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

Be aware that this is a heat producing ap­pliance. Objects placed above the unit are
exposed to elevated temperatures.

Do not insulate the space between the appli­ance and the area above it (see Figure 8 ).

The minimum height from the base of the appli­ance to the underside of combustible materials
used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion
is shown in Figure 8.

The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials.
However, if installed on combustible materials,
such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or
wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface
must be used.

Hearth Extension - 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.

Shelf Height - To provide for the lowest pos-

sible shelf surface, use the alternate rear vent
outlet, the venting attached to the top vent should
be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to
the space above the appliance. Do not insulate

the space between the appliance and the area
above it (see Figure 8). The minimum height

from the base of the appliance to the underside of
combustible materials used to construct a utility
shelf in this fashion is shown in Figure 8.

The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials.
However, if installed on combustible materials,
such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or
wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface
must be used.

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds
and other appliance trim, may be installed on
the appliance face with these exceptions: 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. See Figure 9. Mantels constructed of
non-combustible materials may be installed
at any height above the appliance opening;

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS

The appliance is shipped with all gas controls and components installed
and pre-wired.

1. Remove the shipping pad, exposing the front face assembly with barrier
and hood. Remove the hood by pulling firmly straight away from the unit.

2. Remove the face assembly with barrier by lifting the front face as­sembly approximately 1/2" then pull straight out away from the fireplace
until the mounting tabs clear, exposing the glass door.

3. Open the two latches (located under the firebox floor) securing the
glass door. Remove the door by tilting it outward at the bottom and
lifting it up. Set the door aside protecting it from inadvertent damage.

See Removing and Installing Glass Panels on Page 35.

4. Lift the pressure relief plates and remove the cardboard from beneath

each plate (be careful not to damage the white gasket).

TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

The typical sequence of installation is outlined
below. However, each installation is unique
and may result in variations to the steps
described.

See the page numbers references in the follow­ing steps for detailed procedures.

Step 1. (Page 12) Construct the appliance
framing. Position the appliance within the
framing and secure with nailing brackets. Bend
up the appropriate header spacing guides for
the drywall/finish material thickness to be used
(refer to Figure 62, page 35). Bend up the
outer pair for 1/2" materials and the inner pair
for 5/8" materials. Bend out the appropriate
nailing flanges for the drywall/finish material
to be used. Nailing flanges are provided for
flush framing, 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch framing
depths (see Figure 12).

Step 2. (Page 15) Route gas supply line to
appliance location.

Step 4. (Page 16) Install the vent system and
exterior termination.

Step 5. (Page 28) Field Wiring

a. Millivolt Appliances – Install the operating

control switch (not factory provided) and bring
in electrical service line for forced air-circulating
blower (optional equipment).
b. Electronic Appliances – Field wire and install
operating control switch.

Step 6. (Page 29) Install blower kit (optional
equipment).

Step 7. (Page 29) Make connection to gas
supply.

Step 8. (Page 30) Verifying appliance operation.

Step 9. (Page 31) Install the logs, decorative

volcanic stone and glowing embers.

Step 10. (Page 35) Install glass door assembly.

Step 11. (Page 35) Adjust burner to ensure

proper flame appearance.

Step 12. (Page 37) Install front face assembly
with barrier. Install the hoods.

Step 13. (Page 38) Attach Safety in Operation
Warnings.

Before proceeding it may be helpful to remove
the log set form the firebox and remove the
embers and volcanic stone from the control
compartment. Refer to the following steps:

1. Remove the front face assembly, hood
and glass enclosure panel (see Removing and
Installing Glass Enclosure Panels on Page 35).

Step 1. FRAMING

Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figures
13 and 14 on Pages 13 and 14. All framing

details must allow for a minimum clearance
to combustible framing members as shown
in Table 5 on Page 8.

If the appliance is to be elevated above floor level,
a solid continuous platform must be constructed
below the appliance.

Headers may be in direct contact with the appli­ance top spacers when they are bent up vertically
maintaining the 3" clearance to the fireplace top,
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.

The fireplace should be secured to the side
framing members using the unit's nailing
flanges - one top and bottom on each side of
the fireplace front. See Figure 12. Use 8d nails
or their equivalent.

Step 3. Preparing the appliance vent collar
(Page 15).

12

2. Remove log set box from firebox. Next,

remove embers and volcanic stone from con­trol compartment. Handle logs carefully to

prevent breakage.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line to the left side
of the appliance as shown in Figure 15. 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 inch shutoff valve. (See

Step 6 on Page 29).

Also see Figures 13 and 14.

Figure 15 - 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/CSA-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.

Notes:

• All appliances are factory-equipped with
a flexible gas line connector and 1/2 inch
shutoff valve (see Figure 50 on Page 31).

• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page
4 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 6 (Page 29).

• 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. PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
VENT COLLAR

WARNING

Failure to reinstall and securely
tighten vent seal cap screws
could result in leakage of flue
products into the living space.
Vent seal cap must remain
securely installed on unused
vent collar. Failure to do so
could result in leakage of flue
products into living space.

REMOVE VENT SEAL CAP
(From the vent that will be used only)

Top Vent Installations - See Figure 16
Side Vent Installations - See Figure 17

Preparing the Appliance Vent Collar

Each of the appliances' two vent collars are
sealed with a seal cap which must be removed
from the vent collar being used. In top vent
installation the cover plate shall be removed
from the inside. Refer to Figure 16 for top
vent installations and Figure 17 for side vent
installations and the following steps to prepare
the appropriate collar for use.

