PRE-INSTALLATION
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient location for your direct vent replace. Make sure
that rafters and wall studs are not in the way
of the venting system. Choose a location
where the heat output is not affected by drafts,
air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
Be aware of all restrictions and precautions
before deciding the exact location for your
replace and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your replace,
follow these rules:
• Do not connect this replace venting to a
chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
• If your replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the replace (see Figure 6).
• If standoff spacers are attached to your
replace, these spacers can be placed
directly against wall or framing material.
See framing details, page 8.
• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 7, page 10.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall
or siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with
450º F (232º C) heat-resistant paint to
coordinate with the exterior nish.
• There must not be any obstruction such as
bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or
utility buildings within 24" from the front of
the termination cap and the front of outside
air vent.
• Do not locate termination cap and outside
air vent where excessive snow or ice build
up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent
accidental blockage of venting system.
When using snow blowers, do not direct
snow towards vent termination area.

VENTING INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Read these instructions completely before attempting installation.
These models are tested and approved for
use with an IHP (direct vent) pipe components
and terminations.
The venting system must terminate on the
outside of the structure and can not be at-
tached to a chimney or ue system serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
A direct vent appliance must have its own
venting system. DO NOT common vent this
appliance.
These models are approved to be vented
either horizontally through an outside wall or
vertically through a roof or chase enclosure
using the following guidelines:
• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall, you may install
a standoff if the termination cap is to be
installed directly on a combustible nish
such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.
• Never run the vent downward as this may
cause excessive temperatures which could
cause a re.
• Vent pipe air space clearances to com-
bustibles are 1" on all sides except on the
horizontal sections, which requires 2" clearance from the top of the pipe. Where the
termination cap penetrates a combustible
wall, 1" air space clearance is required.
• Have replace and selected vent components on hand to help determine the exact
measurements when elbowing or offsetting.
Always use wall restops when penetrating
walls and restops when penetrating ceil-
ings or attic spaces.
• For installation of replace at elevations of
4000 feet or greater, pay special attention
to venting requirement recommendations.
WARNING: Read all instructions completely and thoroughly
before attempting installation.
Failure to do so could result in
serious injury, property damage
or loss of life.
NOTICE: Do not seal termination
cap to vent pipe. Cap must be
removable for vent inspection
and maintenance.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for
protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders
or when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in
walls and ceilings
The following actions will void the warranty
on your venting system:
• Installation of any damaged venting
component
• Unauthorized modication of the venting
system (Do not cut or alter vent components)
• Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by INNOVATIVE
HEARTH PRODUCTS
• Installation other than as instructed by
these instructions
WARNING: This gas replace
and vent assembly must be
vented directly to the outside.
The venting system must NEVER
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use a separate
vent system. Do not use common vent systems.
WARNING: Vent pipe air
space clearances to combus-
tibles are 1" on all sides except
on the horizontal sections,
which require 2" clearances
from the top of the pipe. Where
the termination cap penetrates
a combustible wall, 1" air space
clearance is required.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these
instructions will void the warranty.

There are two basic types of direct vent
installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
Horizontal Termination Installation
IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations
require only inner portion of wall restop.
Horizontal installations using round termina-
tion require exterior portion of wall restop.
1. Set replace in its desired location and de-
termine the route your horizontal venting
will take. Do not secure replace until all
venting has been installed. Some instal-
lations require sliding replace in and out
of position to make nal venting connec-
tions. Figures 11 and 12 on page 13 show
different congurations for venting with
horizontal termination that will help you
decide which application best suits your
installation. Check to see if wall studs or
roof rafters are in the path of your desired
venting route. If they are, you may want
to adjust location of replace.
2. Direct vent pipe sections and components
are designed with special twist-lock connections.
Twist-Lock Procedure: Female ends of
pipes have locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into match-
ing slots on male ends of adjacent pipes.
Push pipe sections together and twist
one section clockwise approximately onequarter turn until sections are fully locked
(see Figure 8).
Note: Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
ported every three feet. Use wall straps
for this purpose.
3. Assemble desired combination of pipe
and elbows to replace ue collar. If there
are long portions of venting run, preassembled pipe sections may be installed
as subassemblies for convenience.
4. Carefully determine location where vent
pipe assembly will penetrate outside wall.
Center of hole should line up with center
line of horizontal vent pipe. Mark wall for
an 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" square hole. Cut and
frame square hole in exterior wall where
vent will be terminated. If wall being pen-

5. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position
horizontal vent cap in center of the 8 1/2"
round hole and attach to exterior wall
with four wood screws provided. Before
attaching vent cap to exterior wall, run a
bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable
sealant) around outside edges to make a
seal between it and outside wall.
Note: Four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete or other types of
sidings (see Figure 10).
Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl
siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding
standoff may be installed between vent
cap and exterior wall. Siding standoff
prevents excessive heat from damaging
siding materials. Siding material must be
cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt vent
cap to standoff. Apply non-hardening
mastic around outside edge of standoff.
Position standoff/cap assembly in the
center of 11 1/2" square hole and attach to
exterior wall with provided wood screws
(see Figure 11). Siding standoff must sit
ush against exterior fascia material.

