  • Page 4: Orifice Size/Altitude Adjustment

    ORIFICE SIZE/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M),the orifice should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper ratio of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing may result in damage and unsafe conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a quali- fied service technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for proper orifice sizes. SMOKE DETECTORS Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area. THE RAVELLE™ 4 FIREPLACE • Must conform with all local, state and national installation codes.

    PRE-INSTALLATION Features Installation Options Residential Vented vertical and horizontal Manufactured (mobile) home Natural gas (NG) or propane (LP) Bedrooms Optional wall-mounted or remote thermostat Ductable for greater heat distribution Venting This fireplace can be vented with Security™ Secure Vent™ pipe*. Coaxial pipe diameters are 6-5/8” outer and 4” inner. The combustion air for this fireplace is drawn from outside the house through the outer DV (direct vent) pipe. Room air is not required for combustion. When planning your installation, select the correct length of vent pipe for your particular requirements. Determine the minimum clearance to combustibles from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also important to note the thickness of the wall. Before cutting the vent hole through the wall make sure that ALL vent and termination clearances (see Pages 18-20) will be met. Electrical The standard fan motor requires 120 Volts AC for operation. The fireplace is not dependent on the fan or an outside electrical supply to operate. Millivolt Valve This fireplace is operated with a millivolt valve and therefore burns even during a power outage.

    Preparing Your Ravelle™ 4 Fireplace For Installation Read all instructions before beginning your installation. If instructions have not been read carefully, your installation could void your warranty and may create a serious fire, health, or other safety hazard. The Lennox Hearth Products warranty will be voided if one of the fol- lowing occurs: • Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system compo- nent. • Unauthorized modification of the direct vent system. • Installation other than as instructed by Lennox Hearth Products, Security™, or Simpson Dura-Vent. • Installation of any fireplace or vent system component not manu- factured or approved by Lennox Hearth Products, Security™ or Simpson Dura-Vent. When planning the installation for your Ravelle 42 gas fireplace, it’s necessary to consider the following: • Where the unit is to be installed • The vent system configuration to be used • Gas supply (NG or LP) • Electrical wiring • Framing and finishing • Optional accessories Clearances to Combustibles Minimum clearances include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, spacers/standoffs or surfaces to combustible construction etc.
  • Page 8: Installation

    INSTALLATION Framing Dimensions The dimensions given on this page are minimum framing distances neces- sary to maintain safe clearances between the Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace and combustible materials. If the unit is to be vented horizontally with a 90º elbow right off the top of the fireplace and directly through an exterior wall, then a hole 10-3/4” (273 mm) square with a center line 42-1/4” (1073 mm) above the base of the fireplace will accommodate the wall thimble and direct vent pipe. The gas line should be routed to the left side of the unit. The access hole in the fireplace for the gas line is 6-7/8” (175 mm) back from the front edge and 2-1/8” (54 mm) up from the base of the unit. If the gas line enters the unit from the right side the piping will need to be disconnected to remove the fan. If a wall-mounted on/off switch or thermostat is to be used, these wires should be routed to the left front of the unit for access to the fireplace. The wire should be fed through the gas line hole, along the gas line, to the valve. The electrical power supply wiring should be routed to the right rear of the unit. Note: The fireplace may be placed directly on wood or non-combustible flooring, but not on vinyl floor covering or carpet.

    Raised Installations The fireplace may be raised by building a platform of sufficient strength to support the fireplace and pipe. When building a raised hearth extension, please see the note below regarding height of the fireplace in relation to the thickness of the hearth extension material. Raised Platform Raised Platform for Hearth Extension for Hearth Exten- and Fireplace sion and Fireplace Figure 5 Raised Raised Platform Platform Figure 6 Hearth Extension Considerations A hearth extension in front of the fireplace is not required; however, to enhance the appearance of the Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace, one is recom- mended. Note: There is a 1” (25 mm) space between the base of the fireplace and the bottom of the decorative fireplace face. This space will allow a 7/8” (22 mm) thick hearth extension (including backer board if desired). Should a hearth extension thicker than 7/8” (22 mm) be desired, the height of the fireplace must be raised the thickness of that hearth extension less the 7/8” (22 mm). For example, if a 2-7/8” (73 mm) thick cultured stone is to be placed on the floor to serve as the hearth...

