Installation Considerations - Fireplace Installation
Guidelines
When planning a replace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
• If the desired location of the replace is compatible with the
required framing dimensions, clearances to combustibles,
venting requirements, etc.
• If optional accessories are desired.
• Routing of gas supply piping (vent-end entrance).
• Electrical connections - for IP control system or optional light
or blower kit (vent-end connection)
• Electrical supply requirements for IP control system or
optional light or blower kit. (120V, 60Hz, 1Amp) (Vent-end
connection)
The replace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A at hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. If allowed by local codes: A rectangular frame that contacts
all four edges on the bottom of the replace.
If the replace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood ooring, it should be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the replace.
This replace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance
enclosure. This means the combustible material can come in
contact with the top and side standoff spacers, and secured to
combustible framing using the framing brackets provided.

The glass and screen frame may be removed as a unit. It is
not necessary to separate the screen frame from the glass
frame.
2. Hold the blower assembly so that the magnets are on your
right side, and insert it into the replace through the opening
to the right of the junction box. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
3. Attach the magnet-side of the blower assembly to the outer
wall of the replace, and center it inside the replace using
the two holes in the oor as a visual guide. See Figure 1.
4. Set the rheostat control on the replace oor, with the
rheostat bracket situated as far to the right as possible. See
Figure 2.
Figure 2
5. Snap the fan control disc into the forked prongs on the valve
bracket. See Figure 3.
Figure 3
6. If more than one receptical is necessary in order to complete
the installation, unscrew the junction box from the locating
tabs so that it can be moved rearwards and plug the blower
cord into one of the two bottom recepticals. See Figures 4
and 5.
Figure 4
Figure 5
7. Re-attach the junction box to the locating tabs.
