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.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
fl exible gas line connector and 1/2 inch shutoff
valve (see Figure 47 on Page 27).
• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page 3 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 27).
• 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 47). 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
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, Page 2.
• These fi replaces must be vented directly to the outside.
The vent system must 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 enclosure (such as a chase). There is
no requirement for inspection openings in the enclosure at any of the
joints in the vent pipe.
REMOVE VENT SEAL CAP
(From the vent that will be used only)
Top Vent - See Figure 15 and Side Vent - See Figure 16
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. Refer to Figure 15
for top vent installations and Figure 16 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.
WARNING
The VENT SEAL CAP must remain securely installed
on unused vent collar. Failure to do so could result in
leakage of fl ue products into living space.
INSTALLING VENT RESTRICTOR
(Top Vent Installations with Vertical Terminations Only)
A vent restrictor (provided) may be needed with this appliance. If needed,
install the vent restrictor (provided) in the appliance top fl ue outlet as
shown in Figure 17 when vertically terminating the vent system above
the roof. It may be installed either from inside or outside the appliance,
in the inner fi replace collar. It is press-fi tted in place.

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)
See Figure 18 and Figures 27 to 31 and their
associated Vertical Vent Tables illustrate the
vertical venting confi gurations that are allowed
to be used with these appliances. Secure Vent
pipe applications are shown in these fi gures;
Secure Flex pipe may also be used. See Page
24. 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. In the USA, the minimum
vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls
is specifi ed in ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition); in
Canada, by the current CAN-1 B149 installation
code. It is also specifi ed in 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 4 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 46-1/2" (1181 mm) net section lengths
are available (see Table 10 and Page 31 - Item
3). Plan the vent lengths so that a section joint
does not occur within the space defi ned by
ceiling joists or roof rafters. Refer to the Vent
Section Length Chart.

Analyze the vent routing and determine the
number of vent sections and elbows required.
Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and Tables on Pages 17 and 18 to select the type of vertical
installation desired. Refer to the Vent Section Length Charts on Page 14 for an aid in se-
lecting vent length combinations. Elbows are
available in 45° and 90° confi gurations. Refer
to Figure 23 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" (267 mm x 267
mm) 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 engage and seal until arrow and

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 it 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 o n Pages 31 and 32.
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 replace in any degree.
Support the vertical portion of the venting
system every 8 feet (2.4 m) 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. See 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 possibility of unlocking
any of the previously connected vent sections.
See Figure 23.
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.

SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination (Figure 26)
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.

straight vent sections in horizontal / inclined run
as described in Step C. Install support straps
every 5 feet (1.52 m) along horizontal / inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Page 19, Figure 32. 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.

I. Install the roof fl ashing - Extend the vent
sections through the roof structure. Install the
roof fl ashing over the vent section and position
such that the vent column rises vertically (use
carpenters level - see Figure 25). Nail along
perimeter to secure fl ashing or adjust roofi ng
to overlap the fl ashing edges at top and sides
only and trim where necessary. Seal the top
and both sides of the fl ashing with waterproof
caulking.
J. Install the storm collar - Install the storm
collar, supplied with the fl ashing, over the vent /
fl ashing joint. See Figure 25. Loosen the 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.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Figure 26
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.

Figure 32 -TYPICAL HORIZONTAL VENT INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL)
TERMINATION SYSTEM
See Figure 32, and Figures 35 to 40 and
their associated Horizontal Vent Table which
illustrates the horizontal venting confi gurations that are allowed to be used with these
appliances. Secure Vent pipe applications are
shown in these fi gures; Secure Flex pipe may
also be used (see Page 24). 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 6 on Page 8 for location guidelines.
Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system components are unitized concentric pipe components
featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer to Figure 20 on Page 15). 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.
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 section joint does not occur
within the space defi ned by ceiling joists, roof
rafters or wall studs. Make allowances for elbows
as indicated in Figure 23 on Page 16.

