COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
pp
)
pp
)
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around the 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
fl oor on which the appliance rests, if fl oor is
above ground level. Gas line holes and other
openings should be caulked or stuffed with
unfaced fi berglass insulation. If the fi replace
is being installed on a cement slab, in cold
climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised
platform can be placed underneath to prevent
conducting cold up into the room. It also helps to
sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum
air tightness and caulk fi restops.
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. Consideration should be given
to traffi c ways, furniture, draperies, etc., due
to elevated surface temperatures (Figure 4 ).
The location should also be free of electrical,
plumbing or other heating/air conditioning
ducting.

To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface
use the alternate rear vent outlet with attached
venting routed in a way to minimize obstructions
to the use of the space above the appliance. Do
not insulate the space between the appliance
and the area above it. See Figure 9. The mini-
mum 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 the Table in Figure 9.
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.

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 B149 - latest
edition (Canada).
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to
Table 9 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 qualifi ed individual such as a plumber or gas fi 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 unqualifi ed should attempt sizing or installing gas piping.

• 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 (see Figure 46). Appliances using
Propane should have a sediment trap at the
base of the tank.
• Check with local building offi cial 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 insuffi cient 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 THE VENT SYSTEM
General Information
These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any
way. Install vent according to local codes,
these instructions, the current National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the
current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 and
-B149.2 in Canada.
Use only approved venting components. See
Approved Vent Components on Page 2.
These fi replaces must be vented directly
to the outside.
The vent system may not service multiple
appliances, and must never be connected to a
fl ue serving a solid fuel burning appliance. The
vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosing
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,
install vent restrictor (provided) in the appliance top
fl ue outlet as shown in Figure 16 (SSDVT-3530
and SSDVT-4035) or rear fl ue outlet as shown in
Figure 17 (SSDVR-3530 and SSDVR-4035). It is
held in place by friction, only.
Vent Restrictor Installation
(Top Vent)
A vent restrictor may be needed when vertically terminating the vent system above the
roof (when using the appliance top vent),
install vent restrictor in the top vent of the
fi replace outlet on SSDVT-3530/4035 series
models. If needed, install the restrictor orientated as shown, either from inside or outside
the unit,in the inner fi replace collar.
Restrictor
VENT RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION
A vent restrictor may be needed when horzontally terminating the vent system from the rear
of the appliance (when using the appliance rear
vent), install vent restrictor in the rear vent of
the fi replace outlet on SSDVR-3530/4035 series
models, in any installation that has a vertical
vent run in excess of three feet (0.914 meters).
If needed, install the restrictor orientated as
shown, either from inside or outside the unit, in
the inner fi replace collar

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)
Figure 21 (Page 15), and Figures 26 to
30 (Pages 17 and 18) and their associated
Vertical Vent Tables illustrate the various vertical venting confi gurations 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 specifi ed in ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition) (In Canada,
the current CAN-1 B149 installation code) by
major building codes. Always consult your local codes for specifi c requirements. A general
guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to
Figure 5 on Page 7).
Vertical (Straight) Installation
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 461/2" (1181 mm) net section lengths are available
(see Table 11 and Page 33 - Item 3). 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.

Analyze the vent routing and determine the
quantities of vent sections and number of elbows
required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and Tables on Pages 17 and 18 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
Vent Section Length Chart on Page 14 for an
aid in selecting length combinations. Elbows are
available in 90° and 45° confi gurations. Refer
to Figure 22 on Page 16 for the SV4.5E45 and
SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifi cations.
Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer
with an option in installing in tight and confi ned
spaces or where the vent run made up of fi xed
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 fi tted 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 19 ).

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 Figure 20).
All of the appliances covered in this document
are fi tted with collars having locking inclined
channels. The dimpled end of the vent components fi t over the appliance collar to create
the positive twist lock connection.
Align the dimple (four places) of the
upper vent section with the opening
of the locking incline channel on the
lower vent section or appliance collar. Twist vent component clockwise

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 20). 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 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.
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 20.
D. Install fi restop/spacer at ceiling - When
using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF fi restop/spacer
at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use
SF4.5VF fi restop/spacer. If there is living space
above the ceiling level, the fi restop/spacer
must be installed on the bottom side of the
ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the
fi restop/spacer must be installed on the top side
of the joist. Route the vent sections through the
framed opening and secure the fi restop/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, Pages
32 through 34.
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 fi rplace in any degree.
Support the vertical portion of the venting
system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fi replace
vent outlet.

One method of support is by utilizing fi eld 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. Refer to Figure 21.
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.

