FLUSH
INSTALLATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your appliance,
you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Clearances,
Page 7).
2. Consider a location where heat output would not be affected by
drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows, or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make
installation easier. Figure 2 shows a plan view of a few common
locations.
Flush installations are recommended where living space is limited or
at a premium, and since the space required to enclose the appliance
would be located beyond an outside wall, this would also reduce the
cutting of joists, roof rafters, and such. Check local codes for any
restrictions.
Projected installations can extend any distance into the room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.
Corner installations make use of space that may not normally be
used and provides a wider and more efficient range for radiant heat
transference.
Internal wall installations provide a discreet option for room separation and can also be ideal as an addition to an existing wall.

VENTING INSTALLATION
12' Min.
Listed Vent Cap
A B-type venting system must be connected to the appliance for
venting to the outside of the building.
IHP defines installation standards of this product. Third party products must be installed to their specific standards.
Standing codes requirements concerning B-type vent installations
may vary within your state, province or local codes jurisdiction.
Therefore, it is recommended that you check with your local building codes for specific requirements or in absence of local codes,
follow Section 7.0 of the current National Fuel Gas Code NFPA No.
54/ANSI Z223.1.
This gas appliance must be vented to the outdoors only and may not
be terminated into an attic space or into a chimney flue servicing a
solid fuel burning appliance.
This appliance may be vented through a manufactured chimney
system or a masonry chimney using a B-vent adaptor or a chimney
liner system if all are listed, inspected and approved by local codes
and/or building authorities.
The examples shown in Figure 9, are typical of most B-vent installations and code practices.
Example 1 shows the minimum allowable system height and lateral
offset for a 60° or greater inclination. Code specifies that offsets at
60° or greater are considered horizontal and must follow the 75%
rule for lateral to total vertical system height. Codes also allows only
one offset in the total system when at 60° or greater. The total vertical
height in this example represents the minimum height of 8 feet and
therefore the allowable lateral is 6 feet when the 75% rule applies. If
the lateral length must exceed 75% then the system must be sized
in accordance with the Category I venting tables.
Example 2 shows a multiple offset each at 45° of inclination. Multiple
offsets are permitted if they do not exceed 45° of inclination. The
total lengths of the two offsets are not required to meet the 75%
allowable rule.
Example 3 shows a single offset at 45° of inclination and therefore the
lateral length at 10 feet of offset does not have to meet the 75% rule.
In each case the offsets must be supported and firestops must be
positioned wherever the vent must pass through a subfloor, ceiling
joist or an attic overhang. The vent pipe must terminate vertically
into a listed type vent cap and extend a sufficient height through an
approved roof flashing, roof jack or a roof thimble. At all points the
listed clearances must be maintained.
Vent terminations must be located in accordance with height and
proximity rules of NFPA No. 54. These rules apply to vents at 12"
diameter or less and require a minimum height in accordance with
the roof pitch and a minimum of 8 feet distance from a vertical wall
or obstruction (see Figure 10, Page 11).
If venting horizontally through a side wall becomes necessary, a listed
thimble (38FST recommended) approved for use with B-type vent
must be used. Check with your local codes before venting through
a side wall.

CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking the electrical, gas and vent connections, follow the lighting instructions and allow the main burner to
run for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lit match or cigarette near
top edge of fireplace opening and play it along entire length of the
opening (see Figure 11). Proper venting should tend to draw flame
or smoke into appliance. Improper venting or escaping of spillage
of burned gas, is indicated when match flickers or goes out. Smoke
from a cigarette will also tend to disperse away from the appliance.
If appliance is found to be improperly venting, shut it off and notify
your installer or a qualified service agency to inspect venting system.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION
Installation of a wall switch allows you to activate gas control valve
without normal household electricity since the valve operates on
millivolt current supplied by heat generated by thermopile. To install
wall switch:
1. Remove front refractory access panel by lifting up and angling
out firebox opening (see Figure 12).
2. Using wire and connectors provided, attach red wire to terminal
marked TH/TP on control valve. Attach white wire to blade connector on open end of safety circuit wiring (see Figure 13, and
Wiring Diagram, Page 29).
NOTE: If any of original wire from unit control must be replaced,
use the same type or a higher rated wire (25 ft. maximum length).
WARNING: Do not wire remote wall switch to main
power supply (standard 120V household current).
3.
Locate wall switch in a convenient location.
4. After wire connections are complete, replace refractory access
panel.
OPTIONAL WIRELESS HAND-HELD REMOTE CONTROL
INSTALLATION
NOTE: If using optional wireless hand-held remote control, the wall
switch is no longer operational.
