  • Page 7: User Information

    USER INFORMATION WARMTH AND BEAUTY - HOW IT WORKS The Element4 fireplaces are direct vent fireplaces and, as such, the intake and exhaust are both handled through the vent pipe. The fireplace also provides convection air to your room. The illustration shows one of the unique features of the Element4 fireplaces - its use of warm, convection air flow.

Never use galvanized or plastic pipe unless it is rated for use with gas.
  • Page 18: Venting

    VENTING CONFIGURATION CONFIGURING THE VENTING The fireplaces in this manual are direct vent fireplaces that use a co-axial or “pipe within a pipe” venting system. The outer “pipe” or vent conducts fresh, outside air into the fireplace and the inner vent carries the exhaust outside. This system, which can run either horizontally through a side wall or vertically through the roof, produces an efficient system because conditioned building air is not used for combustion.

CALCULATING THE TOTAL HORIZONTAL SECTION (THS) Calculate the Total Horizontal Section by adding up all horizontal sections in your specific vent design.
  • Page 20 VENTING CONFIGURATION BEWARE OF ELBOWS Elbows create resistance to the movement of air through your venting configuration and they must be included when determining your minimum and maximum vent lengths. There must be a minimum vertical rise of 20” (508 before any elbow.

  • Page 25: Building The Enclosure

    ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE BUILDING THE ENCLOSURE/FRAMING A safe installation of your Element4 fireplace requires that three things be clearly understood. 1. Most important, these fireplaces are NOT zero-clearance fireplaces. Unlike zero-clearance fireplaces, there is not an outer metal box around the Element4 fireplaces which increases the framing dimensions. 2.

    ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE ALL MODELS The finished wall(s) must be at least 1/2”/12 thick or the fireplace trim will extend beyond the finished wall. The list below shows the thickness of the approved wall products. Your choice of wall material depends largely on the intended finish. For example, a thinner wall product and a layer of stone may be thick enough to reach the trim edge.
  • Page 30 ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE CONVECTION AIR OPENING A convection air outlet is always required. The opening size of the convection air outlet varies by fireplace model. The CLEARANCES section shows the minimum total area required for the various models in this manual. The convection air outlet may take many forms and must always allow the free flow of warm air up through the chase and out into the room in which the fireplace is installed.
  • Page 31 ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE DO NOT ALLOW THE FIREPLACE TO BEAR ANY WEIGHT Dimensions A, B, and C must be equal throughout the installation. Any support framing (NON-combustible framing ONLY) must be at least 2” away from any part of the fireplace. The entire weight of the non- combustible walls must be borne by a structure other than the fireplace.
  • Page 32: Cold Climate Installation

    ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE COLD CLIMATE INSULATION For cold climate installations, it is especially important to insulate outside the chase cavity, between studs and under the floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be filled with approved firestop. If the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or a raised platform can be placed underneath to prevent cold transferring to the fireplace and into the room.