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 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Page 19, Figure 31. 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 fi replace 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. Use a carpenter’s
level to measure from a constant surface and
adjust the support straps as necessary.

storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it
meets the top of the fl ashing. Tighten the adjusting screw. Apply non-combustible caulking
or mastic around the circumference of the joint
to provide a water tight seal.

K. Install the vertical termination - The fi nal
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 7. The SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination (Figure 25) can be installed
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 are seated at the
end of the channels.
Figure 25
If the vent system extends more than 5 feet (1.5
m) above the roof fl ashing, 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 confi gurations.
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.
H.Frame roof opening - Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart and Figure 23.

WARNING
Under no circumstances, may separate sections of concentric fl exible
vent pipe be joined together.
Notes:
• 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
fi replace 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.
• SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure
Flex) fi restop/spacer must be used anytime
vent pipe passes through a combustible
fl oor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent),
SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)fi restop/spacer must
be used anytime vent pipe passes through
a combustible wall.
• 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.
• AN ELBOW IS ACCEPTABLE AS 1 FOOT OF

Figure 31, and Figures 34 to 40 on Pages
21 to 23 and their associated Horizontal Vent
Table illustrate the various horizontal venting
confi gurations 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 Horizontal 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 of these horizontal vent systems terminate
through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or
prohibit terminating in specifi c areas. Refer to
Figure 7 on Page 8 for location guidelines.
Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system compo-
nents are unitized concentric pipe components
featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer to Figure 20on Page 15). All of the appli-
ances covered in this document are fi tted with
collars having locking inclined channels. The
dimpled end of the vent components fi t over
the appliance collar to create the positive twist
lock connection.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
A.Plan the vent run -
Analyze the vent routing and determine the
types and quantities of 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.
Plan the vent lengths so that a joint does not
occur at the intersection of ceiling or roof joists.
Make allowances for elbows as indicated in
Figure 22.
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance to
combustibles on the vertical sections. Clearances for the horizontal runs are; 3" (76 mm)
on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides, and 1" (25 mm)
at the bottom.

B. Frame exterior wall opening -
Locate the center of the vent outlet on
the exterior wall according to the dimensions shown in Figure 14 on Page 11. Cut
and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 12-1/8"
(267 mm x 308mm) inside dimensions, about
this center.
C.Frame ceiling opening - If the vertical route
is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line to locate
the center above the appliance. Cut and/or frame
an opening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267 mm x 267
mm) inside dimensions, about this center (refer
to Figure 19 on Page 15).
D.Attach vent components to appliance - 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 inlets of the four
incline channels on the collar (refer to Figure 20on Page 15).
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 elements with the same
procedure. Sealant and securing screws are
not required.
Note: An elbow may also be attached to the
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner
as you would a vent section.
E. Attach vent components to each other
- Other vent sections may be added to the pre-
viously installed section in accordance with the
requirements of the vent tables. To add another
vent component to a length of vent run, align the
dimpled end of the component 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 20 on Page 15.
F. Install fi restop/spacer at ceiling -
When using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF fi restop/
spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex,
use SF4.5VF fi restop/spacer.
If there is living space above the ceiling level,
the fi restop/ spacer must be installed on the
bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is
above the ceiling, the fi restop/ spacer must be
installed on the top side of the joist. Route the
vent sections through the framed opening and
secure the fi restop/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.
G. Support the vertical run sections See Section E on Page 15.
H. Change vent direction - At transition from or
to a horizontal/inclined 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 22 on Page 16.
I. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections - Continue with the installation of the
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run
as described in Step E. Install support straps
every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Figure 31.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 fi replace 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.
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.
19
J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall - If not
previously measured, locate the center of the
vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as
described in Step B. Assemble the vent system
to point where the terminus of the last section is
located relative to the exterior surface to which
the termination is to be attached (see Figures 32 & 33 and Table 12 on Page 21.
If the terminus of the last section is not within
this distance, use the telescopic vent section SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wall thicknesses greater than that shown in Figure 33 on Page 20 andTable 12 on Page 21. This table
lists the additional venting components needed
(in addition to the termination and adapter) for
a particular range of wall thicknesses.
K.Attach termination adapter - Attach the
adapter (adapter - SV4.5RCH - provided with the
termination) to the vent section or telescoping
vent section, elbow or appliance collar as shown
in Figures 32 & 33 in the same manner as any
SV4.5 vent component (refer to Step E).
L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall
- When using the square termination, install
SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)
Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior
side of the framing, long side up, with the 3 inch
spacer clearance at the top as shown in Figure 32, and nail into place.
(The Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over
the opening at the interior side of framing).
M. Install the Square Termination (SV4.5HT-2)
Install the square termination - For the last step
, from outside the exterior wall, slide the collars
of the termination onto the adapter (the outer
inside the outer and the inner outside the inner)
until the termination seats against the exterior
wall surface to which it will be attached. Orient
the housing of the termination with the arrow
pointed upwards. Secure the termination to
the exterior wall. The horizontal termination
must not be recessed into the exterior wall
or siding by more than the 1-1/4" (32 mm) as
shown in Figure 33.
To help minimize water infiltration it is
recommended that the Firestop/Spacer
(SV4.5HF) be installed on the exterior
side of the wall.

