the standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the vent to
combustible materials for both rigid and fl ex, see Vent Clearances
in the "Clearances" section.

INSTALLATION
Facing & Finishing Requirements
This fi replace is supplied with a 3" metal extension trim above the fi replace. The extension trim may be replaced if the framing is faced with a non-
combustible material placed fl ush with the front and side face of the unit and extending from the top of the unit. (ie. tile, slate, etc.)
UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The 4 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) 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 4
screws per standoff (on opposite corners).
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P121-2/P121LC-2/P121RC-2/P131-2 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. (See "Rigid Pipe Venting
Systems" for more details and exceptions).
