GAS LINE INSTALLATION
PILOT
ADJ
REMOTE SWITCH INSTALLATION
FOR RN/RP
When purging gas line the front glass must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right side, left side of the appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided at convenient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the right side, as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
1. Thread wire through the electrical knockout located on either side of fireplace.. Do not cut wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure that wire is protected. Run the other end to a conveniently located wall receptacle box.
2. Attach wire to switch and install switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to switch.
3. Connect wiring to gas valve. (Fig. 8/9)

REAR WALL INSTALLATIONS
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials in one (1") inch (25 mm) on sides and bottom and two (2") inch (50 mm) on top.
Non-Combustible Walls: Hole opening must be 7.5" (190mm) in diameter. To locate hole centre consult with appropriate fireplace specifications, page 4.
STEP 2
Measure wall thickness and cut adjustable zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (MAXIMUM 12"). Adjust sleeve to maximum (10-3/8 x 9-3/8) and attach to firestop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied). (Fig. 15) Install firestop assembly.
Fig. 15
STEP 3
Measure from fireplace collar face to face of outside wall (add 2" for vent pipe overlap). Mark pipes and cut to length. It is very important that the two pipes are flush with the outside wall once the fireplace is in its final location. Fig. 16.
STEP 4
Slip 4" and 7" pipes onto respective flue collars. Make sure to fix to the fireplace collar the 4" pipe with three (3) screws before fixing the 7" pipe on the 7" collar. Both pipes must be on a level plane. Fig. 17.

VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATIONS
Guide the vent termination 4" collar into the 4" pipe then the 7" collar into the 7" pipe. Do not force the venting into position. If the pipes do not line up with the termination collars, disassemble elbows or pipes and reattach to the fireplace collar. (Fig. 16)
STEP 6
Recheck the fireplace to make sure that it is levelled, properly positioned, and nailed or screwed to the floor.
If applied, the fireplace adjustable frame drywall strips (nailing flanges) should be fastened. See Framing and Finishing.
FINISHED WALL
VENT TERMINATION
(7DVRVT)
Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths allowable. Fig. 21.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is one (2") inch (25 mm) on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding. A 7DVSS must also be used.
It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of the outer wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion of the vent assembly.
Fig. 16
For some installations, it may be desirable to
have some amount of the horizontal vent run immediately after the fireplace. A vertical rise must be used but can be located any­where in the vent system, to meet the perim­eters identified in the venting graph.
The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 feet (6100mm) when the vertical vent rise is 7.5 feet (2286mm). Fig. 17
