Page 10 Building Around the Fireplace Building Checklist The following building checklist is a quick reference for a typical 60 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.
Page 11 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.
Page 12 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. 60 Front (F) Series Fireplace Glass...

Page 15 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.
Page 16 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 60 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 ...

Page 18 Air Intake Opening For fireplaces with a double glass heat barrier only, 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.
Page 19 Air Intake for a Platform NOTE: Please refer to the “Chase Floor/Platform” section on page 11 for details on platform construction.
Page 20 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. At 12 inches above the fireplace viewing area, maximum possible recess is 5 inches. A deeper recess will interfere with required clearances to venting.
Page 22 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.
Page 23 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).
Page 24 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.
Page 25 Step-by-Step Chase Construction The following checklist is a simplified overview of typical chase construction for a 60 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.
Page 26 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 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.
Page 27 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).
Page 28 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.
Page 29 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.
Page 30 TERMINATION CAP NOTE: Low Profile Termination Cap and Sconce Termination Cap can negatively impact flame appearance and are not recommended for use with the fireplace. Allowable Maximum Horizontal Runs 60 Series (135 Single Burner) V minimum = 3 feet Vertical (V)
Page 31 Vent Restrictor Sizing Guidelines The restrictor sizing tables in this section determine the recommended restrictor for your vent configuration. These tables show Ortal’s recommendations only. The Environment, gas type and other factors may affect the best restrictor choice. How to use the “Recommended Restrictor” tables: Find the total vertical rise in your vent configuration along the y-axis.

Page 46 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.
Page 47 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.
Page 48 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. COINS Block as few ports as possible, and no more than 30% of total ports.
Page 49 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) ...