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
Figures 13 & 14 on Pages 11 & 12.
Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 12 1/8"
(267 mm x 308 mm) 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 20 on 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.
E. Attach vent components to each other
- Other vent sections may be added to the
previously 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. Attic insulation shield
(96K94) may be used to obtain the required
clearances indicated here. See installation
accessories Tables on Pages 31 and 32.
G. Support the vertical run sections -
See Step 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 possibility of unlocking any of
the previously connected vent sections. See
Figure 20 on Page 15.
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 32.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.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

Page 20
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.
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 end of the last section is
within 5 in. (127 mm) to 9-1/4 in. (235 mm)
inboard of the exterior surface to which the
SV4.5HT-2 termination is to be attached, see
Figure 34. If the end of the last section is not
within this distance, use the telescopic vent sec-tion SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wall
thicknesses greater than that shown in Figure 34, refer to Table 11 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 (SV4.5RCH - provided with the termination) to the vent section or telescoping vent
section), elbow or appliance collar as shown
in Figures 33 & 34 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 33, and nail into place. The Firestop / Spacer
may also be installed over the opening at the
interior side of the 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 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 34.
IMPORTANT
The vent termination is hot while
in operation and for a period of
time following the use of the fi replace. To prevent contact with hot
surfaces, we recommend the use
of a Termination Guard. See Items
12 and 13 on Page 31. This can be
purchased at your local dealer.

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
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
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 vent-
ing 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 6. CONNECTING GAS LINE
Make gas line connections. All codes require a
shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 47 illustrates two methods for connecting the
as 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 47 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 47 & 48). 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.
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
(FACTORY AND FIELD):
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.
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using
a gas leak test solution.
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.

Step 7. CHECK APPLIANCE OPERATION
With the gas line installed, run initial system
checkout before closing up the front of the
appliance. Follow the pilot lighting instructions
provided in the Homeowner's Care and Operation Instructions. For piezo igniter location see
Figure 48 (millivolt appliances only).
Note: The (pull-out) Lighting instructions label
can be found in the control compartment
(see Figure 48).
When fi 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 lightings
of the appliance will not require such purging.
Inspect the pilot fl ame.
Millivolt Appliance Checkout
The pilot fl ame should be steady, not lifting
or fl 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" min (tip) of the
quick drop out thermocouple should be engulfed
in the pilot fl ame. The fl ame should project 1"
(25 mm) beyond the hood at all three ports
(Figure 50).
To light the burner; rotate the gas valve control knob
counterclockwise to the “ON” position then turn
“ON” the OFF/ON switch (installed at Step 4).
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.

LOG & VOLCANIC STONE INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE:
WARNING
If logs are not installed according
to the log installation instructions, fl ame impingement and
improper combustion could
occur and result in soot and/or
excessive production of carbon
monoxide (CO), a colorless,
odorless, toxic gas.
The log set foam package is located in the fi rebox
and the bags of decorative volcanic stone and
the glowing embers (rockwool) are located in
the control compartment. Refer to the following
information and Figures 52 and 54 for detailed
placement instructions.
Install the decorative volcanic stone and
glowing embers (rockwool):
Spread the decorative volcanic stone on the
simulated brick fl oor of the fi rebox around
the burners to simulate ashes. Maintain a 1/2
inch (13 mm) gap between the bottom of the
horizontal grate section and the top of the pile
of decorative volcanic stone. Place a few dimesized pieces of the glowing ember material
on the pan burner in front of the burned out
area on both sides of the log set. The glowing
embers may touch one another, but should not
overlap each other.
Install the unitized log set:
a. The bottom of the log set is notched to ac-
commodate the pilot.
b. Place the log set so that the four inner notches
on the underside of the log set fi t over the
four risers located on the burner ends. See
Figure 52. This procedure is accomplished
primarily by feel, as the log set masks the
burner risers as it is being installed.
c. As a fi nal check for correct log set placement,
check that the four outer notches on the
underside of the log set fi t over the burner
tines as indicated in Figure 52.

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.
Installing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 55)
1. Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the
glass panel. The gasket surface must be clean,
free of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
2. Position the glass enclosure panel in front of
the fi rebox opening at a 45 degree angle and
engage the top fl ange over the lip at the top
of the fi rebox opening. See Figure 55.
3. Swing the glass enclosure panel down and
back. Ensure the gasket seats evenly as the
panel draws shut. Engage the Vee-fl ange at
the bottom of the panel with the latches and
close the latches to secure the panel.
4. Reinstall top louver assembly and control
compartment door see installation instructions
on Page 27, Reinstalling Control Compart-
ment Door).
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.
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.
29
Page 30
• 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.

Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure
1. Locate adjustment rod and adjust air shutter
to the standard setting as shown in Figure
56 (adjustment rod is located in the lower
control area).
Note: Rotating the adjustment rod coun-
terclockwise decreases air and clockwise
increases air.
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 52). If
the following conditions are present, adjust
accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust
the air shutter, incrementally, to a more
open position until the proper fl ame
appearance is achieved.
• If fl ame stays lowered blue, adjust the
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 ap-
pearance is normal, close the lower control
compartment door then proceed to fi nish
the installation.
