COLD CLIMATE INSULATION  
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks  
around your appliance with noncombustible  
material and wherever cold air could enter  
the room. It is especially important to insulate  
outside chase cavity between studs and under  
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above  
ground level. Gas line holes and other open-  
ings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced  
fiberglass insulation.  
Offset Venting  
(one end flush  
with wall)  
Vertical  
Venting  
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement  
slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or  
otherraisedplatformcanbeplacedunderneath  
to prevent cold transfer to the fireplace and into  
the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside  
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness  
and caulk firestops.

Appliance and Vent Clearances  
MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES  
Maintain clearances from appliance to  
combustible materials as detailed in Table  
6, with the following exception: When the  
appliance is installed with one side flush  
with a wall, the wall on the other side of the  
appliance must not extend beyond the front  
edge of the appliance. In addition, when the  
applianceisinstalledinthemiddleofaroom,the  
side walls surrounding the appliance must not  
extend beyond the front edge of the appliance.  
See Figure 3.  
Hearth Extension - A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. If a hearth extension is used,  
do not block the lower control compartment access door. Any hearth extension used is for appearance  
only and does not have to conform to standard hearth extension installation requirements.  
Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels  
Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach  
the area defined by the appliance front and back faces (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible  
materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance front and back faces. See Figure  
59 on Page 31.  
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the  
appliance front and back faces with the following exception: If the optional radiant panels are  
installed, the non-combustible material may cover any portion of the top radiant panel or the air  
gaps surrounding the top radiant panel down to the top edge of eyebrow hood. The material must  
NOT cover any portion of the glass door or louvered panels.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE  
Proper Sizing of Gas Line  
Notes:  
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a  
flexiblegaslineconnectorand1/2inchshutoff  
valve (see Figure 47 on Page 27).  
Properly size and route the gas supply line  
from the supply regulator to the area where  
the appliance is to be installed per require-  
ments outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code,  
NFPA 54 - latest edition (USA) or B149 - latest  
edition (Canada).  
Route a gas line along the inside of the right  
side framing as shown in Figure 14. Gas  
lines must be routed, constructed and made  
of materials that are in strict accordance with  
local codes and regulations. All appliances are  
factory-equipped with a flexible gas line con-  
nector and 1/2 inch shutoff valve (see Step  
6 on Page 27).  
• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page  
4 for additional requirements for installations  
in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.  
• The gas supply line should Not be connected  
to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 27).  
Apipejointcompoundratedforgasshouldbe  
used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane  
resistant compounds are used in propane  
applications. Be very careful that the pipe  
compound does not get inside the pipe.  
• It is recommended to install a sediment trap  
in the supply line as close as possible to the  
appliance (see Figure 47). Appliances using  
Propane should have a sediment trap at the  
base of the tank.  
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer  
to Table 7 for proper sizing of the gas sup-  
ply line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas  
lines must be routed, constructed and made  
of materials that are in strict accordance with  
local codes and regulations. We recommend  
that a qualified individual such as a plumber  
or gas fitter be hired to correctly size and route  
the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing  
a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the  
applianceinvolvesnumerousconsiderationsof  
materials,protection,sizing,locations,controls,  
pressure,sediment,andmore.Certainlynoone  
unfamiliarandunqualifiedshouldattemptsizing  
or installing gas piping.

• Checkwithlocalbuildingofficialforlocalcode  
requirements(i.e.arebelowgradepenetrations

(79 mm)  
5-5/8"  
(143 mm)  
IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that  
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100-lbs, if  
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.  
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,  
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which  
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition  
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting  
from an improper installation, such as this, is  
not covered under the limited warranty.

These fireplaces must be vented directly to the outside.  
The vent system may not service multiple appliances, and must never  
be connected to a flue serving a solid fuel burning appliance. The vent  
pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall (such as a chase). There  
is no requirement for inspection openings in the enclosing wall at any of  
the joints in the vent pipe.  
WARNING  
The VENT SEAL CAP must remain securely installed  
on unused vent collar. Failure to do so could result in  
leakage of flue products into living space.

