INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to determine where the
unit is to be installed, the routing of the B-type vent system, and whether optional
accessories are to be used. Gas supply piping should also be planned.
Model HD5030-TV (with the use of the Outside Air Kit) can be installed in a bedroom
(in the United States) which has a total volume of unconfined space appropriate to
the particular installation. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
- (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code - (current edition), and Local Build-
ing Inspector for the options allowed in obtaining an effective bedroom volume of
unconfined space.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:
1. A flat combustible surface
2. A raised wooden platform
3. Four (4) corner supports
(Example: four (4) concrete masonry blocks.) These supports must be positioned so
they contact all four corner edges on the bottom of the unit.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other
than wood flooring, the fireplace must be placed upon a metal or wood panel extend-
ing the full width and depth of the unit.
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing
should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material.
The fireplace framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing
headers may rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 7.1 for fireplace and
framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: VERIFY FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, FRAMING METHODS AND WALL
COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent run can be planned.
Figure 2.1 shows possible locations for the fireplace; inside of a room, flush mount in
a chase, or installed in a corner. Using a level, make sure the fireplace is properly
positioned and squared.
WARNING: DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE FIREPLACE SHOULD BE
LOCATED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND AWAY FROM FURNITURE AND DRAPERIES.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON
OR NEAR THE FIREPLACE.