  • Page 12 Facing Greater Than 1” (5mm) Thick: If the combined thickness of the facing material (eg. brick or cultured stone) and concrete board is greater than 1”, then the facing material must be placed around the face. A template (Arch #75098, Foundry™ #75035 and Louver #75101) should be used while installing the facing material. Templates for the various faces may be purchased from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer or a template may be made of plywood using the dimensions listed on this page. If you choose to make a template, 1/8” (3mm) must be added to each side and top dimension to provide sufficient clearance so the face may be removed for access to the firebox. Since the bottom of the fireplace face is 1” above the base of the fireplace, 1” (25mm) must be added to the height of the template if the template is to rest on the floor or platform on which the fireplace is placed. It is extremely IMPORTANT that the template be centered left to right on the glass door of the fireplace. Template Template Platform to raise fireplace to accommodate a hearth extension greater than 1”...
  • Page 13: Face Installation

    Face Installation A number of different faces are available for the Ravelle™ 42 gas fire- place, however, all the faces are installed in a similar manner. A total of four screws (two upper and two lower) attach the face to the fireplace. To install a face: 1. Locate the two screws found in the hardware bag shipped with the face. Position the face (with the lower door open) in front of the fireplace. Install the two screws, A in the diagram below, through the holes in the lower door hinge bracket and screw them into the captive nut on tab B located on the fireplace. Do not fully tighten these screws yet. Expanded View Expanded View Figure 16 2. Bracket C in the diagram below is installed on the face during the face assembly (see instructions included with face). The captive screws D on this bracket should be screwed into captive nuts E on the fireplace. A phillips head screwdriver inserted through the vent holes in the face can be used to complete this task. Align the face for plumb and level and then tighten all four screws. CAUTION: Any masonry that has been cleaned with an acid wash must be properly neutralized before installing the fire- place face.
  • Page 14: Vent Installation

    VENT INSTALLATION Application: The Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace, has been tested and listed as a direct vent heater system by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Portland, Oregon. and is recommended for use with Security™ Secure Vent™ pipe. IMPORTANT: • Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard and will void the warranty. Be sure to check for specific clearances to combustible requirements on Page 7. Do not extend the venting system vertically or horizontally in excess of the distance prescribed on Page 19. Consult your local building codes before beginning the installation. • Always maintain the proper air spaces (see Page 7) between the vent pipe and nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard.

  • Page 16: Vent Considerations

    Vent Considerations Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and fittings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide into the four entry slots on the male ends (see Figure 17). Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one sec- tion clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside on the pipe or fittings. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends. Sealant Figure 17 Supports: Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose. Pipe Sealing: If Security™ Secure Vent™ pipe is used, then sealant is required at only the first pipe joint attaching the pipe to the flue collar on the fireplace. If Simpson Dura-Vent GS pipe is used, then the pipe must be sealed as follows: seal both the inner and outer pipes with a high temperature silicone sealant rated for at least 600º F (commonly known as “RTV”). Run a 1/8” (3mm) bead of silicone around the outside of the male end of the outer sleeve. Run a 1/8” (3mm) bead of silicone about 1/4” (6mm) from the end of the male inner pipe, which is found in the pipe to be attached above. Twist-lock the pipes or fittings together.
  • Page 17: Horizontal Vent Installation