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination where water from eaves and adjoining roofl ines may create a heavy fl ow of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of
cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away
from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including
the use of silicone caulking where required.

VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL VENTING USING
SECURE FLEX KITS AND COMPONENTS
Secure Flex venting kits and components
may be used in any venting application in
place of rigid Secure Vent (SV4.5) direct vent
components. All restrictions, clearances and
allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply
to the fl exible venting. Secure Flex kits may
not be modifi ed; also, under no circumstances
may separate sections of fl ex pipe be joined
together.
Using adapter (SV4.5RF), Secure Flex kits
may be added to the end of a vent run made
up of rigid Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent sections
provided that doing so does not violate any of
the venting length, height, routing, horizontal
to vertical ratio requirements or clearance
considerations detailed in this manual.
Secure Flex kits come with an adapter that
can be fi tted to the inclined channel end of the
last Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent section in a rigid
system in the exact same fashion as any other
Secure Vent section.
Align the dimpled end of the adapter over
the previously installed section or appliance
collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the
four locking dimples of the adapter are aligned
with the inlets of the four incline channels of
the last vent section or collar. Push on the
adapter until it fully engages, then twist the
adapter clockwise running the dimples down
and along the incline channels until they seat
at the end of the channels.
Attach the fl exible vent to the adapter as follows (see also Figure 41):
A. Install the Inner Flex Pipe -
1. Install the small gear clamp loosely around
the inner fl exible vent pipe, push it back out
of the way.
2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700° F) high
temperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81
to the inner adapter collar, approximately
1/2 inch from the end.
3. Pull and extend the inner fl exible vent pipe.
4. Slide the inner fl ex pipe over the adapter col-
lar. Ensure the fl exible vent pipe completely
engages the adapter collar to a distance of 1
3/4 inches from the end, and that it is free
from damage or tears.
5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it
fully to secure the fl exible vent to the adapter
inner collar approximately 3/4 inch from the
end of the fl ex.
6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart through
the fl exible vent pipe and into the adapter collar
just below the gear clamp to provide additional
security to the connection.
Note: Outer Pipe Is Pulled Away To Show
The Detail of The Inner Pipe
APPLY ONLY MIL-PAC BLACK
HIGH TEMPERATURE SEALANT
(Cat. No. 10K81) to the outside
surface of both collars of the
adapter (be especially careful to
fi ll the grooves of the outer collar
to be covered by the fl exible pipe)
and slide fl exible pipe over inner
and outer adapter collars.

B. Install the Outer Flex Pipe -
1. Install the large gear clamp loosely around
the outer fl exible vent pipe, push it back out
of the way.
2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700° F) high
temperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81)
to the outer adapter collar; to the grooves
of the collar which extend approximately 1
inch from the end and to the fl at surface,
approximately 1 3/8 inches from the end.
3. Pull and extend outer fl exible vent pipe.
4. Slide the outer fl ex pipe over the adapter col-
lar. Ensure the fl exible vent pipe completely
engages the adapter collar to a distance of
1³⁄₄ inches from the end, and that it is free
from damage or tears.
5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it
fully to secure the fl exible vent to the adapter
outer collar approximately 3/4 inch from the
end of the fl ex.
6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart
through the fl exible vent pipe and into the
adapter collar just below the gear clamp to
provide additional security to the connection.
C. Route Flex Vent -
Ensure that the fl ex vent is properly routed to
provide the required clearance. Do not allow the
fl exible vent to bend in a radius tighter than 5"
(127 mm). Refer to Figure 42. Space out the
internal fl ex vent spacers evenly - approximately
every 6 inches - and avoid kinking of inner pipe.
Support horizontal sections of fl ex with metal
straps at 2 foot (0.61 m) intervals.
D. Install Firestop / Spacers at ceilings and walls
- When Secure Flex penetrates a wall or ceiling,
a fi restop / spacer is required: use the SF4.5 VF
fi restop / spacer for ceilings and the SF4.5 HF
fi restop / spacer for walls. See the appropriate
sections and Figures shown throughout the venting section for their installation requirements.

