GLASS CLEANING
It will be necessary to clean the glass
periodically. During start-up, condensation
forms on the inside of the glass and causes
dust, lint, etc. to cling to the glass surface.
This is normal. Also, initial paint curing can
deposit a slight film on the glass.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN IT IS
HOT.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON
GLASS OR DOOR.
IMPORTANT! THE VENT-AIR INTAKE
SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED TO INSURE PROPER AND

Since it is very important that the vent
system maintain its balance between the
combustion air intake and the flue gas
exhaust, certain limitation as to vent
configurations apply and must be strictly
adhered to.
• Max. vertical vent run is 40 ft.
• Max. horizontal vent run is 16 ft.
• A 1/4" rise per foot of horizontal run
must be maintained on all horizontal
runs.
• It is possible to configure a venting
system with 40 feet of vertical vent run
and 16 feet of horizontal vent run and
include up to (3) three elbows.
(See venting tables on page 9.)
IMPORTANT: It is always best to locate
the furnace in such a way that a minimum
of offsets and/or horizontal run is required.
INSTALLATION
(1) Twist-lock procedure: Four
indentations, located on the female
ends of pipes and fittings, are
designed to slide straight onto the
male ends of adjacent pipes and
fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
into the four entry slots on the male
ends. (Figure 12) Push the pipe
sections completely together, then
twist-lock one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn, until
the two sections are fully locked. The
female locking lugs will not be visible
from the outside, on the Black Pipe
or fittings. They may be located by
examining the inside of the female
ends.
(2) Horizontal runs of vent must be
supported every three feet. Wall
Straps are available for this purpose.

LOCKING
LUGS
STEP 4:
Position the horizontal vent termination in
the center of the 11 1/2" x 12" hole, and
attach to the exterior wall with the four wood
screws provided. Before attaching the V ent
T ermination to the exterior wall, run a bead
of non-hardening mastic around it's outside
edges, so as to make a seal between it and
the wall. The arro w on the vent cap should
be pointing up. Insure that proper
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained. (Figure 14)

SCREWS
PLANNING YOUR
INSTALLATION
When planning your installation, it will be
necessary to select the proper length of
vent pipe for your particular requirements.
To determine the length of vent pipe
required for vertical installations, measure
the distance from the appliance flue outlet
to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness, the
vertical rise in an attic or second story, and
allow for sufficient vent height above the
roofline. For two-story applications,
firestops are required at each floor level. If
an offset is needed in the attic, additional
pipe and elbows will be required.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
STEP 1:
Set the gas appliance in it's desired
location. Check to determine if wall studs
or roof rafters are in the way when the
venting system is attached. If this is the
case, you may want to adjust the location
of the appliance.
STEP 2:
Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections. To
connect the venting system to the
appliance flue outlet, we have supplied a
twist-lock appliance adaptor built into the
unit at the factory.
MALE
LOCKING
LUGS
Fig. 12
STEP 3:
With the adaptor and pipe attached to the
stove into it's correct location, and mark the
wall for a 11 1/2-inch x 12-inch square hole.
The center of the square hole should line
up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe,
as shown in Figure 13. Cut and frame the
square hole in the exterior wall where the
vent will be terminated. If the wall being
penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete, a 7-inch diameterhole
is acceptable.
(1) The horizontal run of vent must ha ve
a 1/4-inch rise for every 1 foot of run
towards the termination. Never allow the
vent to run downward. This could cause
high temperatures and may present the
possibility of a fire.
(2) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be easily blocked or obstructed.
Termination clearances are given on
page 7 & 8.
HOT
Fig. 13
NOTE:
(1) The four wood screws provided
should be replaced with appropriate
fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or
other types of sidings.
(2) For buildings with vinyl sidings, a
Vinyl Siding Standoff (Part 950), should
be installed between the vent cap and
the exterior wall. (Figure 14). Attach the
Vinyl Siding Standoff to the Horizontal
Vent Termination. The Vinyl Siding
Standoff prevents excessive heat from
possibly melting the vinyl siding material.

