SUPERIOR® B-VENT GAS FIREPLACES • MODELS SLBV-35, SLBV-40 • INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 oor on which appliance rests, if oor is above

ground level. Gas line holes and other openings

should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced berglass insulation. Check local codes for

additional requirements.

If the replace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised, insulated platform can be placed

underneath to prevent cold transfer to the ﬁreplace and into the room. It also may help to sheetrock the inside surfaces and/or tape for maximum air tightness.

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.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of trafﬁc and away from furniture and draperies (Figure 3).

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 (Figure 3).

The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning

ducting.

These appliances are equipped with an integral combustion air door and actuator arm.

Combustion air kits are optional and must be installed before removing the securing screw allowing the movement of the combustion air actuator arm (see Step 5 on Page 14).

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

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.

These appliances may be used for bedroom installations in the United States and are listed accordingly. These units may not be installed in bedrooms in Canada.

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS

Step 1. Construct Appliance Framing

Frame the appliance as illustrated in Figures 8-1 and 8-2. All framing details must allow for

a minimum clearance to combustible framing members as shown in Table 6, Page 7.

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

Headers may be in direct contact with the appli-

ance top standoff spacers when they are bent up vertically, maintaining the 3" clearance to the replace 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.

Secure the ﬁreplace to the side framing mem-

bers using the unit's nailing anges — one top and bottom on each side of the replace front.

See Figure 7. Use 8d nails or equivalent.

Step 2. Route the Gas Line

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line to either side

of the appliance (left side routing is shown in Figure 9 ). Gas lines must be routed, con-

structed, and made of materials that are in strict

accordance with local codes and regulations. All appliances are factory-equipped with a ﬂex-

ible gas line connector and 1/2-inch shutoff

valve. (See Step 6 on Page 15.)

NOTE: Gas line can be routed to either side. Reverse this illustration if routing to right side.

Also see Figures 8-1 and 8-2.

Figure 9: 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. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations.

IMPORTANT: It is critical that a licensed installer perform this step strictly per NFPA.

We recommend that a qualified, licensed plumber or gas tter 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.

Note:

• All appliances are factory-equipped with a exible gas line connector and 1/2 inch

shutoff valve (see Figure 17 on Page 15).

• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page 4 for additional requirements for installa-

tions in the state of Massachusetts in the

USA.

• The gas supply line should NOT be con-

nected to the appliance until Step 6 on Page

15).

• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be used on the threaded joints. Ensure that

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 ofcial for local code requirements (e.g., whether below-

grade penetrations of the gas line are al-

lowed, etc.).

IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that if the 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 pressure loss 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 Venting System and Exterior Termination

These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supercede local codes in any way.

Install venting according to local codes, these instructions, the current National Fuel Gas Code in the USA (ANSI-Z223.1) or the current standards in Canada (CAN/CSA-B149.1).

SLBV-35 and SLBV-40 series ﬁreplaces must be vertically vented using listed type-B, double-walled vent pipe with the proper diameter (as listed below) and a listed vent termination.

Required Pipe Diameter

SLBV-35 series: Requires 4 in. (102 mm) SLBV-40 series: Requires 5 in. (127 mm)

Step 5. [OPTIONAL] Install Outside Combustion Air Kit

An optional outside combustion air kit (model FOAK-4, FOAK-4LD, or DK-4) may be used with these appliances (see "Installation Accessories," at right).

Refer to the instructions included with the air kits for speciﬁc installation information.

If used, the outside air kit must be installed before the replace is framed and enclosed in

the ﬁnished wall.

Outside air drawn into the ﬁreplace supplies

supplemental combustion air to the re. Only one outside air duct is necessary, if installed.

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 one continuous piece.

Note: When installing the air duct vertically, do NOT terminate the duct closer than 3' below

the chimney top.

Outside supplemental combustion air ducting may be run upward 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 down-

ward through ﬂoor joists and under the home to a ventilated crawlspace not considered part of the living area of the home.

Note: NEVER terminate an outside supplemental combustion air kit in attic space under any circumstances.

Failure to do so may result in extensive and costly rework. Before the operation of the vent

system can be tested, the lever securing screw must be removed. See Figure 15.

