It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine. It is
not unusual for your CFM Corporation gas fireplace to
give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due
to the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated
-open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in
the “OFF” position during this time.

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the
current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes
having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
Gas Line Installation
When purging gas line the front glass
must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right
side of the appliance. Knockouts are provided at convenient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and
testing of any gas connection.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 1/2” rigid pipe or an approved
flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local
authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
For USA installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

FP297a
Fig. 6 Typical gas supply installation.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a spray
bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak
testing.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected
to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi.
Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas
appliance control from the gas line when
pressure 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.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron
pipe so that the gas line can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See the gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.
Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch for this gas
appliance into a 120v power supply.
1. Thread wire through the electrical knockout located
on either side of the unit. Take care not to cut the
wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the wire is
secured and protected from possible damage. Run
one end of the gas control valve and the other end to
the conveniently located wall switch.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install
switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to
switch.

Twist Lock Pipes
When using twist lock pipe it is not necessary to use
sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting
system that need to be sealed with high temperature
silicone sealant are the sliding joints of any telescopic
vent section used in the system.
To join twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads
of the male end with the grooves of the female end,
twisting the pipe until the flange on the female end
contacts external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet
metal screws, however, this is not mandatory with twist
lock pipe. (Fig. 18)
To make it easier to assembly the joints, we suggest
putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end
of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.

How to Use the Vent Graph
The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the
relationship between the vertical and horizontal dimensions fo the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 19),
locate the point intersecting with the slanted graph
line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical
line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the
fireplace in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 11’
(3.4m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 14’ (4.3m).
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’
(2.1m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6m).

Rear Wall Vent Application
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be
vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall
behind the appliance.
• Only CFM Corporation venting components are
approved to be used in these applications (See
‘Venting Components’ listed for different installation
requirements).
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear
of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a
corner application) and the outside face of the rear
wall is 20” (508mm). (Fig. 20, 21)
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and combustible materials are as follows:
Top - 2” (51 mm)
Sides - 1” (25 mm)
Bottom - 1” (25 mm)

Rear Wall Vent Installation
Twist Lock Pipe
Step 1
Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall.
For combustible walls first frame in opening. (Fig. 22)
NOTE: When using flex vent, the opening will have to
be measured according to the 1” (25mm) rise in 24”
(610mm) vertical run.
Combustible Walls: Cut a 10³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈” W (265 mm
x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown. (Fig. 22)
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening should be 7¹⁄₂”
(191mm) diameter.
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for
combustible walls.
Step 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve
parts to proper length (Maximum 12” / 305 mm). Assemble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄₈” x 9³₈”)
and attach to firestop assembly. (Fig. 23)
Step 3
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the venting including a 2” (51 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow
to the outside wall face plus 2” (51 mm). (Fig. 21)

Step 4
Install the 4” (102 mm) vent to the appliance collar and
secure with 3 sheet metal screws. Install the 7” (178
mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and secure with 3
sheet metal screws. It is not necessary to seal this connection. If a 45° elbow is being used attach the elbow
to the appliance in the same manner then attach the
venting to the elbow.
It is critical that there is no downward
slope away from the appliance when connecting the vent or elbow.
Step 5
Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place
the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4”
(102 mm) and 7” (178 mm) collar of the vent termination into the outer ends of the venting. Do not force
the termination. If the vent pipes do not align with the
termination, remove and realign the venting at the appliance flue collars. (Fig. 24) Attach the termination to the
wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied with
the termination.

NOTE: There must be a 1/2” (13 mm) rise in a 12”
(305 mm) length of flex vent.
Step 4
Assemble the flex vent to the collars on the termination
as you did on the appliance.
FP1472
Fig. 26 There must be a 1/2” rise per foot length.
Vertical Sidewall Application
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 Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is one inch (25 mm) on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less
than 20” (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe
must flush up with the siding.
It is 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 (or the top of
the Transition Elbow) to the face of the outer wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this
portion of the vent assembly.
When installing the appliance as a rear
vent unit, the 90° or 45° Transition Elbow
attached directly to the rear of the unit is
NOT INCLUDED in the following criteria
and calculations, and unless specifically
mentioned should be ignored when calculating venting layouts.
• The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall
installation is three (3). (Fig. 27)
• If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace
flange the maximum horizontal vent run before the
termination or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm). (Fig.
28)

Fig. 27 Maximum three (3) 90° elbows per installation.
• If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run
(level height maintained) the horizontal vent length
is reduced by 36” (914 mm). (Fig. 29, 30) This does
not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or
redirect a vertical rise. (Fig. 27)
Example: According to the vent graph (Page 14) the
maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7¹⁄₂’
(2.3 m) rise is 20’ (6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in
the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5.2 m).

• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per
side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be
installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run,
the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by
18” (457 mm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows
are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system
