graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.
Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3
ft. (914mm), e.g. wall straps.
EXAMPLE 1: If the vertical dimension from the center line
of the flue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2m),
the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed
16 ft. (5m).
For any vertical termination a minimum of 6 ft. (2m) vertical
must be used.
EXCEPTIONS FOR HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS:
*When installing the Topaz in a rear vent configuration

*The maximum horizontal vent run is 3 ft. (914mm).
*The maximum horizontal vent run with a 45° elbow is 2
ft. (609mm).
EXAMPLE 2: If the vertical dimension from the center line
of the flue vent is 21ft. (6m), the horizontal run to the outer
wall flange must not exceed 12 ft. 10 in. (4m).
4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914mm) of vent
pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1ft. (305mm)
of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from the vent pipe
run. A single horizontal to vertical 90° elbow is already
calculated into the allowable 20 ft. (6m) run. Each
additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal
distance by 3 ft. (914mm).

NOTE:
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for a
10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 5.5. Cut and frame the
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If
the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.
(1) Installation requires a minimum of 6 in. (152mm)

must include a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise. Never allow the vent
to run downward. This could cause high temperatures
and may present the possibility of a house or structure
fire.
(2) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an
exterior wall must meet all local and national building
codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed,
see Figure 4.4 on page 9.

flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb
bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling,
and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.
Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will
obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate the
appliance, or to offset, as shown in Figure 5.12 to avoid
cutting loadbearing members. When location is determined,
drill small hole.

Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 1 in. (25mm)
clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or
other nearby combustible surfaces. See page 16, Figure
5.16. Check the instructions below for maximum vertical rise
of the venting system, and any maximum horizontal offset
limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of
the vent graph (Figure 5.2) located on page 11.

Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the
vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum
code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-B149
Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes. Note that
for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased.
See Roof Pitch Table (Figure 4.3, on page 8). In high wind
conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or
down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or
switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this
problem.

Step 4.
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary
to reach from the appliance up through the round support
box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their
fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 5.
Step 8.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in
the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as
specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows
necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble
up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may
be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The
galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its
higher corrosion resistance.
Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the
top of the flashing (Figure 5.15). Use non-hardening sealant
above and below the joint between the storm collar and the
pipe.
Optional High Wind Termination Cap
NOTE:
Secure Flashing with Non-Hardening
Sealant and Roofing Nails
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions,
it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 ft. (914mm)
to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible
separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose,
Figure 5.12, page 15.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow
of flue gases and intake air.
Step 6.
Figure 5.15
Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding through
the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with
roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 5.14. Verify that the
chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof pitch
table, Figure 4.3, on page 8.

Step 2.
Oncethecenterpointofthepenetrationhasbeendetermined,
cut a 6 in. (152mm) diameter hole in the masonry. If the hole
is too large, the retro connector might not mount properly; if
the hole is too small, the appliance might starve for intake
air. If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut
and frame a 10 in. (254mm) square opening in the wall
(centered around the 6 in. (152mm) masonry opening). If
there is sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry the
10 in. (254mm) opening is still needed, but does not need
to be framed. If the hole is framed a round support box/wall
thimble is required. This allows the retro connector to mount
directly on the masonry and provide the correct clearances
to combustibles (Figure 5.25).
Step 4.
To determine the length of flex needed, measure from 3 in.
(76mm) above the top of the flashing down to the level of the
opening. Add the distance from the center of the chimney
out through the wall. Cut a piece of 4 in. (102mm) flex to this
length (extended to its nominal length). Be sure to leave 2-3
in. (51-76mm) of flex above the existing chimney to allow for
connection to the termination kit.

