Building Around the Fireplace Building Checklist The following building checklist is a quick reference for a typical 60HH series fireplace installation. This list is not exhaustive and does not supplement thorough review of the installation manual. Fireplace Location: Ensure the location allows for min. 40” clearance from viewing area to furniture and other combustibles.
Framing Framing Requirements Fireplace chase may be framed with either combustible (typically wood studs) or non-combustible framing (typically metal studs). Any framing within 10 ” from the top of the fireplace glass (viewing area) must be non-combustible. Any framing after that point may be combustible.
Framing Dimensions The following framing information applies to combustible and non-combustible framing material. The diagrams presented are for illustrative purposes only. There are multiple approved framing scenarios. A flush application is not the only permitted application. The fireplace may be recessed into the wall. Refer to diagrams and values below and in the following pages for details. 60HH Front (F) Series Fireplace Glass...
General Clearances Viewing Area Clearance Zone The viewing area clearance zone is an area that extends perpendicular from the fireplace viewing area. The depth of the viewing area clearance zone depends on the combustibility of the material in question. Distance is measured from the fireplace heat barrier. Non-Combustible Materials Must be minimum 12 inches from fireplace viewing area.
This heat is generated convectively as the fireplace heats up. It is separate from exhaust heat produced in the combustion chamber of the fireplace. For safety purposes, a heat release is required in order to keep the wall around the fireplace cool. Heat release requirements are the same for all 60HH series models. Heat Release Requirements The heat release must be located at or near the top of the fireplace chase and start within 6 inches (0-6 inches max) of the ...

Vertical Heat Release: Split Front Vertical Heat Release: Full Side The heat release is oriented vertically and split between the two sides of the The heat release is oriented vertically. Entire chase. heat release is on one side of the fireplace chase.
Air Intake Opening An air intake opening must be incorporated into the framing and finish around the fireplace. The air intake opening is essential to maintain cool air flow between the double glass panels by allowing the double glass fans to circulate room air through the glass panels and up into the chase.

Air Intake for a Platform NOTE: Please refer to the “Chase Floor/Platform” section on page 11 for details on platform construction.
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 21
Recessed TV/Artwork When the TV is mounted on a wall that recesses over fireplace, the TV must be at least 12 inches from the top of the fireplace glass viewing area. NOTE: Vent clearances must be maintained. See “Vent Clearances” section on page 31 for details.
Access Panel An access panel is not required (see note below for exception), but it is highly recommended. It allows for access to the fireplace’s gas and electrical components for servicing. NOTE: An access panel at the fireplace is required for fireplaces with a power vent to allow access to the power vent control box for servicing.
Recessed Ledge Detail A ledge over the top of a fireplace that is less than 24 inches from the top of the fireplace viewing area must maintain a minimum of 12 inches from the top of the viewing area to the top of the framing. Entire structure must be non-combustible (framing and finish).
The following drawing shows a recommended approach to this type of installation. Please note that these drawings are not to scale. All fireplace drawings with correct dimensions are available on the Ortal website.
Step-by-Step Chase Construction The following checklist is a simplified overview of typical chase construction for a 60HH series fireplace installation. This list is not exhaustive and does not supplement thorough review of the installation manual. Step 1 BUILD BACK AND SIDE WALLS Frame the back and side walls according to framing requirements.
Finishing The following diagrams show various finish applications. Diagrams apply to both combustible and non-combustible finish material. IMPORTANT NOTES: All recessed installations must comply with applicable maximum overhang limit and side wall clearances. See “Maximum Overhang/Mantel Depth” and “Clearance to a Side Wall” sections on page 15 for details. No material is permitted to extend past the metal lip surrounding the fireplace viewing area.
Recessed Installation Diagram applies to both combustible and non-combustible finish material. The finish must maintain at least a ” clearance to the fireplace to both the top and bottom recesses. Maximum Overhang Depth Overhang depth of a recessed fireplace must not exceed 12 inches. Overhang depth is measured from the edge of the fireplace lip to the out-most part of the wall (including finish material).
Review “Vent Configurations” section on page 29 to determine if your fireplace needs a power vent. ORTAL POWER VENT NOTE: See the Ortal Power Vent Manual for more details on power venting. ENERVEX POWER VENT NOTE: See Ortal’s Enervex RS Power Vent Manual for more details on power venting with an Enervex power vent.
The following sections provide information for calculating vent configuration distances and elbows. For vent configurations that cannot conform to these guidelines, consider Ortal’s Power Vent System, or contact Ortal for assistance. Power Vent information can be found in the Power Vent Installation Manual.

Gas conversion (NG to LP or LP to NG) can be done in the field. Gas conversion must only be performed by a technician who has specific authorization by Ortal to change these components. The conversion kit must be supplied by Ortal. Using parts from other manufacturers or having an unauthorized party perform the conversion will void your fireplace’s warranty.
Electrical WARNING: Disconnect the power supply before servicing any electrical components. Electrical Requirements A duplex receptacle with two outlets (not included) must be installed in the location where the gas and electrical components will be placed, which must be to the side or back of the fireplace within 36 inches of the pilot (see diagram in “Routing the Gas Line” section on page 38).
Wiring Diagrams The following diagrams show the electrical wiring required for different feature combinations.

Wiring Diagram: Double Glass Fireplace with Interior Lighting...
Interior Design Media Ortal offers interior media options such as stones, glass, logs, and embers that can be provided with the fireplace. This section provides guidelines for safe placement of media. It is crucial that the placement guidelines outlined below are followed as a large portion of flame quality issues are caused by improper media setup.
Media Placement Guidelines When installing media, adhere to the following general guidelines: Keep the media back from the pilot hood so at least one burner port is open. Crowding around the pilot hood may hinder lighting and could result in potential damage to the fireplace and surrounding area or personal injury. Do not use the hood to support media.
Log Media Placement Place the logs carefully to block as few ports as possible. If a log is placed over a port, block the port with a “coin” to keep the flame from creating soot on the media or to manipulate the look of the flame. Block as few ports as possible, and no more than 30% of total ports.
Operation WARNING – Read these instructions carefully before lighting the fireplace. Four operation options are available for use with the fireplace: 10-Button Remote Control Handset (default option, always included with the fireplace) Puck Handset (optional accessory) Wall Switch (optional accessory) ...
Turning the Fireplace On 1. Press the button until you hear continuous beeping, and a blinking series of lines confirms the start sequence has begun; release buttons. 2. Main gas flows once pilot ignition is confirmed. 3. The system automatically goes into Manual Mode after main burner ignition. NOTE: When pilot ignition is confirmed, motor turns automatically to maximum flame height.
Operating Instructions Instructions for operating the Puck Handset are shown below.
