COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced
fiberglass insulation.
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent cold transfer to the fireplace and into
the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness
and caulk firestops.

Step 1. FRAMING
Frame this appliance as illustrated in Figure 9.
All framing details must allow for a minimum
clearance to combustible framing members as
shown inTable 5 on Page 9. If the appliance is to
be elevated above floor level, a solid continuous
platform must be constructed. Headers may be
in direct contact with the appliance top spacers
but must not be supported by them or notched
to fit around them. All construction above the
appliance must be self supporting, DO NOT use
the appliance for structural support.
Side Nailing Flanges
The fireplace should be secured to the framing
at the side(s) and/or rear of the unit using the
factory-provided nailing flanges. Install the 8
nailing flanges as shown in Figure 8 using the
existing screws.
Installation
900301-00 05/2016
Position the fireplace within the framing. When
required, the flanges may be bent 90 degrees by
hand or with the assistance of a hammer. Use
wood screws to secure the nailing flanges to
the framing. See Table 5 on Page 9 for clearances of framing members to cabinet parts in
the nailing flange area. The nailing flange itself
is exempt from these clearances.
Floor Nailing Tabs
Secure the fireplace to the floor as shown in
Figure 8.
*This dimension can be reduced to 41" (1041 mm). This results in 0" (0mm) clearance between framing and unit framing spacers (The 41-1/2" dimension permits
easier fireplace installation, if unit is installed after framing is erected).

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line to the left side
of the appliance as shown in Figure 11. Gas
lines must be routed, constructed and made
of materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. All appliances
are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line
connector and 1/2" shutoff valve. (See Step
5 on Page 14).

Figure 11 - Route Gas Line
Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line
from the supply regulator to the area where the
appliance is to be installed per requirements
outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54 - latest edition (USA) or CAN/CGA-B149.1
- latest edition (Canada).
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to
Table 6 for proper sizing of the gas supply line,
if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines must
be routed, constructed and made of materials
that are in strict accordance with local codes
and regulations. We recommend that a qualified
individual such as a plumber or gas fitter be
hired to correctly size and route the gas supply
line to the appliance.
Installing a gas supply line from the fuel supply to
the appliance involves numerous considerations
of materials, protection, sizing, locations, controls, pressure, sediment, and more. Certainly no
one unfamiliar and unqualified should attempt
sizing or installing gas piping.

NOTES:
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve.
• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page 6
for additional requirements for installations
in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.
• The gas supply line should Not be connected
to the appliance until Step 5 (Page 15).
• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be
used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications. Be very careful that the pipe
compound does not get inside the pipe.
• It is recommended to install a sediment
trap in the supply line as close as possible
to the appliance. Appliances using Propane
should have a sediment trap at the base of
the tank.
• Check with local building official for local
code requirements (i.e. are below grade
penetrations of the gas line allowed?, etc).
IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100-lbs, if
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting
from an improper installation, such as this, is
not covered under the limited warranty.
Step 3. INSTALL THE VENT SYSTEM
General Information
These instructions should be used as a
guideline and do not supersede local codes
in any way. Install venting according to local
codes, these instructions, the current National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or
the current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1
in Canada.
Ensure clearances are in accordance with
local installation codes and the requirements
of the gas supplier.
Dégagement conforme aux codes d'installation
locaux et aux exigences du foumisseunde gaz.
These fireplaces must be vented directly
to the outside.
The vent system may not service multiple
appliances, and must never be connected to a
flue serving a solid fuel burning appliance. The
vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed
wall (such as a chase). There is no requirement
for inspection openings in the enclosing wall at
any of the joints in the vent pipe.
In the United States, vent installation must
conform with local building codes. In the absence of local codes, vents must be installed
in accordance with the current edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1).
In Canada, vent installation must conform with
local building codes. In the absence of local
codes, vents must be installed in accordance
with the current edition of the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1 or B149.2
Installation Code.
This gas fireplace must be vertically vented
using listed 6" type-B, double-walled vent
pipe and a listed vent termination.

