GENERALINFORMATION
Models FR-14030, FR 14036, FR 14042, and FR 14048 are tested
and listed by PFS Corporation, Cottage Grove, WI, USA, Report No.
08-155. The 14000 Series models are top-vented, gas only fireplaces
that are listed for use only with the FIRE-LOG Gas Log appliance as
manufactured by Heatmaster, Inc. These gas appliances come with a
gas control valve that includes an automatic shut-off switch. The gas
valve has a standing pilot light assembly which is available as either
a standard safety pilot or a millivolt remote control pilot assembly.
The exhaust flue gases are to be vented through the top of the unit
with B-Vent piping. A ten inch (10”) diameter, double wall B-
Venting system and a listed vent cap are not supplied but are required
for proper operation of all FireRock 14000 Series fireplaces. See
venting instructions on pages 19 - 21.
WARNING: This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney
flue servicing a solid fuel burning appliance.
Intended Use Statement:
The 14000 Series is intended to burn propane (LP) gas or natural gas,
only. This appliance is not intended to be used as a primary source of
heat. The 14000 Series and its approved components are safe when
installed according to this installation manual and when operated as
recommended by the manufacturer. Unless you use Fire Rock
Products, L.L.C. approved components tested for this appliance you
may cause a fire hazard or serious injury.
Before you begin the installation of this appliance read these
instructions completely.
Fire Rock Products, L.L.C. disclaims any responsibility for the

3. Installation or operation in a manner other than instructed
in this manual.
4. Burning of anything other than the listed gas log unit and
the type of gas approved for use in this gas appliance.
Note(s): The most important areas of concern with the installation of
the top venting 14000 Series are clearance to combustible materials,
proper assembly of component parts, load carrying capacity of
underlying floor system, height of chimney system, hearth extensions
and the techniques employed in applying finishing materials to the
wall surrounding the 14000 Series fireplace. Each of these topics will
be covered in detail throughout this manual. Special attention must
be given to each topic as the installation progresses.

propane fuel tank of less than 100 lbs. capacity.
6. Do not install the 14000 Series fireplace in a mobile
home or recreational vehicle.
SAFETYINFORMATION(cont.)
17. Wherever insulation is used, the fireplace must not be
placed directly against it. Keep all insulation and vapor
barriers a minimum of three inches (3”) away from all
14000 Series fireplaces and B-Vent chimney components.
18. Insulation or vapor barriers, if used, must first be cov-
ered with gypsum board, plywood, particle board or other
sheathing material to assure that insulation and vapor
barriers remain in place. Do not pack or fill required air
spaces with insulation or other material. No material is
allowed in these spaces.

Remainderofthispageintentionallyleftblank.
Important: “Combustibles” are defined as “normal construction materials” and considered to be: wood framing
materials, particle board, mill board, plywood paneling, plywood subflooring and wood flooring.
The FR 14000 Series fireplaces are listed for installation with “clearance to combustibles” (shown at Figure 1, below)
as follows:
A: Zero inch (0”) clearance to the combustible floor;
B: One inch (1”) clearance at the FireRock firebox and smoke chamber sides and front ;
C: One inch (1”) clearance at the FireRock firebox and smoke chamber back wall ;
D: One inch (1”) minimum air space to combustibles at all B-Vent double wall chimney components’ outer layer.
CAUTION: Maintain three inches (3”) clearance to insulation and vapor barriers from all firebox, smoke dome and B-
Vent flue components’ outer layer.
Note(s):
1. The FR 14000 is designed, tested and approved for installation directly on a combustible floor system per the
installation specifications given in this manual.
2. All FR 14000 installations will result in the minimum finished fire brick floor of the firebox being at least four and
one half inches (4-1/2”) above the combustible floor system. The FR 14000 is not to be recessed into the combustible
floor system.
3. The combustible floor in front of the fireplace must be covered with a noncombustible hearth extension material set
tight against the fireplace front and extending at least twenty inches (20”) out from the finished front of the fireplace
and at least twelve inches (12”) beyond the finished sides of the fireplace opening (See page 28).
WARNING: Combustible objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept to a minimum of forty eight inches (48”)
clearance to the fireplace opening.

COMBUSTIBLEFLOORSYSTEMLOADING
Important: Floor framing for a FR 14000 installation will
need to be designed and built to accept substantial dead loads
spread over a relative small floor area. The following weights
and sizes can be used to calculate loading. It is the contractor’s
responsibility to provide adequate floor system load capacity.
FR 14000 Series Weights and Load Calculations:
Total dead load amounts include (but are not necessarily lim-
ited to) the following items and their corresponding weight
estimates as listed below:
1. FireRock unit model weights:
a. FR 14030 30” 1900 lb
b. FR 14036 36” 2100 lb
c. FR 14042 42” 2300 lb
d. FR 14048 48” 2700 lb
2. Approximate weight of log set: 100 lb.
3. Fire brick and mortar: 350 lb.
4. Facing material: per general contractor

FIREBOX ASSEMBLY
Firebox Assembly
The Fire Rock 14000 Series is designed
to sit directly on a combustible surface.
You must be sure the floor system is
designed to carry the load represented by
the firebox, mortar, and firebrick.
Set your baseplate being sure to align it
square to the room, properly centered and
level. In the event a raised hearth is
called for you may use dimensional
lumber to build an appropriate riser.
14000SERIESPALLET
ATTHISTIME
1) Install the angle steel Safety Shut –
Off Switch assembly across the top
of the opening angle DOWN and
the Safety Switch TOWARD the
INSIDE of the firebox..
2) Drill a ¾” hole for the High Temp
wiring harness
3) Drill a 1” hole for gas pipe feed.
The holes referenced at “2” and “3” may
be on the same side or opposite sides of
the firebox.
Line the firebox with firebrick. Leaving
the drilled holes exposed.
Find two Burner Pan Anchor Bolts and
embed them into the mortar bed under the
fire brick lining, (see X's)

Continue stacking side blocks and back
wall components as shown. Be aware that
the third and fourth back wall blocks have

DraftDiverter
Smoke Chamber Assembly
The first course of smoke chamber is four
components including the radius lentil.
After setting these four components you
will see an indentation that can receive a
cast iron, poker operated damper. If you
are installing a damper, place it here as
follows:
14030 24”Damper
14036 30”Damper
14042 36”Damper
14048 42”Damper
Damper is optional.
At this level the Draft Diverter is mortared
between the 1st and 2nd Smoke Chamber
course in a way that positions the v-
vented portion directly in line with the
chimney.
Thread the High Temp Wiring Harness
through the first drilled hole in the side of
the firebox pass it up along the side of the
firebox and across the top of the radius
lentil. It is acceptable to embed the wire
in the mortar that seals the next
component.
Stack the remaining smoke chamber
components as illustrated.
Gas Line Installation
A certified gas plumber must run a gas
line through the second drilled hole in the
side of the firebox for the purposes of
supplying natural gas (propane is
acceptable) to the gas log appliance.
Chimney Assembly
The Fire Rock fireplace kit includes a
chimney base which must be discarded and
replaced with the chimney base from the
Fire Rock 14000 Series pallet (item #1,
NEW Chimney Base).
The next step involves two (2) parts from
the 14000 Series pallet (Item #2, Chimney
Safety Flap and Item #3 Gas Vent Draft
Hood Connector) Place the Chimney
safety flap into the recess on the top of the
NEW Chimney Base, hold the flap open
and insert the Draft Hood Connector into
the hole. Secure with 3 concrete screws.
At this point please follow the instructions
provided by the specific B-vent chimney
you have chosen.