    Horizontal Vent Installation IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. All Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplaces horizontally terminated vent installations use 8”x 5” Security™ Secure Vent™ or Simpson Dura-Vent GS direct-vent pipe. 2. When this pipe passes through a wall, a wall thimble - Security #SV5RSM or Simpson #1247 is required. The hole in the wall for the wall thimble should be 10-3/4” x 10-3/4”. 3. Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Wall straps - Security #SV5BM or Simpson #1288 are available for this purpose. 4. If the vent passes through a ceiling or floor, a firestop - Security #SV5BF or Simpson #1263 is required. 5. Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding. If installing the termination cap on a wall covered with siding, a vinyl siding standoff - Security #SV5VS or Simpson #1250 or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination cap is not recessed into the siding. 6. The horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4” (6mm) rise for every 12” (305mm) of run towards the termination. 7. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combus- tible material, such as masonry block or concrete, an 8-1/2” (216mm) diameter hole is acceptable and a wall thimble is not required.
  • Page 18: Flue Restrictors

    Flue Restrictors The flue restrictor settings shown in Figures 22 and 23 are for typical installations and may need to be adjusted from standard to take into account other variables in the installation to achieve proper combustion. See Flue Restrictor Guidelines on this page to assist you in making a proper flue restrictor adjustment.
  • Page 19: Horizontal Terminations

    Horizontal Terminations (Use 8” Direct-Vent Pipe) The shaded areas in the diagram below show all allowable combinations of vent configuration with horizontal terminations. Horizontal sections of pipe require 1/4” (6.4 mm) of rise for every 12” (305 mm) of run. A second 90º or 45º elbow (in addition to the first 90º elbow at the top of the vertical length of pipe) is allowed as long as the overall length of the horizontal run of pipe does not exceed those shown below. Use the restrictor positions indicated. If the fireplace is vented with an elbow directly off the top of the flue collar and three to four feet of horizontal pipe is used, then no restrictor is to be installed in the fireplace.

    Brick Panel and Log Set Installation Brick Panel The brick panels are extremely fragile so handle them with care. 1. Remove brick panels from box and wrapping. 2. The long rectangular panel goes in the rear of the firebox - the thin layer of bricks should be down. The panel rests on three metal tabs protruding from the rear of the firebox about 3” above the firebox floor. 3. On the side panels, the rounded edge goes to the front. Install the side panels by sliding them along the side of the firebox into retainers at the top and bottom. Figure 25 Log Set Log Installation Instructions If logs are not installed according to the log installation instructions, flame impingement and improper combustion could occur and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide (CO), a color- less, odorless, toxic gas.
  • Page 22: Electrical Connections

    Electrical Connections: * The breaker supplying electricity to the fireplace must be turned off at the electrical panel before any connections are made at the fireplace. * The wire supplying the fireplace should be a minimum of 14 gage and provide 120 Volts at 60 hz. * The fireplace must be grounded in accordance with local electrical codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code or ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition. * The electrical box is located at the right rear of the fireplace (see Figures 29 and 30). Remove the cover, loosen the wire clamp A and feed the household supply line through the clamp and retighten clamp. * Connect the supply ground wire to the green screw B. * Remove the wire nut C from the black wires coming from the fireplace and join these wires to the black supply wire reusing the wire nut. Repeat for white wires. * Reinstall the cover to the fireplace. * If a wall-mounted burner on/off switch or thermostat is to be used, the wires running from the switch or thermostat should be routed to the left side of the fireplace. The wire should be fed through the gas line supply hole along the gas line to the valve.

  • Page 23: Gas Pressure Requirements

    Gas Line Installation The Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace must be connected to the gas line in ac- cordance with local codes and/or the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA B149.1 installation code). The gas line should enter the fireplace on the left side (see diagrams on Pages 8 and 9). If the gas line enters the unit from the right side, the line will need to be disconnected to remove the fan. The fireplace comes with a flex line attached to the supply side of the gas valve. The fitting on the end of the flex line can receive a 1/2” female iron pipe coupling, a 3/8” male iron pipe, or a shut-off valve. There is sufficient room to locate the shut-off valve under the firebox at the end of this flex line, however, local codes may require the shut-off to be located on the exterior of the fireplace. After connecting the gas line, all joints in the line and connections at the valve should be checked for leaks before final positioning of the unit. Conduct a gas leakage test of the appliance piping and control system downstream of the shutoff valve in the supply line to the appliance. Gas Pressure Requirements A MAJOR CAUSE OF OPERATING PROBLEMS WITH GAS APPLI- ANCES IS IMPROPER GAS PRESSURE! The most important item to check during the initial installation and the first thing to check when operating problems occur is gas pressure!

