PRIOR TO  
FINISHING TEMPLATE  
Thesidenailingstripscomeattachedtotheunit.  
There are 3 plates, one on the top and bottom  
that can be folded out as required.  
In order to maintain a clean face; the L900  
allows for a 1/8” in overlap of finishing material,  
such as rock or tile, on both the left and right  
hand sides of the unit (top and bottom sides do  
not allow for an overlap), this overlap must not  
be exceeded or the glass door will no longer  
open properly.  
INSTALLATION  
TheTopFacingSupport, theSideNailingStrips  
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly  
positioned and attached to the top before unit  
is slipped into position.  
Non-combustible wall board is installed up  
to the flanges on all sides of the unit. When  
installing any additional facing material use  
the Finishing Template (included with the unit)  
to ensure that the finishing material does not  
exceed the allowable overlap.  
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY  
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position  
and must be folded into shape and attached.  
1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace  
The Finishing Template uses two magnets to  
attach itself to the flange on the left or right side  
oftheunit(seediagrambelow).Installthefacing

2) Takeeachstandoffandbendintothecorrect  
shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the  
screw holes in the standoff and the pre-  
punched screw holes on the fireplace top  
line up.  
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top  
with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite  
corners).

1) Remove the glass door.  
The L900 uses the "balanced flue" technology  
CoAxial system. The inner liner vents products  
of combustion to the outside while the outer  
liner draws outside combustion air into the  
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the  
needtouseheatedroomairforcombustionand  
losing warm room air up the chimney.

Wall thickness is measured from the back  
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of  
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl  
furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl  
siding standoff, to create a level surface to  
mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must  
not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall  
thickness including furring strips.  
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must  
be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside  
surface of wall without siding and add 2  
inches.  
* A Vent Guard is required when the AstroCap  
is installed above grade at 7 feet or lower.

TERMINATION  
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl  
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding  
standofforfurringstripsmustbeused  
to ensure that the termination is not  
recessed into the siding.  
6) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x  
279mm) square hole. The center of the  
square hole should line up with the center-  
line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the  
11 inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior  
wall where the vent will be terminated. See  
diagram 2 for center line requirements.  
(Rigid Vent Systems)  
Atopclearanceof3"(76mm)andside&bottom  
clearance of 2"(51mm) must be maintained;  
except when passing through a wall, ceil-  
ing, or at the termination where the use of a  
firestop or wall thimble reduces the required  
clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We recommend  
framing a 11"(279mm) x 11"(279mm) (inside  
dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity  
for mounting the termination.  
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of  
non-combustiblematerial,i.e.masonryblock  
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole  
is acceptable.  
Install the vent system according to the  
manufacturer's instructions included with the  
components.  
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to  
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in  
thewaywhentheventingsystemisattached.  
If this is the case, you may want to adjust  
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas  
preferably on the right side of the unit and  
the electrical (junction block is on the left  
side) on the left.

8) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent  
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall  
Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble  
is required for all horizontal terminations.  
3) In conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent  
Direct Vent GS system. Install the adaptor  
after the unit is set in its desired location.  
Put a bead of high temperature silicone  
inside the outer section of the adapter and  
a bead of Mill Pack on the inner collar. Slip  
the adapter over the existing inner and outer  
fluecollar. Fastentotheoutercollaronlywith

Note:  
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,  
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot  
of run towards the termination. Never  
allow the vent to run downward. This  
could cause high temperatures and may  
present the possibility of a fire.

TESTING  
For USA installations follow local codes and/or  
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z223.1.  
The appliance must be isolated from the gas  
supply piping system by closing its individual  
manual shut-off valve during any pressure  
testing of the gas supply piping system at  
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.  
(3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at  
pressures over 1/2 psig.  
When using copper or flex connectors use only  
approved fittings. Always provide a union so  
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for  
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex  
connectors are usually considered to meet this  
requirement.