E. Attach Flex Vent to Termination -
Secure Flex components can be purchased separately and attached to bulk lengths of Secure Flex fl exible tubing cut to size at the job
site. Secure the fl exible vent to the Secure Flex
terminations in the same manner (see Figure
41) as it was attached to the adapter.
Note: Secure Flex vent must be attached to Secure Flex terminations only. DO NOT substitute
Secure Vent terminations or the Secure Vent
adapter for Secure Flex components. The collars
of Secure Flex terminations and adapters have a
different diameter than that used with the Secure
Vent pipe. Additionally, Secure Flex components
have an extended length center tube for use in
attaching the fl exible vent.

Step 4. FIELD WIRING
PT
*
Refer to Section A for millivolt appliances and
Section B for electronic appliances. The gas
valve is set in place and pre-wired at the factory
on both models.
CAUTION
Ensure that wires are positioned
away from hot surfaces and sharp
edges.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous appliance operation.
CAUTION
Do not connect the optional wall
switch for burner operation to a
120 Volt AC power supply.
A. SIT and Honeywell Millivolt Wiring
(See Figure 43) –
1. Select any of the following optional controls:
appliance-mounted (rocker switch) or wallmounted switch, wall thermostat, or the
standard or deluxe remote control kits. If appliance-mounted ON/OFF control is selected
mount it in the gas valve mounting bracket.
2. If wall-mounted ON/OFF control or ther-
mostat is selected mount it in a convenient
location on a wall near the fi replace.
3. Wire the control within the millivolt control
circuit using the 15 feet of 2 conductor wire
supplied with the unit . Caution: do not
connect the optional wall switch to a 120V
power supply.
4. Alternatively, the appliance may be operated
without the use of the controls indicated in
Step 1, solely by manipulating the gas valve
control knob. In order to use this method,
twist the free ends of the two conductor wire
(which would otherwise go to the standard
ON/OFF switch or Optional Switch) together
as shown in Figure 43.
Note: Wire is located inside the control
compartment
Note: The supplied 15 feet of 2 conductor wire
has one end of each conductor connected to
the gas valve circuit and the other end of each

Notes:
1. If any of the original wire as supplied
must be replaced, use Type AWM 105°C
- 18 gage wire ONLY.
2. 120 VAC, 60 Hz - Less than 3 Amps.
Caution: label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation.
Ground supply lead must be connected to the wire attached to the green
ground screw located on the outlet box. See Figure 47. Failure to do so
will result in a potential safety hazard. The appliance must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition. (In Canada, the
current CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical Code).
Make gas line connections. All codes require a
shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 46 illustrates two methods for connecting the
gas supply. The fl ex-line method is acceptable
in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements
vary depending on locality. Installation must
be in compliance with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas fl ex
line for use (where permitted) in connecting
the appliance to the gas line. A gas fl ex line
is provided to aid in attaching the direct vent
appliance to the gas supply. The gas fl ex line
can only be used where local codes permit. See
Figure 46 for fl ex line description. The fl ex line
is rated for both natural gas and propane gas.
A manual shut off valve is also provided with
the fl ex line.
The incoming gas line should be piped into
the valve compartment and connected (see
Figures 46 & 47). The millivolt control
valve has a 3/8" (10 mm) NPT thread
inlet port. The electronic control valve
has a 1/2" (13 mm) NPT thread inlet port
and is fi tted with a 1/2" x 3/8" (13 mm x
10 mm) NPT fi tting.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications).
Optional: Seal around the gas line to prevent
cold air leakage.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
(FACTORY AND FIELD):
WARNING
Never use an open fl ame 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
(50% dish soap, 50% water) is an effective leak
test solution but it is not recommended, because
the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fi ttings
can result in corrosion over time.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in control compartment or
homeowner's 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,
D. Turn on burner then observe the individual
tongues of fl ame on the burner. Make sure
all ports are open and producing fl ame evenly
across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or
partially blocked, clean out the ports.

Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, fi rst check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
fl ames 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 fl ames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent fl ames are termed anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit fl ames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more
closed position, then operate the appliance
for a few more minutes to ensure that the
fl ame normalizes and the fl ames do not
appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment for
your installation.
Handle this glass with extreme
care! Tempered glass is susceptible to damage – do not scratch
or handle roughly while reinstalling the glass door frame.
WARNING
The glass door of this appliance must only be replaced as
a complete unit as provided by
the manufacturer. Do not attempt
to replace broken, cracked or
chipped glass separately.
WARNING
Do not attempt to touch the front
enclosure glass with your hands
while the fi replace is in use.
Removing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 55)
1. Remove the top louver assembly by lifting it
up and pulling it out.
2. Remove the control compartment access
door (see removal instructions on Page 27
- Removing Control Compartment Door).
3. Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the
control compartment. To disengage the two
latches from the bottom vee-fl ange of the
glass enclosure panel, reach for the handles
located towards the back of the latches and
pull the handles down toward the front of
the appliance.
4. Swing the bottom of the door out and raise
it slightly to lift the top fl ange of the door
frame away from the appliance.

Step 10. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and sooting
Proper fl ame appearance is a fl ame which is
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange
in the body of the fl ame. When the appliance
is fi rst lit, the entire fl ame may be blue and will
gradually turn yellowish-orange during the fi rst
15 minutes of operation. If after a short period
the fl ame stays lowered blue, or if the fl ame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter openings closed too far, sooting
may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs
developing at the tips of very long orange fl ames.
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
fl ames and lack of combustion air entering the
air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellowish-orange fl ame with an orange body that does
not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted
between these two extremes.

Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure
CAUTION
The air shutter door and nearby appliance surfaces are
hot. Exercise caution to avoid injury while adjusting
fl ame appearance.
Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure
1. Locate adjustment rod and adjust air shutter to the standard setting
as shown in Figure 57 (adjustment rod is located in the lower control
compartment).
Note: Move the adjustment rod down to decreases air and up to
increases.
2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure on lighting label in control
compartment or see homeowners manual).
3. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 minutes while observing
the fl ame continuously to ensure that the proper fl ame appearance
has been achieved (see Figure 56). If the following conditions are
present, adjust accordingly.
• If fl ame appears weak or sooty, adjust air shutter, incrementally, to a
more open position until the proper fl ame appearance is achieved.
• If fl ame stays lowered blue, adjust air shutter, incrementally, to a more
closed position until the proper fl ame appearance is achieved.
4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the ON position and the burner
OFF/ON switch OFF (& remote switches, if applicable).
5. When satisfi ed that the burner fl ame appearance is normal, re-install the
lower control compartment door then proceed to fi nish the installation.

Gas conversion kits are available to adapt the
appliance from the use of one type of gas to
the use of another. These kits contain all the
necessary components needed to complete the
task including labeling that must be affi xed to
ensure safe operation.
Kit part numbers are listed here and the following
steps detail the conversion procedure.
Step 1. Turn off the gas supply to the appliance.
Remove the front glass door/frame from the
appliance. Access the control compartment.
Step 2. Carefully remove the logs. Exercise care
so as not to break the logs.
Step 3. Locate the screws securing the burner
assembly to the appliance. Remove the burner
assembly and retain the securing screws.
Step 4. Millivolt Appliances - SIT Systems
a. See Figure 59 and the instructions
provided with the kit. Using a Torx T20,
tool or or standard fl at screwdriverremove
and discard the three pressure regulator
mounting screws. Remove the pressure
regulator, spring, poppet, diaphragm and
bushing. Discard all removed components.
Ensure the rubber gasket installed on the
back of the replacement pressure regulator
is properly positioned and install the new
pressure regulator using the new screws
supplied with the kit. Tighten screws to 25
In. lb. torque.

pressure reads 3.5 inches water column
(0.87 kPa) for natural gas, and 10.0
inches water column (2.49 kPa) for propane gas.
c. Convert the pilot orifi ce as follows (see
Figures 62 & 63):
Note - Use extra care not to engage the
orifi ce strip with the 7/16" open end wrench
(contacting the orifi ce strip could cause strip
distortion rendering the pilot inoperative).
Also avoid wrench contact to any of the
other pilot parts.
Use a 7/16" open end wrench and turn the
pilot hex fi tting counter-clockwise 1/4 turn.
(See Figure 63).
Note - The orifi ce strip tab may be randomly
located on any side of the hex fi tting.
d. Push the orifi ce strip tab all the way
against the hex fi tting to align the appropriate gas type orifi ce (see Figures 62 & 63).
The type of gas for which the pilot is set,
is, the gas type shown on the tab.
e. Retighten, clockwise, the pilot hex
fi tting until the pilot hood aligns with the
thermocouple and thermopile as indicated
by the arrows shown in Figure 63.
