LOCATION

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the appliance are primary concerns. However, vent system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important. Consideration should be given to traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc., due to elevated surface temperatures ( The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning ducting.

These direct vent appliances are uniquely suited for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned directly above the fireplace. Utility shelves like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.

These fireplaces are designed, tested and listed for operation and installation with, and only with, Secure Vent™ (SV 4.5) Direct Vent System Components, Secure Flex™ Flexible Vent Components manufactured by Security Chimneys International. These approved vent system components are labeled for identification.

DO NOT use any other manufacturer's vent components with these appliances. 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 enclosing 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.

Preparing the Appliance Top Vent Outlet in All Venting Applications Using the Appliance Top Vent Outlet

A vent restrictor may be needed with this appliance. Install the vent restrictor (provided) in the appliance top flue outlet as shown in

Figure 12

. It is held in place by friction, only.

VENT RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION

(TOP VENT)

In all venting applications using the top vent of

the appliance, a vent restrictor may be

needed. Install the vent restrictor in the top

vent of the appliance outlet.

If needed, install the restrictor orientated as

shown, either from inside or outside the unit,

in the inner fireplace collar.

Select Venting System - Horizontal or Vertical

With the appliance secured in framing, determine vent routing and identify the exterior termination location. The following sections describe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exterior wall) vent applications. Refer to the section relating to your installation. A list of approved

venting components is shown in the tables on pages 24 and 25.

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)

Figures 13, and Figures 23 through 27 on pages 12 to 13

and their associated Vertical Vent Tables illustrate the various vertical venting configurations that are possible for use with these appliances. Secure Vent pipe applications are shown in these figures; Secure Flex pipe may also be used. A Vertical Vent Table summarizes each system’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length values that can be used to design and install the vent components in a variety of applications. Both these vertical vent systems terminate through the roof. The minimum vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls is specified in ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition) (In Canada, the current CAN-1 B149 installation code) by major building codes. Always consult your local codes for specific requirements. A general guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to

Figure 4

on page 5).

Vertical (Straight) Installation

Determine the number of straight vent sections required. 4 ¹⁄₂" (114 mm), 10 ¹⁄₂" (267 mm), 22 ¹⁄₂" (572 mm), 34 ¹⁄₂" (876 mm) and 46 ¹⁄₂" (1181 mm) net section lengths are available. Plan the vent lengths so that a joint does not occur at the intersection of ceiling or roof joists. Refer to the Vent Section Length Chart.

Analyze the vent routing and determine the quantities of vent sections and number of elbows required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and Tables on page 12 and 13 to select the type of vertical installation desired. Vent sections are available in net lengths of 4 ¹⁄₂" (114 mm), 10 ¹⁄₂" (267 mm), 22 ¹⁄₂" (572 mm), 34 ¹⁄₂" (876 mm) and 46 ¹⁄₂" (1181 mm). Refer to the Vent Section Length Chart on page 9 for an aid in selecting length combinations. Elbows are available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer to

Figure 18

for the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90

elbow dimensional specifications.

Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer with an option in installing in tight and confined spaces or where the vent run made up of fixed length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable location, or will not build up to the required length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section has an effective length of from 1 ¹⁄₂" (38 mm) to 7 ¹⁄₂" (191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with a locking inclined channel end (identical to a normal vent section component) and a plain end with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the locking channel end of a standard SV4.5 vent component the required distance and secure with three screws.

Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustible materials for all vertical elements. Clearances for all horizontal elements are 3" (76 mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides and 1" (25 mm) on the bottom.

A. Frame ceiling opening - Use a plumb line

from the ceiling above the appliance to locate center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10¹⁄₂" x 10¹⁄₂" (267mm x 267mm) inside dimensions, about this center mark

(Figure 14)

10¹⁄₂” Min. (267 mm)

All of the appliances covered in this document are fitted with collars having locking inclined channels. The dimpled end of the vent components fit over the appliance collar to create the positive twist lock connection.

To add another vent component to a length of vent run, align the dimpled end over the inclined channel end of the previously installed section, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the previous section.

Push the vent component against the previous section until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.This seating position

is indicated by the alignment of the arrow and dimple as shown in

Figure 16.

D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - Use a

SV4.5BF firestop/spacer at ceiling joists. If there is living space above the ceiling level, the firestop/spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the firestop/spacer must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening and secure the firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.

Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running vertical chimney sections.

E. Support the vertical vent run sections -

Note - Proper venting support is very impor-

tant. The weight of the vent must not be supported by the firplace in any degree.

Support the vertical portion of the venting system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace vent outlet. One method of support is by utilizing field provided support straps (conventional plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's tape to the framing members with nails or screws.

and their associated Horizontal Vent Table illustrate the various horizontal venting configurations that are possible for use with these appliances. Secure Vent pipe applications are shown in these figures; Secure Flex pipe may also be used. A Horizontal Vent Table summarizes each system’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length values that can be used to design and install the vent components in a variety of applications. Both of these horizontal vent systems terminate through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit terminating in specific areas. Refer to

Figure 8

on page 6 for location guidelines.

Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system compo-

nents are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist lock connection, (

Figure 15

on page 10). All of the appliances

covered in this document are fitted with collars having locking inclined channels. The dimpled end of the vent components fit over the appliance collar to create the positive twist lock connection.

A. Plan the vent run - Analyze the vent routing and determine the types and quantities of sections required 4 ¹⁄₂" (114 mm), 10 ¹⁄₂" (267 mm), 22 ¹⁄₂" (572 mm), 34 ¹⁄₂" (876 mm) and 46 ¹⁄₂" (1181 mm) net section lengths are available. Make allowances for elbows as indicated in

It is very important that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a straight (no dips) and recommended to be in a slightly elevated plane, in a direction away from the fireplace of ¹⁄₄" rise per foot (20 mm

per meter) which is ideal, though rise per foot run ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the way down to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant surface and adjust the support straps as necessary.

J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall - If not

previously measured, locate the center of the vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as described in Step B

When using square (SV4.5 HTS), short square (SV4.5 HTSS) or round (SV4.5HTR) horizontal termination -

Assemble the vent system to point where the terminus of the last section is within 6 in. (152 mm) to 10¹⁄₄ in. (260 mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which the termination is to be attached, see

K. When using square (SV4.5HTS) or short square (SV4.5 HTSS) horizontal termination

- attach termination adapter -

Attach the adapter (adapter - SV4.5RCH - provided with the termination) to the vent section or telescoping vent section), elbow or appliance collar as shown in

Figure 29

in the same manner

as any SV4.5 vent component (refer to Step E).

L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall - When using either of the square terminations, install SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), or SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer over the opening at the exterior side of the framing, long side up, with the 3 inch spacer clearance at the top as shown in

Figure 29 or 30

, and nail into place. (The Firestop/Spacer may be installed over the opening at the interior side of the framing.) When using the round termination, a separate firestop/spacer is not required since this termination has integral spacers which provide the same function as a separate firestop/spacer.

end of a vent run made up of rigid Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent sections provided that doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements or clearance considerations detailed in this manual.

Secure Flex kits come with an included adapter that can be fitted to the appliance collar or the inclined channel end of the last Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent section. Align the dimpled end of the adapter over the previously installed section or appliance collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the adapter are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the last vent section or collar. Push on the adapter until it fully engages, then twist the adapter clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

Attach the flexible vent to the adapter as follows (see also

A. Install the Inner Flex Pipe -

1. Install the small gear clamp loosely around

the inner flexible vent pipe, push it back out of the way.

2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700°F) high temperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81) to the inner adapter collar, approxi-

mately ¹⁄₂ inch from the end.

3. Pull and extend the inner flexible vent pipe.

4. Slide the inner flex pipe over the adapter

collar. Ensure the flexible vent pipe completely engages the adapter collar to a distance of 1³⁄₄ inches from the end, and that it is free from damage or tears.

5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it fully to secure the flexible vent to the adapter inner collar approximately ³⁄₄ inch from the end of the flex.

6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart through the flexible vent pipe and into the adapter collar just below the gear clamp to provide additional security to the connection.

Step 7. INSTALLING LOGS AND GLOWING EMBERS

The logs are packaged in a carton which is shrink-wrapped to the front glass enclosure panel. The glowing embers are packaged separately in a plastic bag located in the control area of the fireplace.

Refer to the homeowner's care and operation instructions for detailed placement instructions for the logs and glowing embers.

Step 8. CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATION

With gas line installed run initial system checkout before closing up the front of the unit. Follow the pilot lighting instructions provided in the Homeowner's Care and Operation Instructions. For piezo ignitor location see Honeywell millivolt appliances only).