Installing Receiver
1. Remove front refractory access panel by lifting up and angling
out of the firebox opening (see Figure 12) to expose controls.
2. Disconnect wall switch wires from TH/TP terminals on control valve
and blade connector on safety circuit wiring (see Figure 13 and
Wiring Diagram on Page 29).
3. See remote instructions for further information.
GAS LINE HOOK-UP
WARNING: Gas line hookup should be done by your
gas supplier or a qualified service person.
WARNING: Before you proceed, make sure your
gas supply is OFF.
Figure 12 - Removing Front Refractory Access Panel
(BRT2532TMN Model Shown)
NOTE: If any original wire as supplied must be replaced,
use 18 AWG TYPE CL2 (UL) 105° C (25 ft. length MAX)
or equivalent.
The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
gas supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5
kPa). Appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
A manual shutoff valve has been included in the appliance’s gas supply system. You may consider installing an extra gas shutoff valve
outside the appliance’s enclosure (check with local codes) where
it can be accessed more conveniently with a key through a wall as
shown in Figure 14.
In conformance with local codes, route a 1/2" NPT gas line towards
appliance coming in from any of the 3 directions shown in Figure 15.
CAUTION: Do not kink flexible gas line.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
NFPA 54 defines minimum space requirements for
the installation of this appliance.
This fireplace must be installed in an unconfined
space with a minimum of 50 cubic feet per 1,000
BTUs of gas output. Therefore 36” models require
2,650 cubic feet, 42” models require 3,100 cubic
feet and 50” models require 3,300 cubic feet. If the
space you wish to install the fireplace does not meet
these requirements NFPA 54 details several actions
that may be taken.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Before troubleshooting the system, make sure the gas shutoff valve is ON.
The two most common causes of a malfunctioning gas appliance are:
1. Loose wiring connections
2. Construction debris clogging the pilot and/or gas control valve filter
OBSERVED PROBLEM
Pilot will not light
Pilot will not stay lit
No gas to burner, although wall switch and valve
are set to the ON position
Frequent pilot outage
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. No gas supply, or shutoff valve is OFF
2. Air in gas line
3. Construction debris clogging pilot orifice
4. Low gas pressure
5. Control valve knob is not on the PILOT position
6. Kinked pilot line
7. Bad valve
1. Loose wiring on thermopile to regulator
valve. No millivolt current is being sent back
to regulator
2. If valve knob and wall switch are in the ON
position, probable defective regulator valve
1. Wall switch wires defective or too long
2. Thermopile not generating sufficient voltage
1. Pilot flame may be too low, causing safety
pilot to “drop out”
2. Improper venting or excessive blockage
REMEDY
1. Check to see if you have gas supply
2. Hold regulator control valve in the PILOT
position for 2 to 3 minutes to purge air. If you
smell gas stop and wait for a few minutes
before trying to light the fireplace
3. Remove debris and dirt, inspect and clean
any other possible obstructions
4. Contact your gas supplier
5. Refer to section on pilot lighting
6. Have a qualified technician replace pilot line
7. Replace regulator valve (see Accessories,
Page 23)
1. Check wiring connections. Refer to wiring
diagram shown in Wall Switch Installation,
Page 12
2. Have a qualified technician replace valve
1. Check electrical connections
2. See Pilot will not stay lit, above
1. Clean and adjust pilot flame for maximum
flame impingement on thermopile
2. Have the vent system inspected, including
the termination cap. Remove any restriction
or obstruction
Pilot goes out when wall switch is ON
Spark igniter will not light pilot after repeated
triggering of red button
Fireplace produces a clicking/ticking noise just
after burner is lit or shut off
1. Millivolt output on thermopile too high
1. Defective igniter (no spark at electrode)
2. Defective pilot or misaligned electrode at
pilot (spark at electrode)
3. No gas or low gas pressure
4. If using propane/LP gas, no propane/LP gas
in tank
1. Metal expanding while heating or contracting
while cooling
1. Replace thermopile
1. Check for spark at the electrode and pilot;
if no spark and electrode wire is properly
connected, replace igniter
2. Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn
off pilot and trigger the red button again.
If pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture
caused the improper lighting and a longer
purge period is recommended. If pilot will
not light, check gap at electrode and pilot.
Gap should be 1/8" to have a strong spark.
If okay, replace pilot
3. A) Check remote shut off valves from fireplace. Valve will be near fireplace or near
the main. There can be more than one valve
between fireplace and main
B) Low pressure can be caused by bent line,
too narrow diameter of pipe, or low line pressure. Check for kinked lines. If none, consult
with plumber or gas supplier
4. Check propane/LP supply and contact local
propane/LP supplier
1. This is normal with most fireplaces. If noise
is excessive, contact qualified service person