• Check all fittings and connections.
• Do not use open flame.
•
If substituting for these components, please consult local
codes for compliance.
• After the gas line installation is complete, all
connections must be tightened and checked
for leaks with a commercially-available,
non-corrosive leak check solution. Be sure
to rinse off all leak check solution following
testing.
WARNING
Gas Leak Risk.
•
Support control when attaching pipe to
prevent bending gas line.
Fittings and connections may have loosened
during shipping and handling.
NOTE: The gap between the supply piping and gas access
hole may be plugged with non-combustible insulation to prevent
cold air infiltration.
WARNING
Fire hazard.
Do NOT change the valve settings.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior
to and after starting the fireplace.
•
•
This valve has been preset at the factory.
Changing valve settings may result in fire
hazard or bodily injury.
Before making the gas connection, ensure that the appliance
you are installing is designed for the type of gas being
supplied. This information can be found on the Ratings Label
under the appliance. If the appliance has been converted to
propane (LP), the valve cover should have a label stating
that the unit has been converted to propane.
Omni-Test Laboratories listed gas appliances are tested
and approved without requiring changes for elevations
from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 feet in
Canada.
Connect the gas line at the 3/8 in. (9.5mm) pipe connector
on the valve at the back of appliance. We recommend
connecting the appliance with an approved flex gas line.
If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you must
connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. If the heating value of the
gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify
the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
You must supply a manual shut-off valve in a visible location
within 3 feet (914mm) of the appliance.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.

before you begin your adjustment. If your installation falls
within the range of the gray shaded area of graph, it may be
necessary to make an adjustment to the vertical damper to
improve the flame appearance in your appliance.
Figure 8.34 The shutter is located on the underside of the
appliance, on the right side. To adjust the shutter, loosen
the wingnut..
Moving the shutter bolt to the right closes the shutter. Moving
the shutter bolt to the left, will open the shutter. Opening the
shutter causes flames to become shorter and blue. Closing
the shutter creates taller orange/yellow flames.
Figure 8.32 TOP VENT INSTALLATIONS:
Locate the damper adjustment on the intake plenum. Access
through the appliance front. Adjustor is centered at the top
of the appliance.
NOTE: Do not close so much as to cause a sooty flame.
Improper adjustment can cause sooting in the firebox and/or
on the outside of a house with a horizontal termination.
Make adjustment:
Let appliance warm up before adjusting.
After adjustment, tighten wingnut to lock in place.
Loosen screw using a Phillips head screwdriver.
Pivot the vertical damper adjustor in 1/4 in. (6mm) incre-
ments while observing the flame activity.
Turning clockwise to open damper = less flame height and
more blue in flame color.
Turning counterclockwise to close damper = increased flame
height and more yellow in flame color.
Make adjustment until flame size and activity suits your per-
sonal preference, and then retighten screws on adjustment
control.
Figure 8.33 REAR VENT INSTALLATIONS: The rear vent
damper is located in the back of the firebox behind the rear
brick panel. It is recommended to make adjustment prior to

D. After Appliance is Lit
CAUTION
Initial Break-in Procedure
•
•
Prevent accidental appliance operation when not
attended.
Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent
or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of
time.
When you light your appliance, you may notice that it pro-
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If
you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three
to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second
burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation
on the glass is normal.
•
Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.
CAUTION
Smoke and odors released during initial operation.
NOTE: The appliance should be run three to four hours
on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the
appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure
the products used in the paint and logs.
•
•
•
Open windows for air circulation.
Leave room during initial operation.
Smoke may set off smoke detectors.
Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.
WARNING
Fire Hazard.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids
clear of appliance.
•
•
•
Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s
vicinity.
Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or similar liquids in this appliance.
Combustible materials may ignite.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
High Temperatures.
Keep combustible household items away from appliance.
Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.
•
Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front of
appliance.
Keep furniture, draperies away from appliance.
•
E. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms,
this condensation will disappear.
Blue flames
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance
is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours.
This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from
manufacturing. If appliance has not been used for some time, dust can build up and
cause an odor.
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be
cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the
manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance cleaner may be
necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down,
similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect
the operation or longevity of the appliance.

Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully
inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt lead
wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the other meter wire on the
thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If
the millivolt reading is less than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.

replace the defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires
across the switch wires at the gas valve. IF the burner comes on, the
wires are faulty or connections are bad.
b. Thermopile may
not be generating
sufficient millivoltage.
If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust
the pilot flame.
Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve ter-
minals are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot
bracket.
Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at TH-
TP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts
minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position,
with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace
the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the specified minimum.
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from
the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should
be 325 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is
below the minimum.
