Gas Connection
Only people licensed to work with gas piping may
make the gas connections to this appliance.
1. If the appliance is installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly
clean the masonry or factory-built fireplace.
2. The appliance has an opening on the left side of the control compartment.
A 3/8" NPT gas supply pipe must be brought near the opening.
3. Locate the centre point where the vent will pass through the chimney,
above the appliance. Move the appliance to the installation location.
Ensure that the insert is level.
4. Do not cut any sheet metal parts of the fireplace into which the gas
insert will be installed.
5. If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s), drill one of 1-1/2"
(37-1/2 mm) or less through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox.
The access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line is installed.

Vertical Venting
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to 3" (76 mm) and 4" (102 mm)
co-linear aluminum flex running the full length of the chimney. The flue
length must be a minimum of 10' (3.05 m) and a maximum of 35' (10.7 m)
long. See the chart below for minimum distances from the roof. Periodically
check that the vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the flexible liner will
accommodate. However, keep the flexible liner as straight as possible
(avoid unnecessary bending).
Attach both the exhaust and intake flue liners to both the termination cap
& flue collar at the appliance with a minimum of three self-tapping screws.
Use Mil-Pac sealant to seal the pipes.
The air intake pipe must be attached to the inlet air collar of the termination
cap.

This appliance was tested and certified as a complete
system with the noted termination caps and flex liner.
Only the listed termination caps/flex liner noted below
can be used. Use of termination caps or flex liners not
listed in this manual will void the warranty and cer-
tification of this appliance. It is also important not to
enclose the termination cap inside a masonry chimney
rain cap, or similar. The termination must be exposed
on all four sides and above to exhaust and draw air
into the firebox.
