EXAMPLE 3EXAMPLE 2
EXAMPLE 1
A B-type venting system must be connected to the appliance for
venting to the outside of the building.
The following section is provided as a guide to a standard B-type
vent installation.
Standing codes requirements concerning B-type vent installations
may vary within your state, province or local codes jurisdiction. Therefore, it is recommended that you check with your local building codes
for specific requirements or in absence of local codes, follow Section
7.0 of the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
This gas appliance must be vented to the outdoors only and may not
be terminated into an attic space or into a chimney flue servicing a
solid fuel burning appliance.
This appliance may be vented through a manufactured chimney
system or a masonry chimney using a B-vent adapter or a chimney
liner system if all are listed, inspected and approved by local codes
and/or building authorities.
The examples shown in Figure 10, are typical of most B-vent installations and codes practices. A minimum of 3 feet vertical rise (off the
top of the unit) before offset is recommended.
Example 1: Shows the minimum allowable system height and lateral
offset for a 60° or greater inclination. Code specifies that offsets at
60° or greater are considered horizontal and must follow the 75%
rule for lateral to total vertical system height. Codes also allow only
one offset in the total system when at 60° or greater. The total vertical
height in this example represents the minimum height of 8 feet and
therefore the allowable lateral is 6 feet when the 75% rule applies. If
the lateral length must exceed 75% then the system must be sized
in accordance with Category I venting tables.
Example 2: Shows a multiple offset each at 45° of inclination. Multiple offsets are permitted if they do not exceed 45° of inclination.
The total lengths of the two offsets are not required to meet the 75%
allowable rule.
Example 3: Shows a single offset at 45° of inclination and therefore
the lateral length at 10 feet of offset does not have to meet the 75%
rule.
In each case the offsets must be supported and firestops must be
positioned wherever the vent must pass through a sub-floor, ceiling
joist or an attic overhang. The vent pipe must terminate vertically
into a listed type vent cap and extend a sufficient height through an
approved roof flashing, roof jack or a roof thimble (38FST recommended). At all points listed clearances must be maintained.
Vent terminations must be located in accordance with height and
proximity rules of NFPA No. 54. These rules apply to vents at 12"
diameter or less and require a minimum height in accordance with
the roof pitch and a minimum of 8 ft. distance from a vertical wall or
obstruction (see Figure 11, page 9).

Some codes areas allow the use of existing B-type vent systems if
the system is at or above the recommended diameter of the flue, in
this case 6".
The flue connection must be made using listed B-type connectors
and the existing system must be code inspected for damage and
proper installation.
It is not recommended that this appliance be common vented with
an existing gas burning appliance.
Note: Before connecting this appliance to an existing vent system
consult with your local architect, planner or building official.
WARNING: This appliance must be properly connected to a system and must not be connected to a
chimney flue servicing a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking electrical, gas and vent connections,
follow the lighting instructions and allow main burner to run for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted match or cigarette near the top
edge of fireplace opening and play it along entire length of opening
(see Figure 12). Proper venting should tend to draw the flame or
smoke into the appliance. Improper venting or escaping of spillage of
burned gas, is indicated when the match flickers or goes out. Smoke
from a cigarette will also tend to disperse away from the appliance.
If appliance is found to be improperly venting, shut it off and notify
your installer or a qualified service agency to inspect the venting
system.
NOTICE: This appliance is equipped with a vent safety
shutoff switch which will shut down the appliance in
the case of a venting problem. Do not bypass the vent
safety switch. If the appliance should shut down, contact a qualified installer, service agency or your gas
supplier to have the vent inspected before operating.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Note: Before troubleshooting the system, make sure the gas shutoff valve is ON. The two most common causes of a malfunctioning gas
appliance are:
1. Loose wiring connections
2. Construction debris clogging pilot and/or gas control valve filter
OBSERVED PROBLEM
Pilot will not light
Pilot will not stay lit
No gas to burner, although wall switch and valve
are set to the ON position
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. No gas supply or shutoff valve is OFF
2. Air in gas line
3. Construction debris clogging pilot orifice
4. Low gas pressure
5. Control valve knob is not on the PILOT position
6. Kinked pilot line
7. Bad valve
8. Vent damper not fully open
1. Loose wiring on thermopile to regulator valve.
No millivolt current is being sent back to
regulator
2. If valve knob and wall switch are in the ON
position, probable defective regulator valve
3. Vent damper not fully open
1. Wall switch wires defective or too long
2. Thermopile not generating sufficient voltage
REMEDY
1. Check to see if you have gas supply
2. Hold regulator control valve in the PILOT
position for 2 to 3 minutes to purge air. If
you smell gas stop and wait for a few minutes
before trying to light fireplace
3. Remove debris and dirt, inspect and clean any
other possible obstructions
4. Contact your gas supplier
5. Refer to section on pilot lighting
6. Have a qualified technician replace pilot line
7. Replace regulator valve (see Accessories, page
26)
8. Open vent damper until fully locked in OPEN
position
1. Check wiring connections. Refer to wiring
diagram shown in Wall Switch Installation,
page 10
2. Have a qualified technician replace valve
3. Open vent damper until fully locked in OPEN
position
1. Check electrical connections
2. See Pilot will not stay lit, above
Frequent pilot outage
Pilot goes out when wall switch is ON
Spark ignitor will not light pilot after repeated
triggering of red button
1. Pilot flame may be too low, causing safety
pilot to “drop out”
2. Improper venting or excessive blockage
1. Millivolt output on thermopile too high
1. Defective ignitor (no spark at electrode)
2. Defective pilot or misaligned electrode at pilot
(spark at electrode)
3. No gas or low gas pressure
4. If using propane/LP gas, no propane/LP gas
in tank
1. Clean and adjust pilot flame for maximum
flame impingement on thermopile
2. Have vent system inspected, including
termination cap. Remove any restriction or
obstruction
1. Replace thermopile
1. Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no
spark and electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor
2. Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn
off pilot and trigger the red button again.
If pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture
caused the improper lighting and a longer
purge period is recommended. If pilot will
not light, check gap at electrode and pilot.
Gap should be 1/8" to have a strong spark. If
okay, replace pilot
3. A) Check remote shut off valves from
fireplace. Usually there is a valve near the
fireplace and sometimes there is a valve near
the main. There can be more than one valve
between fireplace and main
B) Low pressure can be caused by a variety of
situations such as bent line, or gas supplier
4. Check propane/LP supply and contact local
propane/LP supplier
Fireplace produces a clicking/ticking noise just
after burner is lit or shut off
1. Metal expanding while heating or contracting
while cooling
SuperiorFireplaces.US.com126736-01C20
1. This is normal with most fireplaces. If noise
is excessive, contact qualified service person