From the vent collar being used, remove the
two screws securing the vent seal cap. Twist
the cap counterclockwise. Pull it away from
the appliance and discard, along with the piece
of insulation.

Step 4. 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/CSA-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.

Use only approved venting components. See Approved Vent
Components on Page 4.

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.

Installation of Vent Restrictor

A vent restrictor may be needed with this appliance. The restrictor is
installed in the appliance top flue outlet as shown in Figure 16, either
before adding vent, from above, or after installation of vent from below,
within the firebox. The restrictor is self securing through a positive
friction fit.

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)

See Figure 19 and Figures 29 through 34 on
Pages 20, 21 and 22 and their associated

Vertical Vent Tables which 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/CSA-B149.1 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 5 on Page 8).

Vertical (Straight) Installation

(Figure 19)

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 (see Tables on this page and
Page 39 - Rigid Vent Sections). 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.

Vertical (Offset) Installation

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 15 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
Effective Vent Length Chart on page 17 for an
aid in selecting length combinations. Elbows are
available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer
to Figure 24 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, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267mm x 267mm)
inside dimensions, about this center mark
(Figure 20 ).

B. Attach vent components to appliance

- Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system compo-

nents are unitized concentric pipe components
featuring positive twist lock connections (see
Figures 21 and 22 ).

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 attach a vent component to the appliance
collar, align the dimpled end over the collar,
adjusting the radial alignment until the four
locking dimples are aligned with the inlet of
the four inclined channels on the collar (refer to
Figure 21). 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. The unitized
design of the Secure Vent components will
engage and seal both the inner and outer pipe
without the need for sealant or screws. If desired
a #6 x 1/2" screw may be used at the joint, but
it is not required as the pipe will securely lock
when twisted.

Note: An elbow may also be attached to the
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner
as you would a vent section.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

C. Attach vent components to each other

- Other vent sections may be added to the

previously installed section in accordance with
the requirements of the vertical vent figures
and tables. 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 22.

D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When

using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer
at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use
SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. 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.
Attic insulation shield (96K94) may be used
to obtain the required clearances indicated
here. See installation accessories tables on
pages 39 and 40.

F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined
run - At transition from or to a horizontal/in-

clined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90
elbows in the same manner as the straight vent
sections. The elbows feature a twist section to
allow them to be routed about the center axis
of their initial collar section to align with the
required direction of the next vent run element.

Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction
only so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking
any of the previously connected vent sections.

See Figure 24.

E. Support the vertical vent run sections -

Note - Proper venting support is very important.
The weight of the vent must not be supported
by the fireplace 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.
Loop the tape around the vent, securing the
ends of the tape to the framing. If desired,
sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2" length may be
used to secure the support straps to the vent
pipe. See Figure 23.

H. Frame roof opening - Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart and Figure 25.

I. Install the roof flashing - Extend the vent
sections through the roof structure. Install the
roof flashing over the vent section and posi­tion such that the vent column rises vertically
(use carpenters level) (Figure 26 ). Nail along
perimeter to secure flashing or adjust roofing
to overlap the flashing edges at top and sides
only and trim where necessary. Seal the top
and both sides of the flashing with waterproof
caulking.

Figure 27

K. Install the vertical termination - The final
step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections
to the height as shown in the "Vertical vent ter­mination section" on page 6. The SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination (Figure 28 ) installs in the
exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent
section. Align the termination over the end of
the previously installed section, adjusting the
radial alignment until the four locking dimples
of the termination are aligned with the inlets of
the four incline channels of the last vent section.
Push the termination down until it fully engages,
then twist the termination clockwise running the
dimples down and along the incline channels
until they seat at the end of the channels.

Figure 24

G. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections - Continue with the installation of the

straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run
as described in Step C. Install support straps
every 5' (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent
runs using conventional plumber’s tape. It is

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

meter) of horizontal vent. Use a carpenter’s
level to measure from a constant surface and
adjust the support straps as necessary.

It is important to maintain the required clear­ances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the top,
1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at the
bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

Figure 26

J. Install the storm collar - Install the storm
collar, supplied with the flashing, over the
vent/flashing joint. See Figure 27. Loosen the
storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it
meets the top of the flashing. Tighten the adjust­ing screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or
mastic around the circumference of the joint
to provide a water tight seal.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

Figure 28

If the vent system extends more than 5' (1.5
m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be
necessary. Additional screws may be used at
section joints for added stability. Guide wires
may be attached to the joint for additional sup­port on multiple joint configurations.

VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES

Note: Secure Vent (rigid vent pipe) is shown
in the figures; Secure Flex (flexible vent pipe)
may also be used.

Note: 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.

Note: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure
Flex) firestop/spacer must be used anytime vent
pipe passes through a combustible floor or ceil­ing. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure
Flex)firestop/spacer must be used anytime vent
pipe passes through a combustible wall.

Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in
place of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise
to run ratios, as shown in the venting figures
for 90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degree
elbows are used.

Note: An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of
vertical rise, except where an elbow is the
only vertical component in the system. (See
Figure 38 on page 24 ).