Installation
Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed in
all vertical installations.
1. Determine route your vertical venting
will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or
other framing will obstruct venting system,
consider an offset (see Figure 16) to avoid
cutting load bearing members. Note: Pay
special attention to these installation
instructions for required clearances (air
space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Also note maximum
vertical rise of venting system and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations.
2. Set replace in desired location. Drop a
plumb line down from ceiling to position
of replace exit ue. Mark center point
where vent will penetrate ceiling. Drill a
small locating hole at this point.
3. Drop a plumb line from inside of roof to
locating hole in ceiling. Mark center point
where vent will penetrate roof. Drill a small
locating hole at this point.

Flat Ceiling Installation
1. Cut a 11 1/2" square hole in ceiling using
locating hole as a center point. Opening
should be framed to 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" inside
dimensions, as shown in Figure 9 on page
12 using framing lumber the same size as
ceiling joists. If area above ceiling is an
insulated ceiling or an attic, nail restop
from top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into required clearance
space. If area above ceiling is a living
space, install restop below framed hole.
Firestop should be installed with no less
than three nails per side (see Figure 17).
If area above is an attic or insulated area,
install restop above framed hole.

2. Assemble desired lengths of pipe and
elbows necessary to reach from replace
ue up through restop. Be sure all pipe
and elbow connections are fully twistlocked (see Figure 8, page 12).
3. Cut a hole in the roof using locating hole
as a center point. (Cover any exposed
open vent pipes before cutting hole in
roof.) The 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" hole must be
measured on the horizontal; actual length
may be larger depending on pitch of roof.
There must be a 1" clearance from vent
pipe to combustible materials. Frame
opening as shown in Figure 9 page 12.
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up
through hole.
Note: If an offset is needed to avoid
obstructions, you must support vent pipe
every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 14, page 15). Whenever
possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restric-
tion to the ow of ue gases.
5. Place ashing over pipe section(s) extending through roof. Secure base of
ashing to roof and framing with roong
nails. Be sure roong material overlaps
top edge of ashing as shown in Figure
16. There must be a 1" clearance from
vent pipe to combustible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until height
of vent cap meets the minimum building
code requirements described in Figure 7
on page 10.
Note: You must increase vent height for
steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining
rooines, steep pitched roofs and other
similar factors may cause poor draft or
down-drafting in high winds. Increasing
vent height may solve this problem.
7. Twist-lock vent cap onto last section of
vent pipe.
Note: If vent pipe passes through any occupied
areas above rst oor, including storage spaces
and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may
frame and sheetrock enclosure with standard
construction material. Make sure and meet the
minimum allowable clearances to combustibles.
Do not ll any required air spaces with insulation.

Number Description
Use proper gas type for the replace unit you
are installing. If you have conicting gas types,
do not install replace. See retailer where you
purchased the replace for proper replace
according to your gas type.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO
FIREPLACE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified
service person must connect
replace to gas supply. Follow
all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP
units, never connect replace directly to the propane/LP supply.
This heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between
the replace and propane/LP
supply.
WARNING: For natural
gas, never connect replace to
private (non-utility) gas wells.
This gas is commonly known
as wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing replace, make sure you
have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved exible gas line with gas connec-
tor (if allowed by local codes)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT
tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff
valve from your retailer.
For propane/LP connection only, the installer
must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure
to between 11" and 14" of w.c. pressure. If
you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
replace regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 19. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to replace.
If pipe is too small, undue loss
of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.
NPT tap must be upstream from replace (see
Figure 21, page 20).
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equip-
ment shutoff valve) in an accessible location.
The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.

We recommend that you install a sediment
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure
21. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it
is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping
system between fuel supply and replace.
Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap
traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps
them from going into replace gas controls. If
sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is in-
stalled wrong, replace may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame
patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the
proper ame. Alterations may have occurred
during shipping and handling. The pilot is
located on right hand side of burner.
The ame must envelope 1/4" of top of the
ignitor/sensor and grounding stem.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these
requirements:
• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT
clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise
to increase the ame to proper size (see
Figure 39). Do not remove the adjustment
screw.
• see Troubleshooting, page 34
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner ames will be steady, not lifting or oating. Flame patterns will be different from unit
to unit and will vary depending on installation
type and weather conditions.
If the vent conguration is installed incorrectly,
ames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect ames after installation to ensure
proper installation and performance.
If burner ame pattern differs from that described:
• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance), page 27
• see Troubleshooting, page 34

other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface. During initial start-up a slight lm may
form on the glass due to paint curing. The
glass should be cleaned several times with a
non-ammonia, nonabrasive household clean-
er and warm water after the rst two weeks
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two
or three times during each heating season,
depending on the usage and circumstances
present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 22 of this manual when removing
glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer
should be used when replacing
broken or damaged glass door
panels (see Replacement Parts,
page 33). Glass door panel are
complete units. No substitute
materials may be used.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses while handling or
removing broken glass. Do not
remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 22). Vacuum all glass pieces with
a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
pieces are hot.

PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove material before cleaning burners
and replace when cleaning is complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned with
compressed air to remove dust, dirt or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled
brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting
system following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced im-
mediately by a qualied service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a ash-
light into the vent. Remove any foreign
material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipes and ttings
and can be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section
or tting has been disturbed and loos-
ened. Check mechanical supports such
as wall straps for rigidity.
REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
1. Unplug power