Installation of Vent Restrictor  
Preparing the Appliance Vent Collar  
Each of the appliances' two vent collars are sealed with a seal cap which  
must be removed from the vent collar being used. Refer to Figure 15  
for top vent installations and Figure 16 for side vent installations and  
the following steps to prepare the appropriate collar for use.  
(Top Vent Installations with Vertical Terminations Only)  
A vent restrictor (provided) may be needed with this appliance. If needed,  
install the vent restrictor in the appliance top flue outlet as shown in  
Figure 17 when vertically terminating the vent system above the roof. It  
may be installed either from inside or outside the appliance, in the inner  
fireplace collar. It is press-fitted in place.  
From the vent collar being used, remove the two screws securing the  
vent seal cap. Twist the cap counterclockwise. Pull it away from the  
appliance and discard, along with the piece of insulation.  
Note: The restrictor is included within the firebox.

Determine the number of straight vent sections  
required. 4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm),  
22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-  
1/2" (1181 mm) net section lengths are avail-  
able (see Table 8 and Page 33 - Item 3). It is  
recommended that you plan the vent lengths  
so that a section joint does not occur within the  
space defined by ceiling joists or roof rafters.  
Refer to the Vent Section Length Chart.

Vertical (offset) Installation  
D. Install firestop / spacer at ceiling - When  
using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop /  
spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure  
Flex, use SF4.5VF firestop / spacer. If there is  
living space above the ceiling level, the firestop  
/ spacer must be installed on the bottom side  
of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling,  
the firestop / spacer must be installed on the  
top side of the joist.  
B. Attach vent components to appliance - Se-  
cure Vent SV4.5 direct-vent system compo-  
nents are unitized concentric pipe components  
featuring positive twist lock connections (see  
Figure 20).  
Analyze the vent routing and determine the  
number of vent sections and elbows required.  
Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and Tables on  
Pages 17 and 18 to select the type of vertical  
installation desired. Refer to the Vent Section  
LengthChartsonPage14 foranaidinselecting  
ventlengthcombinations. Elbowsareavailable  
in 45° and 90° configurations. Refer to Figure  
23 on Page 16 for the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90  
elbow dimensional specifications.  
All of the appliances covered in this document  
are fitted with collars having locking inclined  
channels. The dimpled end of the vent com-  
ponents fit over the appliance collar to create  
the positive twist lock connection.  
Routetheventsectionsthroughtheframedopen-  
ing and secure the firestop / spacer with 8d nails  
or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.  
Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clearance  
tocombustibles,framingmembers,andatticor  
ceiling insulation when running vertical chim-  
ney sections. Attic insulation shield (H3907)  
may be used to obtain the required clearances  
indicated here. See installation accessories o  
n Pages 33 and 34. The gap between the vent  
pipe and a vertical firestop can be sealed with  
non-combustible caulking.  
Where required, a telescopic vent section  
(SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer  
with an option in installing in tight and confined  
spaces or where the vent run made up of fixed  
length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable  
location, or will not build up to the required  
length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section  
has an effective length of from 1-1/2" (38 mm)  
to 7-1/2" (191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with  
a locking inclined channel end (identical to a  
normalventsectioncomponent)andaplainend  
with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the  
locking channel end of a standard SV4.5 vent  
component the required distance and secure  
with three screws.  
Align the dimple (four places) of the  
upper vent section with the opening  
of the locking incline channel on the  
lower vent section or appliance col-  
lar. Twist vent component clockwise  
to engage and seal until arrow and  
dimple align.

