  • Page 12: Installation Clearances

    INSTALLATION CLEARANCES Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for the Vision Gas Fireplace. Observing the required clearances to combustible materials, the accessibility of the gas supply and the routing of the gas vent must all be considered.
  • Page 13 10.0” wall facing 8.0” Top of Vision Gas Fireplace opening Vision Gas Fireplace opening Figure 3a Combustible mantels may be placed no closer to the Vision Gas Fireplace opening than the distances shown in the Figure 3a side view, above.

  • Page 15: Combustion Air Supply

    In addition to the air that moves through the firebox opening, combustion air MUST also be provided to the base of the flame in the Vision Gas Fireplace using either one of two methods: Method 1- When using a European Home Surround With this method, a minimum twenty square inch opening is cut in the wall face as shown in Figure 5.
  • Page 16 Any materials such as insulation which will impede this free flow of air must be removed. If a combustion air supply is not implemented correctly, the life of Vision Gas Fireplace components will be shortened. CAUTION Do not bring either outside air or air from another room or building level into the wall cavity.
  • Page 17 The final determination of the suitability of any particular kit must be made by the installer. If an outside air supply is desired it should be added to the room in which the Vision Gas Fireplace is installed, not to the chase enclosing the Vision Gas Fireplace.

  • Page 18: Framing

    FRAMING When wooden framing is used around the Vision Gas Fireplace opening it must be 2x4 framing ONLY. Figure 7 shows the minimum chase opening of 33” wide, 461/4” high and 16” deep. Figures 8, 9a and 9b show typical framing construction.

  • Page 19: Installing The Fireplace

    INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE Header heat shield flange After the framing has been completed, the fireplace can be installed. Place the header heat shield extension on the center of the header heat shield flange as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10 GAS SUPPLY Route the gas supply into the fireplace cabinet.

  • Page 20: Venting

    VENTING The Vision Gas Fireplace must be vented vertically with a listed Type “B” gas vent that is nominally 8 inches in diameter. Any offsets must allow a minimum stack draft of -0.05” w.c. to be maintained. The minimum vent run is 10 vertical feet from the flue outlet. Vertical runs as high as fifty feet are in compliance.

  • Page 21: Facing

    FACING After the gas supply has been routed and the venting has been installed, the front wall or face can be finished. Non-combustible material must be used in the gray area shown in Figure 14. Conventional drywall may be used OUTSIDE of this area.
  • Page 22 When enclosing your fireplace, the use of non-combustible building materials is required. Please read and understand the following. COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS Materials that can catch fire and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with, wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material that can catch fire and burn is considered combustible.

  • Page 23: Installing The Burner Module

    INSTALLING THE BURNER MODULE Either a VBM burner module or a 24VBM burner module may be installed into your Vision Gas Fireplace. Except for the electrical connections, both burner modules install identically. Where installation differences exist they are noted. VBM Burner Module – This burner module requires two connections; each end of the blocked flue sensor wiring harness must be connected to the VBM burner module.
  • Page 24 Place the burner module into the fireplace burner well and locate the two holes in the front of the module base onto the two studs on the bottom of the fireplace. Fasten with the two nuts and washers provided. See Figure 18. Tighten Here Tighten Here Figure 18...
  • Page 25 24VBM Burner ONLY Refer to Figure 20, Figure 21 and Appendix A for detailed views. 1. Cut the ring terminal off of the red wire of the blocked flue sensor harness leaving as much wire remaining as possible. Strip 1/4” of the insulation from the cut end and crimp the enclosed male push terminal onto this stripped end.
  • Page 26 Figure 21 Connect the flexible gas line from the valve to the gas supply pipe. After the gas supply has been connected, open the main supply and apply a leak detection fluid (or gas detector) to all the fittings to check for gas leaks.

  • Page 28: Stone Configuration

    STONE CONFIGURATION The Vision Gas Fireplace can be operated with, or without, the decorative stones and/or embers. The following is the recommended stone/ember configuration. Slight differences in the placements are acceptable. When using the stones and embers, begin by placing one layer of the embers evenly over the entire burner top as shown in Figure 25.

    A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot by hand unless supervised by European Home Technical Support. B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
  • Page 32 VBM Burner Only The VBM burner module has two safety features which affect the operation: 1) two-button child safety ignition 2) 45 second safety timer The safety ignition requires that two buttons be depressed to begin the ignition sequence and the timer requires that 45 seconds elapse between start attempts.
