Approvals and
Codes
1
Appliance Certification
High Altitude Installations
The Heat-N-Glo fireplace model discussed in this Installers
Guide has been tested to certification standards and listed
by the applicable laboratories.
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved with-
out requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in
the U. S. A. and in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000
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. or 10% for elevations
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. 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.
Certification
MODEL: ESCAPE-36DV
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heater
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88-2000•CSA2.33-M98•UL307B
Installation Codes
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before
installing the fireplace, consult the local building code
agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all
applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in
the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes
(in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local

Getting Started
2
The Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat-N-Glo
disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat-N-Glo direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to oper-
ate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
•
Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system
component.
•
•
•
•
Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
Installation other than as instructed by Heat-N-Glo.
Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-
factured and approved by Heat-N-Glo, not withstanding
any independent testing laboratory or other party approval
of such component part or accessory.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any
unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged
separately and must be field installed.
• Where the unit is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.

CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MAY VARY WITH THE
TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILD-
ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.

Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,
and Space Requirements
Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in the
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air
drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside
building envelope in any manner.

This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantile-
ver floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air
infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per
regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Heat-
N-Glo recommends that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked
and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the firestops should be caulked to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being in-
stalled on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of
plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold
up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for
woodburning units if they are required.
* See Figure 3.
**The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 26).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction
is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to
the combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads
that secure the unit together.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THAT ALL
CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED
AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.

Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
Identifying Vent Components
These models are approved to use DVP-series direct vent
pipe components and terminations (see Figures 6 and 7).
Approved vent system components are labeled for identifi-
cation. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved com-
ponent of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside
an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection
openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required
pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYS-
TEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in-
clude one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The rela-
tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura-
tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings
and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must
be followed if 45° elbows are used.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent
termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this
Installers Guide.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type
of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

the tips of the pliers into the two holes in the restric-
tor plate. Squeeze the pliers to flex the plate. The
edges of the plate will need to overlap each other.
Insert the plate into the 5” collar from inside the fire-
box. Release the pliers, the plate will expand into
the bead (groove) inside the collar. Make sure the
plate is fully in the groove so the restrictor cannot
fall out (see Figure 9).

Facing Requirements
Step 11. Positioning the Logs,
and Placing the Ember Material
When finishing the front of the fireplace, combustible mate-
rial must never overlap into the face of the unit.
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged
separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the
logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.
There are two different ways the unit can be set and fin-
ished. Figure 28 shows the fireplace face flush with the wall
covering material. In this case a 12” piece of non-combus-
tible material must be placed above the fireplace, see Fig-
ure 27 (top). Use the nailing tabs that are set back 1/2”.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. To place
the ember material:
• Remove the ash lip that is located in front of the glass.
• Remove the side panels that are located in front of the
glass.
• Remove the pull mesh firescreen by unhooking from the
fireplace.
COMBUSTIBLE
O.K.
• Pull and release the four glass latches (2 per side) lo-
cated on the sides of the glass frame.
• Grasping the upper lip with one hand and the lower lip
with the other, pull the bottom of the glass out first. Guide
the bottom while letting the top drop down under the top
of the opening (see Figure 30).
Figure 28.
UPPER
LIP
The second way the fireplace can be set and finished is to
cover the entire face of the fireplace with non-combustible
material, see Figure 27 (bottom). In this case the fireplace
is set flush with the stud, see Figure 29. Use the forward set
of nailing tabs.

Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Step 13. Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
Double-check for gas leaks
!
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
After the Installation
LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH
!
Double-check for faulty components
THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 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 fireplace for
an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
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 fireplace’s initial burning.

Fireplace Maintenance
Checking Vent System
Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually
thereafter, more frequently if possible.
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main-
tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-
ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
fireplace maintenance task.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to
ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect
entire vent system for proper function.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING
YOUR FIREPLACE.
Cleaning Glass Door
Frequency: After the first 3 to 4 hours of use. As neces-
sary after initial cleaning.