The hand-operated outside air control lever is located on the left side of the lower control compartment opening. See Figure 15.

To open the outside air shutter, open the bottom control access panel, reach into the control compartment, and pull the outside air control lever

all the way out. The outside air shutter should

be fully open when the replace is in use and completely closed when the replace is not being

used. Closing it when not in use will help limit the amount of outside cold air 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.

Securing Screw Installed

Outside Air Control Lever pushed UP (Air Shutter CLOSED)

IMPORTANT: Do NOT move Air Control Lever if securing screw is installed (or if not sure it was removed).

INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES

The following accessory items are available for

use in the installation of this appliance.

Outside Combustion Air Kits Models FOAK-4 and FOAK-4LD

Outside combustion air kits are available with duct (FOAK-4) and without duct (FOAK-4LD) for use if supplemental outside combustion air is required or desired. If model FOAK-4LD is used, it must be used in conjunction with locally purchased, non-combustible Class 1 or Class 0 exible duct.

Step 6. Connect the Gas Line

All codes require a shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. The orientation of the shutoff valve should face the front. Figure 16 illustrates two methods for connecting the gas supply. A sediment trap is recommended in the gas piping within the home to prevent moisture

and debris in the line from damaging the valve. The ex-line method is acceptable in the U.S.A.

where local codes permit, however, Canadian

requirements vary depending on locality. Instal-

lation must be in compliance with local codes.

These appliances are equipped with a gas ﬂexline for use in connecting the unit to the gas line. See Figure 16 for ﬂex-line description. The

ex-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.

Access the valve compartment by removing the

lower control compartment panel (see Figure

17) by lifting and pulling the panel forward.

The panel is mounted on supporting tabs at

the extreme right and left hand sides. Engage

the tabs into the reliefs in the panel.

The millivolt and electronic 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). It is recommended to seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage.

Gas line connection may be performed largely

outside of the conﬁnes of the control compart-

ment and without having to enter the rebox behind the glass. Proceed as follows:

Acquire the shut-off valve and gas ﬂex-line and pull the assembly forward out of the compartment. Separate the shut-off valve from the gas

ex-line. Determine the length of pipe needed

to route the gas line from the last ﬁtting (shown in Figure 9) to a point within the control compartment that will allow the shut-off valve to

be easily attached by hand to the gas ex-line.

Using pipe-dressing materials appropriate for

the gas type, securely afx the shut-off valve

to this determined pipe length at a convenient location outside of the appliance lower control compartment.

Refer to Figure 18. Insert the last length of gas pipe with its attached shut-off valve into the

lower control compartment, and pass it through

the gas line access hole on the left side of the appliance outer wrapper.

Using appropriate materials for the gas type,

thread the last length of pipe into the end of the gas vent run and tighten in place using a

pipe wrench external to the appliance between the appliance outer wrapper and the framing.

Important: Turn the last piece of gas pipe in the last ﬁtting until the shut-off valve is positioned in a way that allows the shut-off valve handle to be accessed in the lower control compartment, easily operated throughout its full range of motion.

Bring the ex-line to the shutoff valve by hand

and align the ﬂare ﬁttings. Tighten the ﬁttings

by hand, and then use wrench to tighten completely, 1/4-turn at a time.

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.

A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting

instructions label in the control compartment

or in the Care 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.

Step 7. Verify Appliance Operation

Turn on burner then observe the individual tongues of ame on the burner. Make sure

all ports are open and producing ﬂame evenly

across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out the ports.

With gas line installed run initial system check-

out before closing up the front of the unit. Follow

the pilot lighting instructions provided in the Care and Operation Instructions manual. For piezo igniter location, see Figure 17 (millivolt appliances only).

Note: Lighting Instructions are also found on the literature tag tied to the gas piping next to the gas valve. To access the tag, open the lower control compartment door by pulling the panel forward (see Figures 17 and 25).

When rst 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 lighting of the appliance will

not require such purging. Inspect the pilot ﬂame

(remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).

Millivolt Appliance Checkout

The pilot ame should be steady, not lifting or oating. Flame should be blue in color with

traces of orange at the outer edge.

