Fireplace Placement Requirements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
¥The 1/2" stand-offs on the back and sides and 6-1/4" stand-offs on the top of the fireplace are
designed to separate the fireplace from the framing members. These stand-offs may contact the
framing members but no material may be placed between the stand-offs.

Gas line (3/8" M.P.T. or 1/2"
F.P.T.) should be routed
6-5/8" behind the framing
opening and 1-7/8" above
the base of the fireplace (see
"Gas Line Connection" for
details).
43-1/4"
19-5/8"
46-1/2"
Route the electrical line to a
position at the right rear of
the fireplace.
If using a remote control or
thermostat, route the wire to
a location near the gas line
(include an extra 3' length for
hookup).
NOTE: if venting directly to the rear,
make sure there is a min. 8-5/8" space
centered behind the fireplace for the
wall thimble. If a 90¡ elbow is used
directly off of the fireplace, the thimble
will be centered 51-1/4" above the
base of the fireplace.
¥Fireplace must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the fireplace and vent
¥Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not on linoleum or carpet)
¥Due to the high temperature of the fireplace, it should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies.
Clearances
¥When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 4-1/2" to the side of the faceplate.
¥Fireplace must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of
the fireplace (e.g. drapes, doors)
¥Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked

The face template should be 1/8Ó larger than the
finished face. Attach the template to the fireplace using
the face attachment screws. Then while building the
face, use the template to support the face material and
ensure the facing does not overlap the face.
Face Template

Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1Ó gap betwen the
face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2Ó thick brick this works out to approximately 1-5/8Ó.

Vent Requirements
!Always maintain the required 1" clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
!The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
!If the fireplace is
installed at an altitude
over 3,000 feet the flame
quality will need to be
carefully evaluated. See
Addendum #1, "Altitude
Considerations", on page
44.
¥When the vent passes
through a wall, a wall
thimble is required.
When the vent passes
through a ceiling, a
support box or firestop is
required. When the vent
passes through the roof,
a roof flashing and storm
collar are required.
Follow the instructions
provided with the vent
(from Dura-Vent) for
installing these items.
Use a firestop spacer whenever
passing through a ceiling
(Duravent Part #963)
Vertical Termination (# 991).
Use a roof flashing and storm collar

¥Apply high-temperature silicone to the male section of inner
pipe (on the upper section of vent) so the silicone seals the inner
pipe from the outer pipe when the sections are assembled. Slide
the sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in
place. Install three metal screws through each joint to lock the
outer section in place (see the instructions included with the vent
for further details).
Apply a 1/8" bead of
high-temperature
silicone to the inner
pipe. The silicone
must seal the inner
pipe from the outer
pipe.

Approved Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position
¥A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures
proper combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be
required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations describe
which position the vent restrictor must be in.
Withe the fireplace cool, reach
below the burner pan to the left side.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
To Access the Restrictor:

NOTE: The fireplace is
shipped with the restrictor in
position #1 (fully open).
Determine the correct restrictor position (see the charts under
"Approved Vent Configurations" - the stock position is #1).
Lift up the adjustment plate and move it so the correct notch falls into
the slot on the adjustment bracket.
This restrictor is in position 1. This restrictor is in position 2.
