Page 17: Heat Release
Heat Release A heat release is an opening in the fireplace chase that allows the heat inside the chase to passively circulate into an interior room. This heat is generated convectively as the fireplace heats up. It is separate from exhaust heat produced at the combustion chamber of the fireplace. - Page 18 Vertical Heat Release: Split Front Vertical Heat Release: Full Side The heat release is oriented vertically and split between the two The heat release is oriented vertically.

Page 19: Air Intake
Air Intake When installing a fireplace with a double glass heat barrier, it is essential to maintain cool air flow between the double glass panels. For this purpose, an opening must be provided toward the bottom of the wall to allow the double glass fans to circulate room air through the glass panels and up into the chase. - Page 20 Air Intake for a Platform NOTE: Please refer to the “Platform” section for details on platform construction.

Page 21: Mounting A Tv/Artwork
The decision to install a television above an Ortal fireplace is up to the discretion of the owner. TV and art manufacturers may specify that their product should not be installed on, near or above a heat source. Ortal will not be held liable for any adverse effects on a TV, artwork or other equipment located near the Ortal fireplace. -
Page 22: Chase Area Minimum
Recessed TV/Artwork Chase Area Minimum To ensure the convective heat within the chase passively moves to the heat release at an optimal rate, all parts of the interior of the chase must be minimum 124 sq. in. in size at any given point. To determine if your chase meets this requirement, use the following equation at the narrowest part of the chase. -

Page 26: Finishing
Finishing The following diagrams show various finish applications. Diagrams apply to both combustible and non-combustible finish material.

Page 27: Recessed Installation
Recessed Installation Diagram applies to both combustible and non-combustible finish material. The finish must maintain at least ” clearance to the fireplace to both the top and bottom recesses. No material is permitted to extend past the metal lip surrounding the fireplace viewing area. This area must be unobstructed to allow the heat barrier and inside glass panel to be removable. -
Page 28: Venting

Page 29: Vent Clearances
Offset Maximum Up to 180˚ of offset (elbows) can be used in the vent configuration. If the vent configuration exceeds this maximum, consider an Ortal Power Vent System, which can allow for up to 540˚ of offset. See the Ortal Power Vent Manual for details. -
Page 30: Vent Configuration Diagrams
The following sections provide information for calculating vent configuration distances. For vent configurations that exceed these maximums, consider Ortal’s Power Vent System. See the Ortal Power Vent Manual for details. NOTE: It is not required to maintain ¼” of rise per foot of venting. -
Page 31: Vent Restrictor Sizing Guidelines
Vent Restrictor Sizing Guidelines The information in this section will help you calculate the correct restrictor selection for your vent configuration. The table below show the restrictor required for a specific rise to run vent configuration. Any venting pathway that does not appear in the tables requires approval from the manufacturer. - Page 32 SCENARIO A The vent configuration has two vertical 45˚offsets. No additional length for the (H) calculation for the restrictor plate size is needed. For example: Total height of duct work = 6 feet (V) Length between the center of the two 45˚ elbows = (B) = 3 feet The (H) calculation is (H) = (B) so the restrictor plate size is 50mm, per the table.
