REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
These fireplaces are approved for installation in the U.S. state of Massachusetts if the following additional
requirements are met:
• Install this fireplace in accordance with Massachusetts Rules and Regulations 248 C.M.R..
• Installation and repair must be done by a plumber or gas fitter licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
• The flexible gas line connector used shall not exceed 36” (914 mm) in length.
• The individual manual shutoff must be a T-handle type valve.
Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, horizontal terminations installed less than seven (7) ft above the finished
grade must comply with the following additional requirements:
• A hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up must be installed on the floor level
where the gas fireplace is installed. The carbon monoxide detector must comply with NFPA 720, be ANSI/UL
2034 listed and be ISA certified.
• A metal or plastic identification plate must be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum height
of eight (8) ft above grade and be directly in line with the horizontal termination. The sign must read, in print size no
less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your fireplace 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 fireplace rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed
with unfaced fiberglass insulation.
NOTE: Do not use loose, or blown-in insulation in the cavity surrounding the fireplace.
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 conduction of cold transferring to the fireplace and into the room. It also helps to
seal inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.

CAUTION
CAUTION
LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the fireplace are primary concerns. However, vent
system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important.
Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
En raison des températures élevées, l’appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a peu de
circulation et loin du mobilier et des tentures.
The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning ducting.
These direct-vent fireplaces 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.
Be aware that this is a heat producing fireplace. Objects placed above the unit are exposed to elevated temperatures.
Do not insulate the space between the fireplace and the area above it.
The minimum height from the base of the fireplace to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a
utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Table 9 and Table 10.

The fireplace must be mounted on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of the unit. The fireplace
may be located on or near conventional construction materials. However, if installed on combustible materials, such
as carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
Hearth Extension
A hearth extension is not required with this fireplace. 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.
Shelf Height
To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, use the rear vent model. For top vent models, the venting attached
to the top vent should be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the space above the fireplace. Do not insulate
the space between the fireplace and the area above it (Table 9 and Table 10). The minimum height from the base
of the fireplace to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in
Table 9 and Table 10.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
NOTE: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined
by the fireplace front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or
overlapping the fireplace face (Figure 41).
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other fireplace trim, may be installed on the fireplace face, but they
must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel or control compartment.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel (Figure 7). Mantels
constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the fireplace opening. However, do
not allow anything to hang below the fireplace hood.
Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above
the fireplace.
NOTE: To avoid heat-related finish damage, use finish materials rated 175 °F, or higher, on the underside of the mantel.
The fireplace is shipped with all gas controls and components installed and pre-wired. Before installing the fireplace,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the shipping carton, and retain the front of the carton (used to protect the fireplace during construction).
2. Remove the shipping pad, exposing the front glass door.
3. Remove the glass door (Page 57).
NOTE: Place the glass door on the shipping carton to protect its surface.

per requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54—latest edition (USA) or CAN/CGA-B149.1—
latest edition (Canada).
The gas supply line should not be connected to the appliance until step 12. Connect the Gas Line (Page 38).

NOTE:
• All fireplaces are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line connector and 1/2” shutoff valve (Figure 35).
• See Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements for additional requirements for installations in the state of
Massachusetts in the USA.
• 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.
• A sediment trap in the supply line as close as possible to the fireplace is recommended.
• Check with the local building official for local code requirements (e.g., Are below grade penetrations of the gas
line allowed?, etc).
CAUTION
If propane is used, be aware that with a tank that is too small (i.e., under 100 lbs, if this
is the only gas appliance in the dwelling—see NPFA 58), there may be a loss of pressure.
This can result in insufficient fuel delivery that can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or other
malfunctions. Any damage resulting from an improper installation is not covered by the
limited warranty.

VENT SYSTEM PREPARATION
7. Select a Horizontal or Vertical Vent System
1. With the fireplace secured in the framing, determine the vent route and identify the exterior termination location.
The following sections describe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exterior wall) vent applications. Use only approved
vent components (Page 8 and Page 44).
NOTE: This fireplace 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 separate solid fuel burning appliance.
NOTE: 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.

Connecting the vent pipe
Secure Vent® SV4.5 direct-vent system components are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist
lock connections (Figure 16 and Figure 17). All of the fireplaces covered in this document are fitted with collars
having locking inclined channels. The dimpled end of the vent components fit over the fireplace/vent collar to create
the positive twist lock connection.
1. Align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples are aligned
with the inlet of the four (4) inclined channels on the collar (Figure 16).
2. Push the vent component against the collar 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.
Installation
900004-00, 04/2015
Vent elbows
NOTE: The unitized design of the Secure Vent® components will engage and seal both the inner and outer vent pipe.
3. If desired, a #6 x 1/2” screw can be used at the joint, but is not required as the pipe will securely lock
when twisted (Figure 17).
Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer with an option to install
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 1/2–7” (38–191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with a locking inclined channel end (identical to a normal vent
section component) and a plain end with three (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 (3) screws.
