GENERAL INFORMATION :
The ULTRA FLAME DIRECT VENT GAS STOVE is a high-efficiency free-standing gas
appliance with a maximum input rating of 30 000 Btu/h with natural gas or 26,000 Btu/h with
propane. It features a thermostatic modulating valve and a constant pilot. This means that the
flame will vary in height according to room temperature. The colder the ambient temperature the
larger the flames. The valve is also independent of any exterior electrical supply. Your appliance
will therefore continue to heat your house in the event of a power failure.
For increased efficiency, we have included a 140 CFM blower with speed control and thermo-
switch. Your fan will therefore turn itself on or off automatically, if you desire.
Read these instructions and consult your local building authorities before installing this
appliance. Install the unit and its venting system only as described in these instructions.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
This gas stove has been tested by WARNOCK HERSEY according to the CAN-CGA-2.22M82_
INTERIM #41 and engineering buletin #68 for Canada and ANSI Z21,50, 50A, 50B for USA.
It is mobile home approved.
The unit can be installed in a range of altitude from 0 to 4 500 ft (0-1 370 m).
This appliance must be connected to a venting system.
Use only with Drolet direct vent kit, supplied by manufacturer.

INSTALLATION
SAFETY NOTICE :
Improper installation may result in a house fire. Follow installation directions. Installation must
be in accordance with local building codes and with current CAN/CGA B149.1 & B149.2
installation codes for gas appliances.
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.
THIS GAS FIREPLACE MUST BE VENTED OUTSIDE.
The gas stove must be electrically grounded in accordance w ith the current CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code.
POSITIONING THE STOVE :
Always locate the stove as near as possible to an outside wall to keep vent length to a minimum.
Provide adequate accessibility clearances for servicing and proper operation. Never install the
stove in a hallway or near a staircase since it may block the way in case of a fire.
VENT TERMINAL LOCATION :
Your Ultra Flame stove vents through a vent terminal installed on the roof or on the outside of
any exterior wall of your house. Many restrictions apply to the vent terminal location that should
be considered before locating your stove.
The following drawing presents a summary of most of these restrictions.

NOTE: Local codes or Regulations may require different clearances
In addition, the following restrictions also apply.
When the vent terminal is accessible, a certified guard shall be installed around the terminal. This
guard is available as an option, identified as part #E5480, for straight and corner terminals and
#E5482 for the basement terminal.
The vent terminal may not be recessed into the wall or siding.
The vent terminal shall not terminate :
- Within 3 ft. of a building mechanical air supply.

CLEARANCES :

10
Clearance between the stove and any combustible material must also be respected while
installing your appliance. Clearance to the floor is 0".
Clearance between wall and the pipe is 1". Do not install pipe in an enclosed area or through an
insulated wall without a radiation shield ( no E-5710)
INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT
• Move the ULTRA FLAME to the desired position. Mark the location for the gas inlet pipe
and the location where the vent pipes will go through the wall. Remove the appliance.
• Route a 3/8" minimum NPT iron pipe gas line to the desired location.
• Install a shutoff valve to the gas line. Tighten securely using a pipe joint compound.
• Install a 1/8" NPT plugged tapping for test gauge connection immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the appliance.
• If you wish to make a direct electrical connection to the blower without using the six-foot
cord supplied, route a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical power supply line to the same location.
Remove the power cord and connect the 120V line as per the following procedure :
- Unscrew the speed control unit and pull a few inches away from the junction box
- Unscrew the two marr connectors attached to the cord (P) and the cord ground
- Remove the cord and route the supply line through the same holes
- Make the electrical connection with the same wires the cord was attached to
- Screw the ground wire to the junction box (G)
- Screw the speed control unit back in place

VENTING KITS
Once the position of the stove and the termination cap are fixed, you should select the venting kit
appropriate for your needs. First floor installations require either a STRAIGHT OUT kit or a
CORNER kit while basement installations must be done with a BASEMENT kit. Please note
that the BASEMENT kit can also be used on first (or higher) floors and it is possible to use up to
25'of pipe with a distant installation.
1) STRAIGHT OUT INSTALLATION:
- Make a 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" opening in the wall, 23-1/2" inches above the base of the
stove.
- Cut the radiation shield to lenght, if necessary and install as shown. Secure with
four # 10-1 wood screws.
- Install the vent pipe starting from the stove working your way out.
NOTE: All joints must be sealed with RTV silicone, 315°C. (600°F) temperature
resistance.
• Fix the 5" rigid pipe on the stove with three tek screws and cut to leave a 2-1/2" projection
over the exterior wall.
• Cut the 8" diameter pipe to be flush with outside face of exterior wall and fix it to the stove
with three tek screews throught the radiation shield.
• Seal the pipe joints with silicone
• The installation inside the house is now completed. The next step is to install the vent
termination cap following the instructions in the next section.
2) CORNER INSTALLATION:
- Make a 10-1\2" x10-1\2" opening in the wall 23-1\2" inches above the base of the
stove.
- Cut the radiation shield to lenght, if necessary, and install as shown. Secure with
four (4) #10-1" wood screws.
- Install the vent pipes starting from the stove working your way out.
NOTE: All joints must be sealed with RTV Silicone, 315°C (600°F) temperature
resistance.

1/2" projection over the exterior wall.
• Slip on the 45°x 8" elbow.

13
• Add a spring spacer. Spring spacer must be located opposite to the joints of the outside pipe
to prevent puncturing of the inside pipe when screwing two sections of the outside pipe
together.
• Add sections of 8" diameter pipe and cut it to be flush with the outside face of exterior wall,
and install them to the 45°elbow, throught the radiation shield.
• Seal the 8" diameter pipes and elbows joints with silicone.
• The installation inside the house is now completed. The next step is to install the vent
termination cap following the instructions in the next section.
3) BASEMENT INSTALLATION:
- Make a 10-1\2" x10-1\2" opening in the wall to the desired position in the exterior wall.
- Cut the radiation shield to lenght, if necessary, and install as shown. Secure with four
(4) #10-1" wood screws.
- Install the vent pipes starting from the stove working your way out.
NOTE: All joints must be sealed with RTV silicone, 315°C (600°F) temperature resistance.
•Fix the reducer 5” to 4” with screws and seal with silicone.
• Fix the 4" flexible pipe to the reducer with locking band and seal with silicone. Cut to leave
a 2-1/2" projection over the exterior wall.
• Slip on the 90°elbow facing upward.
• Add a spring spacer. Spring spacers must be located opposite to the joints of the outside
pipes to prevent puncturing of the inside pipe when screwing two sections of the outside pipe
together.
• Add 8" diameter pipe sections, including the spring spacers, to attain the desired height.
Secure with screws.
• Slip on the 90°elbow and horizontally the last section of 8" pipe. The pipe has to be cut to
be flush with outside face of exterior wall, them install it through the radiation shield.
• Seal the 8"diameter pipes and elbows joints with silicone.
• The installation inside the house is now completed. The next step is to install the vent
termination cap following the instructions in the next section.