Supporttheverticalportionoftheventingsystem  
every 8 feet (2.4 m) above the fireplace vent  
outlet. One method of support is by utilizing  
field provided support straps (conventional  
plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's tape to  
the framing members with nails or screws.  
Loop the tape around the vent, securing the  
ends of the tape to the framing. If desired,  
sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2" length may be  
used to secure the support straps to the vent  
pipe. See Figure 21.  
Figure 20  
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance  
to combustible materials for all vertical ele-  
ments.Clearancesforallhorizontalelements  
are 3" (76 mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides  
and 1" (25 mm) on the bottom.  
To attach a vent component to the appliance  
collar, align the dimpled end over the collar,  
adjusting the radial alignment until the four  
locking dimples are aligned with the inlet of  
the four inclined channels on the collar (refer to  
Figure 20). Push the vent component against  
the collar until it fully engages, then twist the  
component clockwise, running the dimples  
down and along the incline channels until they  
seat at the end of the channels. The unitized  
design of the Secure Vent™ components will  
engage and seal both the inner and outer pipe  
without the need for sealant or screws. If  
desired a #6 x 1/2" screw may be used at the  
joint, butitnotrequiredasthepipewillsecurely  
lock when twisted.  
A. Frame ceiling opening - Use a plumb line  
from the ceiling above the appliance to locate  
center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an  
opening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267 mm x 267

If the vent system extends more than 5 feet  
(1.5 m)above the roof flashing, stabilizers may  
be necessary. Additional screws may be used  
at section joints for added stability. Guide wires  
may be attached to the joint for additional sup-  
port on multiple joint configurations.

and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 12-1/8"  
(267 mm x 308 mm) inside dimensions, about  
this center.

H. Change vent direction - At transition from  
or to a horizontal / inclined run, install the  
SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same  
manner as the straight vent sections. The  
elbows feature a twist section to allow them to  
be routed about the center axis of their initial  
collar section to align with the required direc-  
tion of the next vent run element. Twist elbow  
sections in a clockwise direction only so as  
to avoid the possibility of unlocking any of  
the previously connected vent sections (see  
Figure 20 on Page 15).  
D. Attach vent components to appliance - To  
attachaventcomponenttotheappliancecollar,  
align the dimpled end over the collar, adjust-  
ing the radial alignment until the four locking  
dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four  
incline channels on the collar (refer to Figure

Secure Vent SV4.5 direct-vent system compo-  
nents are unitized concentric pipe components  
featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer  
to Figure 20 on Page 15). All of the appli-  
ances covered in this document are fitted with  
collars having locking inclined channels. The  
dimpled end of the vent components fit over  
the appliance collar to create the positive twist  
lock connection.

I.Continueinstallationofhorizontal/inclined  
sections - Continue with the installation of the  
straightventsectionsinhorizontal/inclinedrun  
as described in Step E. Install support straps  
every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal / inclined  
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.  
See Figure 32. It is very important that the  
horizontal / inclined run be maintained in a  
straight (no dips) and recommended to be in  
a slightly elevated plane, in a direction away  
from the fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm  
per meter) which is ideal, though rise per foot  
run ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the  
way down to at or near level.  
A. Plan the vent run -  
Analyze the vent routing and determine the  
types and quantities of sections required  
4-1/2"(114mm),10-1/2"(267mm),22-1/2"(572  
mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm)  
net section lengths are available. It is recom-  
mended that you plan the vent lengths so that  
a section joint does not occur within the space  
definedbyceilingjoists,roofraftersorwallstuds.  
MakeallowancesforelbowsasindicatedinFigure  
23 on Page 16.  
Note: An elbow may also be attached to the  
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner  
as you would a vent section.  
E. Attach vent components to each other  
- Other vent sections may be added to the  
previouslyinstalledsectioninaccordancewith  
the requirements of the vent tables.  
It is important to maintain the required clear-  
ancestocombustibles:1"(25mm)atallsides  
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the top,  
1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at the  
bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.  
To add another vent component to a length  
of vent run, align the dimpled end of the  
component over the inclined channel end of  
the previously installed section, adjusting the  
radial alignment until the four locking dimples  
are aligned with the inlets of the four incline  
channels of the previous section.  
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance to  
combustibles on the vertical sections. Clear-  
ances for the horizontal runs are; 3" (76 mm)  
on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides, and 1" (25 mm)  
at the bottom.  
Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a  
constant surface and adjust the support straps  
as necessary.

vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening  
as described in Step B. Assemble the vent  
system to point where the terminus of the last  
sectionislocatedrelativetotheexteriorsurface  
to which the termination is to be attached as

IMPORTANT: The vent termination is hot  
whileinoperationandforaperiodoftime  
following the use of the fireplace. Young  
children should be carefully supervised  
when they are in the same area as a hot  
termination. To prevent contact with hot  
surfaces, we recommend the use of a  
Termination Guard. See Page 33. This  
can be purchased at your local dealer.  
Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather condi-  
tions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.  
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termina-  
tion where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascad-  
ing water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of  
cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away  
from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.  
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including  
the use of silicone caulking where required.

ing section for their installation requirements.  
1. Install the large gear clamp loosely around  
the outer flexible vent pipe, push it back out  
of the way.  
Align the dimpled end of the adapter over  
the previously installed section or appliance  
collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the  
four locking dimples of the adapter are aligned  
with the inlets of the four incline channels of  
the last vent section or collar. Push on the  
adapter until it fully engages, then twist the  
adapter clockwise running the dimples down  
and along the incline channels until they seat  
at the end of the channels.  
2. ApplyabeadofMill-PacBlack(700°F,high  
temperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81)  
to the outer adapter collar; to the grooves  
of the collar which extend approximately 1  
inch from the end and to the flat surface,  
approximately 1-3/8 inches from the end.  
3. Pull and extend outer flexible vent pipe.  
4. Slidetheouterexpipeovertheadaptercol-

NOTE: The top louvered panel and the bottom  
louvered control panel door remove and install  
the same way as follows:  
Gas line connection may be performed largely  
outside of the confines of the control compart-  
ment and without having to enter the firebox  
behind the glass. Proceed as follows:

Acquire the shut-off valve and gas lex line and  
pull the assembly forward out of the compart-  
ment. Separate the shut-off valve from the gas  
flex-line. Determine the length of pipe needed  
to route the gas line from the last fitting (shown  
in Figure 14 on Page 12) to a point within the  
control compartment that will allow the shut-  
off valve to be easily attached by hand to the  
gas flex-line.

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a  
gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble  
leak solution).  
The flame should project 1" (25 mm) beyond  
the hood at all three ports (Figure 50).  
To light the burner; rotate the gas valve control  
knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position  
then turn “ON” the OFF/ON switch (installed  
at Step 4).  
Note: Using a soapy water solution is an effec-  
tive leak test solution but it is not recommended,  
because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/  
fittings can result in corrosion over time.

Install the decorative volcanic stone and  
glowing embers (rockwool):  
Spread the decorative volcanic stone on the  
simulated brick floor of the firebox around  
the burners to simulate ashes. Maintain a 1/2  
inch (13 mm) gap between the bottom of the  
horizontalgratesectionandthetopofthepileof  
decorative volcanic stone. Place a few quarter-  
sized pieces of the glowing ember material  
on the pan burner in front of the burned out  
area on both sides of the log set. The glowing  
embers may touch one another, but should not  
overlap each other.  
FRONT BURNER  
Burner / Grate Location Reference  
Note: The burners are not identical. Position them so  
that the circular burner ports run as shown. Note  
especially the vertical run of ports relative to the pilot  
burner. Bracket A on the rear burner will interfere  
with the pilot burner if an attempt is made to install  
the rear burner in the front burner’s position.  
(see Figures 54 and 55)  
Note: If the burners have been removed for  
any reason, rear burner must be installed  
before front burner. See Figures 54 and 55.

