Certifications and Codes Lyric direct vent gas fireplaces have been tested and approved by CSA Group for safety and efficiency for use with either Natural Gas (NG) or Propane (LP), and NOT for use with solid fuels. Certification Code (U.S. & Canada): ANSI Z21.88/CSA 2.33 –...
Product List: Built-In Lyric Models and Burners This manual applies to the Lyric models mentioned in the following table. This table also lists basic burner and vent pipe specifications for each Lyric model. Burner Sizes: Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters Series Burner Models Vent Pipe Size...
Surrounding material is not allowed to transfer weight to the fireplace or be connected in any way to the fireplace, with the exception of 5/8 Type X drywall (or its equivalent) in a flush installation. It may be fastened to the frame with 1" self-tapping drywall screws 16'' on center, with a minimum of 2 ½” from the metal lip.
Vertical Heat Release Designs If your design cannot accommodate a horizontal heat release, a vertical heat release is acceptable. Because heat rises, it will take longer for the heat to dissipate out of a vertically oriented heat release. To compensate, a vertical heat release must be 30% larger than a horizontal heat release. Series 40-110: Minimum 160 sq.
Page 13
Split Side Vertical Heat Release Each half of the vertical heat release is put on each side of the fireplace cavity. Left Side Vertical Heat Release (Side Elevation) Right Side Vertical Heat Release (Side Elevation) Full Side Vertical Heat Release The entire heat release is put on just one side of the fireplace cavity.
Sprinkler Clearance to Heat Release In a situation where a sprinkler head is in close proximity to the heat release, the detail shown in the diagram below must be followed. The distance between the sprinkler head to the heat release opening cannot be less than 60 inches (linear length) from any point of the heat release opening.
To raise the fireplace, build a platform to which the fireplace can be secured. Platform must be stable and able to bear the full weight of the fireplace. Platform can be constructed out of plywood, concrete, metal or any other solid materials. Material does not have to be non-combustible. Securing the Fireplace The fireplace has four total nailing flanges attached to the upper and lower sides of the front of the fireplace body.
If an access panel cannot be incorporated, the alternative method of servicing the gas and electrical components would be though the fireplace. This procedure requires removing the screen heat barrier, internal glass panel, taking out the interior design media, and lifting the grill, burner and bottom pressure release valve.
Wood Framing 5/8” Type X Drywall is required on the interior (cladding the entire inner cavity/chase) and exterior of the wood framing. This provides heat protection for both the combustible framing and your finish material. Wood Framing Metal Framing 5/8” Type X Drywall is required on the exterior of the metal framing only.

Vertical Termination Clearance Diagrams NOTE: This chart does not apply to a chimney shroud application. See Chimney Shroud Detail on the next page for more information. Lyric Installation Manual: Built-in Models, April 2019...
Chimney Shroud Detail Keep a minimum 6-inch clearance around the vent termination to surrounding. This includes the bottom side of termination as well. If the top of the shroud is enclosed, keep a maximum of 10 inches clear from the top of the termination to the shroud ceiling.
Vent Maintenance Regular inspection of the venting system by a qualified service technician is recommended every six months. The following maintenance routing is recommended: 1. Inspect for excessive condensation, e.g., water droplets forming in the inner lining, and subsequently dripping from the joints. This can cause corrosion in the system. 2.
Cavity (Chase) Construction Notes Non-combustible Framing The wall behind a Lyric fireplace (either at the back or side of the fireplace) and the ceiling above the fireplace must be non‐combustible construction such as 5/8” Type X Drywall, concrete, brick, concrete masonry units, or plaster on metal framing and lath.
Working with Drywall Framing must be covered completely with non-combustible material (as specified in the diagrams below) and have the gaps sealed with a non-combustible fire sealant. We recommend using 5/8” Type X drywall (or equivalent) with a level 1 finish (or better), but any building material that is equivalent to 5/8” Type X Drywall in heat insulation (R-value and K-value).
