VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES

These instructions should be used as a guide-
line 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.

Terminate multiple vent terminations accord-
ing to the installation codes listed at the top of
this page.
Horizontal Vent Termination Clearances
The horizontal vent termination must have a
minimum of 3" (76 mm) clearance to any
overhead combustible projection of 2
mm) or less. See Figure 5. For projections
exceeding 2
" (64 mm), see Figure 5 . For
additional vent location restrictions refer to
Figure 7 on page 6 .

TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

The typical sequence of installation follows,
however, each installation is unique resulting
in variations to those described.
See the page numbers references in the follow-
ing steps for detailed procedures.
Step 1. (page 5) Construct the appliance
framing. Position the appliance within the
framing and secure with nailing brackets.

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS

The appliance is shipped with all gas controls
" (64
and components installed and pre-wired. Re-
move the shipping carton, exposing the front
glass door. Remove the top panel. Remove
the cardboard from underneath the pressure
relief plates. Gently depress the outer top
corners of the access panel until the catches
"pop" the panel free, allowing it to swing out and
down to open. Open the two latches (located
under the firebox floor) securing the glass
door. Remove the door by tilting it outward at
the bottom and lifting it up. Set the door aside
protecting it from inadvertent damage. See
Figure 50 on page 21. Remove the two card-
board pad strips from between the firebox
subfloor and the firebox sides.

Step 1. FRAMING

Frame these appliances as illustrated in Fig-
ures 8 on page 7, unless the appliance is to be
installed in a corner . See Figure 9 on page 7
for corner framing installations. All framing
details must allow for a minimum clearance to
combustible framing members as shown in
Table 2 on page 4 .
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor level,
a solid continuous platform must be constructed.
Headers may be in direct contact with the appli-
ance top spacers but must not be supported by
them or notched to fit around them. All construc-
tion above the appliance must be self supporting,
DO NOT use the appliance for structural support.
The fireplace should be secured to the side framing
members using the unit's nailing flanges - one top
and bottom on each side of the fireplace front. See
Figure 6. Use 8d nails or their equivalent.

To The Framing

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a " (13 mm) gas line along the inside of
the right side framing as shown in Figure 7 .
Gas lines must be routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance
with local codes and regulations.
All appliances are factory-equipped with a flex-
ible gas line connector and
valve. (See step 6 on page 20).