Note: Instructions are also found on the literature tag attached to the gas valve train.

When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the line to purge itself of air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging. Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).

Step 10. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

Flame Appearance and Sooting

Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste. Generally, most people prefer the warm glow of a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated with air shutter openings that are too large will exhibit flames that are blue and transparent. These weak, blue and transparent flames are termed anemic. If the air shutter opening is too small sooting may develop.

Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termination. Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellow to orange flame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted between these two extremes.

No smoke or soot should be present. Reposition the logs if flames impinge on any of them. If the logs are properly positioned and sooting conditions exist, the air shutter opening on the main burner tube should be adjusted. Normally, the more offsets in the vent system, the greater the need for the air shutter to be opened further.

Burner Adjustment

Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 minutes. Observe the flame continuously. If it appears weak or sooty as previously described, adjust the air shutter by pushing or pulling on the adjustment rod until the flame appearance is as desired.

The adjustment rod and associated adjustable air shutter is patented technology. Flame adjustments can be made quickly and accurately to taste without the need of disassembling the appliance and waiting for 30 minutes after each adjustment.

Note: If the flame still appears anemic with the air shutter closed all the way against the stop (usually a result of lengthy vertical runs), turn the appliance off, turn the gas supply off, wait for the parts to cool, remove the glass door and logs to access the air shutter. The shutter is prevented from actually closing all the way by an adjustment set screw (see Figure 54). Remove this screw using a

¹⁄₄

inch nut driver. Reinstall the logs and glass door, turn the gas back on and then restart the appliance. After 30 minutes, reobserve the flame. Adjust the air shutter as previously described.

When satisfied that the appliance operates properly, proceed to finish the installation. Leave the control knob in the ON position and the remote switch OFF. Close the lower control compartment door.

Step 11. HOOD INSTALLATION

All of these appliances must have hoods installed prior to operating.

On all clean face units, slide the hood into the slots on the lower edge of the radiant panel (

Figure 55

On louvered face units, slide the hood into the slots on the lower edge of the cabinet top (

A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. If a hearth extension is used, do not block the lower control compartment door. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to standard hearth extension installation requirements.

Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance front face. See Figures 55 and 56 on page 23.

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the appliance front face with these exceptions: they must not cover any portion of the glass or louvers; they may cover any portion of the top radiant panel or the air gaps surrounding the top radiant panel up to the installed hood.

Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel. (See

Figure 58

). Mantels constructed of non-

combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the hood.

Combustible materials may project beyond the sides of the fireplace opening as long as they are kept within the shaded areas illustrated in

pressure test fitting and verify manifold pressure reads 3.5 inches water column (0.87 kPa) for natural gas, and 10.0 inches water column (2.49 kPa) for propane gas.

c. Refer to hood assembly to access the hexed pilot orifice. Remove and replace the orifice with the one provided with the kit.

Step 5. Millivolt Appliances -

Convert the gas valve as follows (

Remove the plastic protecting cap. Remove the gas type setting screw by turning it counterclockwise. Obtain the replacement gas type setting screw from the kit and screw it into place (red for propane and blue for natural gas). Tighten the gas type setting screw by turning it clockwise. Replace the plastic protecting cap.

b. Attach manometer to the manifold side

pressure test fitting and verify manifold pressure reads 3.5 inches water column (0.87 kPa) for natural gas, and 10.0 inches water column (2.49 kPa) for propane gas.

Convert the pilot orifice as follows (refer to

Figures 62, 63 and 64 ): Note - Use extra care not to engage the orifice strip with the 7/16" open end wrench (contacting the orifice strip could cause strip distortion rendering the pilot inoperative). Also avoid wrench contact to any of the other pilot parts.

Use a 7/16" open end wrench and turn the pilot hex fitting counter-clockwise 1/4 turn. (

refer

to Figure 62 ).

Note - The orifice strip tab may be randomly located on any side of the hex fitting.

d. Push the orifice strip tab all the way against the hex fitting to align the appropriate gas type orifice

(refer to Figures 63 and 64)

. The type of gas for which the pilot is set, is, the gas type shown on the tab.

e. Retighten, clockwise, the pilot hex fitting until the pilot hood aligns with the thermocouple and thermopile as indicated by the arrows shown in