VERTICAL TERMINATION
STEP 1:
Set the gas appliance in it's desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the
ceiling to the position of the appliance flue
exit, and mark the location where the vent
will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole
at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from
the roof to the hole previously drilled in
the ceiling, and mark the spot where the
vent will penetrate the roof. Determine if
ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing
will obstruct the venting system. You may
wish to relocate the appliance, or to offset,
as shown in Figure 15, to avoid cutting
loadbearing members.
PLUMBER'S TAPE
CONNECTED TO
WALL STRAP
STEP 2:
T o install the round support box/wall thimble
in a flat ceiling, cut a 11 1/2" x 12" hole in
the ceiling, centered on the hole drilled in
Step 1. Frame the hole as shown in Figure
16.
STEP 3:
Assemble the desired lengths of Pipe and
Elbows necessary to reach from the
Appliance adaptor up through the Round
Support box. Insure that all Pipe and Elbow
connection are in their fully twist-licked
position.
STEP 4:
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drill hole placed in the roof in STEP 1. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles, as specified on page 8.
Continue to assemble lengths of Pipe and
Elbows necessary to reach from the Ceiling
Support Box up through the roof line. A
galvanized finish is desirable above the
roofline, due to it's higher corrosion
resistance.
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to
avoid obstructions, it is important to
support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to
avoid excessive stress on the Elbows,
and possible separation. W all Straps are
available for this purpose.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45 degrees
Elbows, instead of 90 degrees Elbows.
The 45 degrees Elbows offers less
restriction to the flow of flue gases and
intake air.
STEP 5:
Slip the flashing over the Pipe Section(s)
protruding through the roof. Secure the
base of the Flashing to the roof with roofing
nails. Insure the roofing material overlaps
the top edge of the Flashing as shown in
Figure 18. Verify that you ha ve at least the
minimum clearance to combustibles at the
roofline.

STEP 6:
Continue to add pipe sections until the
height of the Vent Cap meets the minimum
building code requirements described in
figure 18. Note that for steep roof pitches,
the vent height must be increased. In high
wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining
rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other
similar factors can result in poor draft, or
down-drafting. In these cases, increasing
the vent height may solve this problem.

STEP 7:
Twist lock the Vent Cap.
NOTE:
(1) For multistory vertical installations, a
Ceiling Firestop is required at the second
floor, and any subsequent floors. (Fig. 19)
The opening should be framed to 11-1/2inch x 12-inch inside dimensions, in the
same manner as shown in Figure 16, page
11.
(2) Any occupied areas above the first
floor, including closets and storage
spaces, which the vertical vent passes
through, must be enclosed. The enclosure
may be framed and sheetrocked with standard construction materials, see page 8
for minimum allowable clearance between
the outside of the vent pipe, and the combustible surfaces of the enclosure. Do not
fill any of the required air spaces with insulation.

GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
The number one cause of all operating
problems with gas appliances is
improper gas pressure!
Such problems as changes in flame
color or configuration, gas pilot or burner
outages, intermittent operation, changes in
heat output, excessive burner noise, etc.,
are nearly always the result of changes in
gas pressure or improper gas pressure at
the time of the installation.
The most important item to check
during the initial installation and the first
thing to check when operating problems
occur is gas pressure!
Gas supplies normally enter a typical
residence at 1/2 PSI (13"-15"W.C .) (3.KP A).
A regulator is then placed inside the
residence which drops this pressure to 7"
W.C. (1.8KPS) (Nat. Gas).
This "inches to inches" regulator is of
adequate capacity to service the gas
appliances such as water heater, dryer,
furnace, etc.
If this regulator's capacity is not
sufficient to add the Model 9660, an
additional "inches to inches: regulator must
be installed specifically for the fireplace.
EXCEPTION: some codes allow 2 PSI
(1.4KPA) supplies to enter the residence,
in which case "pounds to inches" regulators
are used.
The following table provides
information on correct gas pressure
requirements. Be sure your gas supplier
or plumber carefully follows this table
when installing your gas appliance.

MILLIVOLT SYSTEM CHECK
The millivolt system and individual
components may be checked with a
millivolt meter having a 0-1000 MV range.
Before checking the system, be certain the
wall thermostat lead wire does not exceed
the length recommended in the Wiring
Section Table, and all connections are
clean and tight.
Conduct each check shown in the
chart below by connecting meter test leads
to terminals as indicated. All readings are
closed circuit.
If the reading is more than 100 millivolts
and the automatic valve does not come on,
replace the valve operator. If the closed
circuit reading is less than 100 millivolts,
determine the cause by preceding with
steps "B" and "C".

C. TEST RESULTSB. TEST RESULTSA. TEST RESULTS
If "B" reading is less than 325 MV, clean
and tighten all electrical connections and
adjust pilot if necessary to increase millivolt
output. If unable to adjust to at least the
specified minimum, change the thermopile.
When proper thermopile output is obtained,
the magnet may then be checked. With
pilot in operation, allow meter reading to
stabilize. Extinguish pilot burner and note
meter reading at dropout point of magnet.
If magnet remains locked up to a reading
of 120 MV or less, the magnet is good.
If "C" reading is more than that specified
for the system being checked, clean and
tighten thermostat leads and connection,
shorten lead wires if possible or use heavier
gauge wire. Rapidly cycle thermostat to
clean contacts, or change the thermostat.
