INSTALLATION STEPS
Built-In Systems
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FANS TO
BLOW DIRECTLY INTO THE FIREPLACE.
AVOID ANY DRAFTS THAT ALTER
BURNER FLAME PATTERNS.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A BLOWER IN-
SERT, HEAT EXCHANGER INSERT OR
OTHER ACCESSORY NOT APPROVED
FOR USE WITH THIS HEATER.
Do not burn solid fuels in this listed unvented
gas room heater.
Step 1. Frame VF5000 appliance enclosures
as illustrated in Figures 4, 5 and 6 . Frame
VF6000 appliance enclousures as illustrated
in Figures 7, 8 and 9 for surround installations
proceed to Step 8.
Note: The framed depth (15-1/2" for a flat wall,
29-1/4" for a corner VF5000 and 22-5/8" and
36-3/8" for a VF6000 ) must always be mea-
sured from a finished surface. If a wall covering
such as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall,
then the dimension must be measured from the
drywall surface.
Step 2. Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the
left or right side framing ( Figure 10 ).
Figure 10
All appliances have a 3" long 3/8" NPT nipple
installed at the valve. To quickly and easily
complete the gas line routing, use the gas flex
line kit, Model GFLV.
