INSTALLATION (continued) Vent Runs VERTICAL, 90° ELBOW WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to install (12 inches minimum vertical rise shown) certain components before the appliance is completely positioned and installed. These include the direct vent system, gas piping for the appliance and the electrical wiring. The appliance can be mounted on any of the following surfaces: 1. A flat, hard surface A raised wooden platform...

See Venting graph on page 22.
VENT SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION Begin the vent system installation by selecting the type of venting When selecting a vent system for use with the fireplace, refer to the to be installed and the path that it will take. Verify that clearances “Vent Fireplace” section in this manual to determine what systems are met throughout the path of the venting system. are acceptable.

VENTING FIREPLACE Below Grade Installation When it is not possible to meet the required vent termination clearances of 12 inches above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7 inches below grade level. The 7 inches is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.

VERTICAL TERMINATION (continued) Vertical Through the Roof Applications Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for: a) Vertical installations up to 40 feet in height. b) Two sets of 45° elbow offsets within these vertical installations. A vent pipe from 0 to a maximum of 8 feet can be used between elbows. c) Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4 feet This application will require that you first determine the roof pitch and use the appropriate venting components.

VERTICAL TERMINATION (continued) The included flue restrictor disc may be used in vertical vent runs of 10 to 40 feet as measured from the bottom of the fireplace. Use the restrictor disc when a more yellow flame is desired. 33741-11-0217 Page 27...
FRAMING AND FINISHING Installing Support Brackets Install a horizontal pipe support used for each 3 feet of horizontal run to framing members. Allow 3 inches of clearance to combustibles above 8 inch diameter pipe and elbows and 1 inches of clearance on both sides and bottom.
Page 30
FRAMING AND FINISHING (continued) Vertical Firestops Vertical runs of this system which pass through ceilings require ONE ceiling firestop at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes. Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the vertical vent component and mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the vent.
FIBER PANELS NOTE: Install liner before positioning the logs in place. Figure 50 PLACING THE REQUIRED FIBER PANELS AND FLOOR LINER INTO FIREPLACE: Locate the Center Floor Liner, and place on the fireplace floor in front of the front burner. Locate the Left and Right Side Floor Liner and place on the bottom left and bottom right of fireplace floor. Shift the three Floor Liner sections as far forward as possible. Locate Lower Rear Panel and place tight against rear wall into rear bottom bracket. Locate Left Panel and place into position against left-side firebox wall. Secure using front upper bracket.
GLOWING EMBERS 1. Apply a single layer of small “dime-sized” pieces of rock wool (glowing embers) in the shaded areas shown below. NOTE: Pieces of glowing embers should be fluffed up prior to placement onto the burner. NOTE: Replacement of loose material (glowing embers) must be purchased from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. Application of excess loose material (glowing embers) may adversely affect performance of the appliance. WARNING All previously applied loose material must be removed prior to reapplication.