STEP 5. CONNECTING GAS LINE
Make gas line connections. All codes require a
shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. Figure
15 illustrates two methods for connecting the
gas supply. The flex-line method is acceptable
in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements
vary depending on locality. Installation must
be in compliance with local codes.
A sediment trap is recommended in the gas
piping within the home to prevent moisture
and debris in the line from damaging the valve.
These appliances are equipped with a gas flex
line for use (where permitted) in connecting the
unit to the gas line. A gas flex line is provided to
aid in attaching the appliance to the gas supply.
The gas flex line can only be used where local
codes permit.
The flex line is rated for both natural and propane
gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided with
the flex line. The gas control valve is located in
the lower control compartment.
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
(FACTORY AND FIELD):
WARNING
Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test solution (also referred to as
bubble leak solution).
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an
effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left
on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion
over time.
Installation
900301-00 05/2016
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment or in the Installation and Operation
Instructions manual).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the “OFF”
position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection, then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
To access the valve open the lower control
compartment door (see Figure 17 ) by pushing
in the right top corner of the door. (The door
is hinged at the bottom). Remove the bottom
compartment door by sliding the hinge pin,
located at the door’s left side, to the right until
it disengages from the left corner post hole.
Pull the door diagonally to the left, away from
the fireplace.
The lower control compartment door on the
side opposite the valve lifts on and off.
The millivolt control valve has a 3/8"
(10 mm) NPT thread inlet port.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications).
All codes require a shut-off valve mounted in
the supply line. The orientation of the shut-off
valve should face the front. Figure 15 illustrates
two methods for connecting the gas supply.
A sediment Trap is recommended to prevent
moisture and debris in the gas line for damaging the valve.

Step 6. OUTSIDE AIR KITS
Optional outside make-up air kits, Model FOAK-4
or FAOK-4LD, may be used with these appliances. Refer to the installation instructions
packaged with the air kits for specific installation
information. If used, the outside air kit must
be installed before the fireplace is framed and
enclosed in the finished wall.
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies air
to the fire for combustion. Only one outside air
duct is necessary, if installed. See the Figure 11
for the location of the units outside air inlet.
If additional length of duct is necessary, purchase locally available U.L. Class 0 or Class 1
metallic ducting. The duct may extend up to 50'
(15.24 m) in any direction.
NOTE: Do not terminate outside air kit in attic
space under any circumstances.
CAUTION: NEVER LOCATE INLET WHERE IT
CAN BE BLOCKED BY SHRUBS, SNOW DRIFTS,
ETC. NEVER LOCATE INLET IN GARAGE OR
ANY AREA WHERE THERE IS ANOTHER FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCE OR PRODUCTS EMITTING COMBUSTIBLE GASES SUCH AS PAINT,
GASOLINE, ETC. IN COLD CLIMATES, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THE COMBUSTION AIR DUCT
BE INSULATED.
After completing the installation of the optional
outside air vent system, the outside air control
lever must be put in service and tested to ensure
proper operation before completing any enclosure around the firebox. Failure to do so may
result in extensive and costly rework.
Installation
900301-00 05/2016
The outside air shutter should be fully open when
the fireplace is in use and completely closed
when the fireplace is not being used. Closing
it when not in use will prevent outside cold air
from entering the dwelling.
Operate the actuator through several cycles
including the closed position. Ensuring proper
operation and freedom of movement. Return
the actuator arm to the closed position.
NOTE: When installing the air duct vertically,
DO NOT terminate the duct closer than 3' below
the chimney top.
Outside combustion air ducting may be run
upwards or vertically through framing and ceiling joists, with the hood installed through an
outside wall and 3' (1 m) below the termination.
Ducting may also be run downward through
floor Joists and under the home to a ventilated
crawlspace not considered part of the living
area of the home.
Before the operation of the vent system can
be tested, the lever securing screw must be
removed. See Figure 16.
The hand operated outside air control lever
is located on the right side of the fireplace
opening. See Figure 16.
To open the outside air shutter, open the bottom
control access panel, reach into the gap between
the firebox bottom and the modesty panel, and
pull the outside air control lever all the way out.
