Installation
Requirements
This insert can be installed in most solid fuel burning fireplaces of either masonry construction or a prefabricated
factory built fireplace.
Prior to any installation, the existing chimney exhaust
flue must be thoroughly cleaned and completely inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or fireplace service
person.
Do not install this insert into a chimney that is damaged. Any repairs must be made prior to installing the
insert. If you are unsure of the condition of your fireplace
and chimney, contact a professional fireplace technician
or your local authorized Scan dealer for professional assistance.
31 1/4
(793)

(879)
DO NOT REMOVE BRICKS OR MORTAR FROM THE
FIREPLACE OR CHIMNEY STRUCTURE. However, masonry
or steel may be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame area to accommodate installation
of a chimney liner, provided that their removal will not
weaken the structure of the fireplace or chimney, and will
not reduce protection for combustible materials.
If the fireplace has been modified to accommodate
installation, use anchors or masonry nails to attach the
metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate to the back wall
of the masonry fireplace firebox where it will be readily
seen should the insert be removed.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OF
ANY KIND. All venting components must be installed in
accordance with the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the pipe manufacturer’s
instructions for proper pipe clearances.

Minimum Fireplace
Requirements
This fireplace insert has been specifically designed to be
installed into a solid fuel burning factory built fireplace
or a code approved solid fuel burning masonry fireplace
with a tile flue liner. An acceptable fireplace cavity must
have the minimum dimensions specified in fig. 3.
Do not modify or alter the construction of the gas
insert or any of its components to enable it to fit into a
fireplace. Any modification of the insert will void the
warranty, certifications and approvals of the unit and
could be dangerous.

Clearance Requirements
The following clearances and hearth specifications are
the minimum requirements for installing this appliance
into a solid fuel-burning fireplace. See figs. 4 - 7.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e.
sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces
are not limited to those that are visible and also include
materials that are behind non-combustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. Remember, “Fire
Resistant” materials are considered combustible; they
are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also, “fire-rated”
sheet rock is considered combustible.
Always maintain the proper clearances to allow for
the flow of ventilation air around the insert.
Hearth Requirements
Hearth protection in front of the Scan 45i must be
composed of any noncombustible material extending
a minimum 36” wide. Hearth protection must extend
a minimum 18” forward of the firebox glass panel.
Raised Hearth: A raised hearth that is at least 6” high
requires a non-combustible hearth that extends a
minimum 12” from the fireplace glass and and is a
minimum of 32” wide.

Leg Leveler Bolts and Brackets
This feature enables greater installation flexibility
beyond eliminating problems caused by irregularities
in the hearth floor.
Install the leveling bolts all the way into the bolt
brackets. The leveling bolts may be extended from the
mounting brackets no more than 1/2”. See fig. 6.
The firebox may be further raised, in 1/2” increments, up to 2 1/2” more (max. 3” total) by adjusting
the height of the leveling bolt mounting brackets. Fig. 7.

Four, AA batteries provide back-up power in case
of a power outage.

139234_Rev_A 9.17.10
Vent Guidelines
• All vent components must be installed in accordance
with the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s
instructions.
• The minimum height of termination cap from the
top of the unit shall be no less than 10’, and the maximum height shall be no more than 40’. See figures 2
and 4.
• Steep roofs, nearby trees, or predominantly windy
conditions can promote weak draft or occasional
downdrafts. In such cases, increasing the height of
the vent or installation of high wind termination
caps may alleviate the condition.
• HORIZONTAL RUNS are not permitted anywhere in
the venting system.
• Venting liners CANNOT be less than 3” in diameter or
greater than 3” in diameter.
• Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used
as a passageway for venting PROVIDED the flue is
relined using 3” Listed Flexible Gas Liner.
• The remaining space around the liner in a masonry
or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any
other appliance.
• Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed to any
living space.
• Installation of any components not manufactured
or approved by Scan or failure to meet all clearance
requirements will void all warranties and could result
in property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.
• Never modify any venting component, or use any
damaged venting product.
• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE
VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING
A SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING APPLIANCE.
• The minimum vent height above the roof or adjacent
walls is specified by building codes. A general guide
to follow is the Gas Vent Rule below.
Vent Installation Procedure
This appliance must be vented through dual 3 inch
flexible gas aluminum liners listed for use with gas
appliances.
The co-linear installation includes a pair of 3 inch
flex ducts that run from the insert up through the
existing chimney.
One duct is attached to the exhaust port on the
back of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases to the
outside of the house. This exhaust liner must run the
full length of the chimney and be directly connected to
the chimney termination cap. See figure 8.
The other 3 inch liner will be attached to the air intake port on the back of the unit and will provide fresh
air for combustion to the unit. This liner must extend a
minimum of 6 feet off the back of the unit and extend
through the damper area of the fireplace and into the
tile liner of the chimney. This liner can also extend the
full length of the chimney and connect to the termination cap. See figures 8 and 9.
IMPORTANT
If the intake flex does not extend the full length
of the chimney and connect to the unit and the
termination cap - A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST
BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT
BELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT (normally at
the damper area). See figure 8.
To avoid cross venting the insert, label the duct to
be used for the exhaust conduit at both the top and
bottom ends. This ensures that the exhaust duct will
be attached to the correct collar on the insert and on
the chimney termination kit.
CANADA NOTE: Both Intake and Exhaust ducts
must extend the full length of the chimney and be
connected to both the unit and the termination kit.