    Increasing Efficiency and Hot Air Movement A number of different options are available to the homeowner to maximize the heat output and air movement to different rooms in the house. Grills: If your Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace is installed in a cabinet or a chase, heat can be drawn from these enclosures and circulated into the living area by cutting one or two openings covered by a register or Grill. Opening and Grill into Adjoining Room Figure 33 Possible Opening and Grill Locations on Cabinet Figure 34 Whole Home Comfort System: The Whole Home Comfort System is a very inexpensive and efficient way to move air into and heat other areas of the house. In the bottom of the Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace are four inch and Six inch (152 mm) diameter knock-out plates. Four inch (102 mm) or six inch (152 mm) diameter return air ducting may be fastened to the bottom of the fireplace, run into another room in the house and terminated with a grill. When the fireplace is burning, with or without the fireplace fan running, air is drawn from a distant room (lowering the pressure in that room) through the return air duct into the bottom of the fireplace. The air then passes through the outer shell and heat exchanger of the fireplace and into the room in which the fireplace is located. The hot air in the fireplace room moves through an open doorway or hall into the...

  • Page 31: Air Shutter Adjustment

    Air Shutter Adjustment The Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace has an air shutter control lever located at the upper left corner beneath the firebox (see Figure 46). The lever is linked to the primary air shutter on the main burner. The air shutter regulates the amount of primary air the burner receives and therefore how clean the fireplace burns. The air shutter should only be adjusted by a qualified gas technician. The fireplace should burn for about 15 minutes with the logs installed before adjusting the air shutter. Moving the lever to the left will open the shutter and turn the flames more transparent and blue. Moving the lever to the right will close the shutter and turn the flames more orange. CAUTION: The air shutter should never be set so as to make the tips of the flames sooty or create sooting on the viewing glass, logs, or heat exchanger. If soot begins to form after burning, the air shutter should be opened gradually until the sooting condition stops. Gas quality and gas pressure may vary which can affect the burning characteristics of the fireplace. Expanded View of Air Shutter Control Lever Open Close Figure 46 Paint Curing This fireplace has been painted with a high temperature metallic paint. It leaves the factory dry to the touch, but completes the curing process as the fireplace is used. To cure the paint, burn the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each time with a five minute cool down between each firing. Also some parts of the appliance may be lightly coated with machining oil. Ventilate the house during these first firings as the paint and oil give off unpleasant odors. It is recommended that persons sensi- tive to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the fireplace during the curing process. Quiet Operation As the Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace is burning a number of normal operational sounds may be heard. The flow of gas through the gas valve and orifice...
  • Page 32: Operating Options

    Operating Options Your Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace comes equipped with an “On/Off” rocker switch used to turn the burner on and off while the pilot light is on. The switch is a round rocker switch located behind the lower door of the fireplace’s face. A wall-mounted switch, a millivolt wall thermostat, or a remote control can be used to supplement the rocker switch. The gas valve is powered by millivolts generated by the pilot assembly. This millivolt system is very sensitive to electrical resistance, therefore make sure all connec- tions are tight, clean and free from corrosion. Do not splice any millivolt wires. Consult the table on this page to determine the proper gage of wire for the thermostat or wall switch connections. This table refers to the total length of the wire (out to the switch and back). The thermostat must be a millivolt type. A 24-volt furnace thermostat will not work. Never hook up household current - 120 Volts - to the millivolt system. It is not recommended to hook up any more than two switches to the fireplace (for example a rocker switch and a wall thermostat). Additional switches may affect the system resistance and increase the chance of the burner not igniting. Follow the instructions included with the thermostat or remote control for wiring. The thermostat, remote control and rocker switch will turn the burner on and off independently. Be sure to set the rocker switch to the “Off” position when using the thermostat or remote control and set the thermostat or remote control to the lowest temperature when you wish to use the rocker switch only, otherwise one may override the other.
