provisions for adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate clearance around air openings of
the appliance. Never obstruct front openings.
 Provide adequate clearances for proper operation and servicing of the appliance.
 This appliance must be properly connected to a venting system.
 This appliance must NOT be connected to a chimney flue serving a solid-fuel appliance.
LOCATING GAS FIREPLACE
The venting system of this appliance must be installed in a location that is free of plumbing,
electrical wiring and heating or air conditioning ducts. Select a location that is accessible for
venting. See the ALLOWABLE TERMINATION LOCATIONS - page 36, in this manual.
VENT TERMINATION LOCATION
1.Establish a suitable vent termination location. (See ALLOWABLE TERMINATION
LOCATIONS - page 36)
2.In heavy snowfall areas make sure vent termination is located where it can not be blocked by
snowfall or snow from snow removal equipment.
3.Locate vent termination away from plants, bushes or any other object on or near the vent
termination that will interfere or obstruct the air flow around it.
4.DO NOT recess vent termination into walls, sidings or planters.
5.Vent terminations located below 7 ft (2130 mm) from grade level or anywhere that it is a burn
hazard to the public, such as patios and balconies, must be protected with an approved
termination cage.
Mobile Home Installation
Two holes are provided in the pedestal base of the unit to allow for anchoring down the
appliance. To access the mounts simply remove the pedestal back panel, or lift off the
pedestal valve access panel at the front of the unit. The pedestal back unscrews with 4 screws,
the pedestal front lifts off 2 hooks and 2 magnets. Lift up and pull towards you.

The torino Page 11
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas fireplace. The
line must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Upstream of the supply
connection, the fitter shall provide a manual shut-off valve.
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure-testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure-testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will damage the appliance’s gas valve.
Such damage is not cover by the manufacturer’s warranty.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cont...
Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set screw on supply pressure tap on the
gas valve with a small flat tip screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0
in. w.c. (3.0 kPa) for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c.
(3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE
PRESSURE.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you
have purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located
on the certification label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be
provided. All gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
Pedestal Access
The pedestal / gas controls can be accessed for
set up or servicing and adjusting. The pedestal
rear cover can be removed with 4 screws, while
the front lifts off 2 hooks and magnets. Use care
when removing these parts that you do not
accidentally scratch the paint on the pedestal
base. When the covers are removed, you
should have easy access for connections and
testing purposes. Re-install these components
after servicing, again, being careful not to
damage the painted services of the stove.

The torino Page 12
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cont...
WARNING: A minimum clearance of 1” to combustibles must be maintained
on vertical pipe runs and 2” for horizontal pipe runs (sides and bottom 1”)
Attach the correct length of vertical section pipe and an elbow fitting to the stove.
Mark the center line of the pipe facing the wall (allowing for a 1/4” rise per foot of horizontal
run). Example 10 ft of horizontal would require a rise of 2.5”.
NOTE: ALLOWING THE VENT PIPE TO SLOPE DOWN TOWARDS THE VENT
TERMINATION COULD CAUSE POOR COMBUSTION AND/OR HIGH TEMPERTURES
THAT MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD. Mark a 10” x 10” square around the center mark
(inside dimensions).
Cut and frame the exterior wall to accept the wall penetration heat shield. Install the
penetration shield using wood screws. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-
combustible material a 7” hole sufficient for the vent pipe, is acceptable.
Horizontal Wall Vent Terminations
The position of the horizontal vent termination must be positioned to meet all local building
codes (see termination chart on page 16).
Caution: When installing the termination on to vinyl siding, a vinyl siding kit must be
used. This prevents the termination from being recessed into the siding.
The rigid vent systems use twist lock connections. The adaptor attached to the unit
connects to the approved venting system. While you are assembling the pipe bear in mind the
best visual appearance. Seams should be aligned and hidden as much as possible. Make sure
you twist the mating section all the way to make a solid connection.
Note: As this system is a sealed system, a high temperature sealing compound must be
used to seal the metal to metal joint.
Apply a bead of high temperature sealant to both the 4”
exhaust and 6-5/8” intake section of the male pipe. The
female section of the pipe/fitting has four indentations
evenly spaced around the pipe. These indentations are
designed to slide over the male section of the pipe and
locate into the four entry slots of the male section of pipe.
Twist the female section clockwise a quarter turn to fully
lock the sections together.
High
Temperature
Sealant
(Mil-Pac / RTV)
When the termination is to be attached to vinyl siding apply a bead of non-hardening mastic
around the outside edge to form a seal between the standoff and the termination cap. Attach
the termination cap to the exterior wall inserting four wood screws through the holes in the
corner of the vent termination. Complete the installation by applying a bead of mastic around
the outer edge of the vinyl standoff.
With the termination cap installed you can now connect the completed vent assembly by
sliding the unit back towards the wall and carefully inserting the pipe into the terminal. Before
the final connection is made slide on the decorative wall thimble. Secure the termination cap by
securing the termination straps to the pipe as close to the exterior wall as possible using sheet
metal screws. Ensure that the straps are hidden by the wall thimble cover. Apply decorative
trim if required.

The torino Page 13
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cont...
Vertical Installations
Always maintain the 1” clearance around the vent pipe (vertical), when passing through
ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters or any combustible surfaces.
DO NOT PACK AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION.
Refer to the vent chart for maximum allowable vertical and horizontal installations.
When planning your installation determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will
obstruct the vent system. You may have to use 45° elbows to navigate around any obstacles.
When passing through a flat ceiling install a Box/Wall thimble. Cut a 10” square hole and frame
as shown in the diagram opposite.
Ensure all pipe sections are fully twist locked.
NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES BEFORE INSTALLING VENTING.
NECESSARY CLEARANCES AND REQUIRMENTS MAY VARY FROM STATE TO STATE
(PROVINCE TO PROVINCE).

The torino Page 14
Through Roof Framing
Maintain 10” opening relative to the pitch of
the roof.
10” square
Use a suitable round or square support
through the roof. Ensure adequate heat
shield protection is provided.
Termination Above Roof
Consult local codes for minimum vent cap
height above the roof, vent must be a
minimum 2’ from any wall.
To prevent water seepage install the
flashing with upper portion slid under the
roofing material and the lower portion over
the roofing material.
Note: Do not fasten down until the final
adjustments to the vent have been
made.