The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator (thermopile) and the top 1/8" minimum (tip) of the quick drop out thermocouple should be

engulfed in the pilot ﬂame.

The ame should project 1" (25 mm) beyond

the hood at all three ports (see Figure 19). Replace logs if removed for pilot inspection.

To light the burner; turn “ON” the remote wall switch and rotate the gas valve control knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position (“ON” will be at the top side of the valve).

5. Install the Logs.

The logs have locating notches or slots to help ensure that they are properly positioned.

The top logs that rest on lower logs, do so over notches, indents or nubs. Proper log

placement is critical to prevent sooting.

Logs should be placed in the gaps between the ame peaks and should be positioned so

they do not impinge the ﬂames. Follow the log placement instructions exactly.

SLBV-35: Install logs as shown in Figure 23. SLBV-40: Install logs as shown in Figure 24.

WARNING

• DO NOT attempt to install the logs until the appliance installation has been completed, the gas line connected and tested for leaks and the initial burner operation has been checked out.

• The size and position of the log set was engineered to give the appliance a safe, reliable and attractive ﬂame pattern. Any attempt to use a different log set in the ﬁreplace will void the warranty and will result in incomplete combustion, sooting, and poor ﬂame quality.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

• Logs get very hot and will remain hot up to one hour after gas supply is turned off. Handle only when logs are cool. Turn off all electricity to the appliance before you install grate, volcanic stone, embers, and logs.

• This appliance is not designed to burn wood. Any attempt to do so could cause irreparable damage to the appliance and prove hazardous to your safety.

• If logs are not installed according to the log installation instructions, ﬂame impingement and improper combustion could occur and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.

Step 10. Burner Air Shutter Adjustments

(QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY)

Flame Appearance and Sooting

Proper ﬂame appearance is a ﬂame which is

blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange in the body of the ame. When the appliance is rst lit, the entire ame may be blue and will

gradually turn yellowish-orange during the ﬁrst 15 minutes of operation. After 15 minutes of

operation, if the ame is blue, or if the ame is orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.

If the air shutter opening is closed too far, 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 ames and lack of combustion air enter-

ing the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm

yellowish-orange ame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted between these two extremes.

Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines

• If there is smoke or soot present, rst check

the log set positioning to ensure that the ﬂames are not impinging on any of the logs. If the log set is properly positioned and a

sooting condition still exists, then the air shutter opening should be increased.

• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger the air shutter opening will need to be.

• An appliance operated with the air shutter opened too far, may have ames that appear blue and transparent. These weak, blue and

transparent ﬂames are termed anemic.

• Propane models may exhibit ames which

candle or appear stringy. If this is present and

persists, adjust the air shutter to a more open position, then operate the appliance for a few

more minutes to ensure that the ﬂame normalizes and the ﬂames do not appear sooty.

The following chart is provided to aid you in achieving the correct air shutter adjustment for your installation.

Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure

WARNING

• Air shutter adjustment should only be performed by a qualiﬁed professional service technician.

• Ensure front glass panel are in place and sealed during adjustment.

CAUTION

• Soot will be produced if the air shutter is closed too much. Any damage due to sooting resulting from improperly setting the air shutter is not covered under the warranty.

• The air shutter door and nearby appliance surfaces are hot. Exercise caution to avoid injury while adjusting ﬂame appearance.

1. Locate adjustment rod and adjust air shutter to the standard set-

ting as shown in Figure 26 (adjustment rod is located in the lower control compartment).

Note: Move the adjustment rod DOWN to decrease air and UP to increase air.

2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure on lighting label in con-

trol compartment or see the Care and Operation manual).

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 minutes while observing

the ﬂame continuously to ensure that the proper ﬂame appearance has

been achieved (see Figure 27 and 28). If the following conditions are present, adjust accordingly:

• If ame appears weak or sooty, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a more open position until the proper ame appearance is

achieved.

• If ame stays lowered blue, adjust the air shutter, incrementally,

to a more closed position until the proper ﬂame appearance is achieved.

4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the ON position and the burner OFF/ON switch OFF (and remote switches, if applicable).

5. When satised that the burner ame appearance is normal, re-

install the lower control compartment door then proceed to ﬁnish the installation.