Removing Glass Enclosure Panels  
(see Figure 56)  
Step 9. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL  
OF GLASS DOOR  
Step 10. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS  
Flame Appearance and sooting  
Proper flame appearance is a flame which is  
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange  
in the body of the flame.  
1. Remove the top louver assembly by lifting it  
up and pulling it out.  
2. Remove the control compartment access  
door (see removal instructions on Page 27  
- Removing Control Compartment Door).  
3. Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the  
control compartment. To disengage the two  
latches from the bottom vee-flange of the  
glassenclosurepanel, reachforthehandles  
located towards the back of the latches and  
pull the handles down toward the front of  
the appliance.  
WARNING  
Donotattempttosubstitutethe  
materialsusedonthesedoors,  
or replace cracked or broken  
glass.  
When the appliance is first lit, the entire flame  
may be blue and will gradually turn yellowish-  
orange during the first 15 minutes of operation.  
After 15 minutes of operation, if the flame is  
blue, or if the flame is orange with evidence of  
sooting (black tip), the air shutter opening may  
need to be adjusted.  
• Handlethisglasswithextreme  
care! Glass is susceptible to  
damage – Do not scratch or  
handleroughlywhilereinstall-  
ing the glass door frame.  
• The glass door(s) of this appli-  
ance must only be replaced as  
a complete unit as provided  
by the manufacturer. Do not  
attempt to replace broken,  
crackedorchippedglasssepa-  
rately.  
4. Swing the bottom of the door out and raise  
it slightly to lift the top flange of the door  
frame away from the appliance.  
If the air shutter openings are closed too far,  
sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by  
black puffs developing at the tips of very long  
orangeames. Sootingresultsinblackdeposits  
forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces  
and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent  
termination.  
Installing Glass Enclosure Panels  
(see Figure 56)  
1.Visuallyinspectthegasketonthebacksideofthe  
glasspanel.Thegasketsurfacemustbeclean,  
free of irregularities and seated firmly.  
2. Positiontheglassenclosurepanelinfrontof  
thereboxopeningata45degreeangleand  
engage the top flange over the lip at the top  
of the firebox opening. See Figure 56.  
3. Swing the glass enclosure panel down and  
back. Ensure the gasket seats evenly as the  
panel draws shut. Engage the Vee-flange at  
the bottom of the panel with the latches and  
close the latches to secure the panel.  
4. Reinstall top louver assembly and control  
compartment door see installation instruc-  
tions on Page 27, Reinstalling Control  
Compartment Door).  
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion  
in the flames and lack of combustion air enter-  
ing the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm  
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body  
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be  
adjusted between these two extremes.  
Do not attempt to touch the  
frontenclosureglasswithyour  
hands while the fireplace is in  
use.  
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines  
• If there is smoke or soot present, first check  
the log set positioning to ensure that the  
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.  
If the log set is properly positioned and a  
sooting condition still exists, then the air  
shutter opening should be increased.  
WARNING  
Do not operate appliance with  
theglassfrontremoved,cracked  
or broken.  
• Themoreoffsetsintheventsystem,thelarger  
the air shutter opening will need to be.  
Top Flange on  
Glass Door  
• An appliance operated with the air shutter  
opened too far, may have flames that appear  
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and  
transparent flames are termed anemic.  
• Propane models may exhibit flames which  
candle or appear stringy. If this is present and  
persists, adjust the air shutter to a more closed  
position, then operate the appliance for a few  
moreminutestoensurethattheamenormal-  
izes and the flames do not appear sooty.

Note: The burners are not identical. Position them so  
that the circular burner ports run as shown. Note  
especially the vertical run of ports relative to the pilot  
burner. Bracket A on the rear burner will interfere with  
the pilot burner if an attempt is made to install the  
rear burner in the front burner’s position.  
Step 13. Attach manometer to the manifold  
side pressure test fitting and verify manifold  
pressure reads 3.5 inches water column (0.87  
kPa) for natural gas, and 10.0 inches water  
column (2.49 kPa) for propane gas.  
ALWAYS TEST PRESSURES WITH THE VALVE
