Code Z223.1 latest edition.
GENERAL INFORMATION
HD5030-TV OR HD4240-TV IS A TOP-VENTED GAS FIREPLACE. IT IS DESIGNED TO
BURN BY DRAWING COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE ROOM THE UNIT IS INSTALLED IN
AND/OR THE OUTSIDE AIR KIT PROVIDED WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
THE EXHAUST FLUE GASES ARE TO BE VENTED THROUGH THE TOP-VENT USING 10"
B-TYPE GAS VENT PIPE.
THE CONTROL SYSTEM IS A MILLIVOLT TYPE THAT INCLUDES A ON-OFF SHUT-OFF
VALVE, A GAS CONTROL VALVE, A STANDING PILOT LIGHT ASSEMBLY, PIEZO IGNITOR
AND ON-OFF ROCKER SWITCH.
WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
NOTE: INSTALLATION AND REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSON. THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE INSPECTED BEFORE USE AND AT LEAST
ANNUALLY BY A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PERSON. MORE FREQUENT CLEANING
MAY BE REQUIRED DUE TO EXCESSIVE LINT FROM CARPETING, BEDDING MATERIAL,
ETC. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE UNITS CONTROL COMPARTMENT, BURNERS,
AND CIRCULATING AIR PASSAGE-WAYS BE KEPT CLEAN TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.
NOTE: B-Vent appliances are not designed to operate in negatively pressured environments
(pressure within the home is less than pressures outside). Significant negatively pressured
environments caused by weather, home design or other devices may impact the operation of
this appliance. Negative pressures may result in poor flame appearance, sooting, damage to
property and/or severe personal injury. Do not operate this appliance in negatively pressured
environments.
CLEARANCES REQUIRED
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR THE FIREBOX ARE:
1/2" ON THE SIDES AND BACK AND 0 AT THE BOTTOM. TOP CLEARANCE IS 3", SEE

GAS PIPING AND GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: THIS FIREPLACE HAS A HIGH BTU INPUT. GAS PIPING SIZE AND
DISTANCES SHOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR 100,000 BTU/HR INPUT.
All gas piping must be installed to comply with local codes, or, in the absence of local
codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Unions in gas lines shall be of ground joint type. Compounds used on threaded joints of
gas piping must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas. Gas piping must
be of sufficient size to provide a minimum natural gas pressure at the appliance of 7"
water column or 11" for L.P. gases for the purpose of input adjustment. The maximum
inlet gas pressure to the unit must not exceed 10" for natural gas, and 13" for LP gases.
If this unit is to be supplied with LP gas (bottled propane) the tank or bottle supplying the
gas must have a regulator that reduces the gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches
water column. The control will not operate with gas line pressure directly from the tank
and may leak gas due to this excessive pressure.
DANGER: OPERATION OF THIS UNIT ON LP GAS WITHOUT AN APPROVED
REGULATOR AT THE TANK WILL LEAD TO GAS LEAKS AT THE CONTROL VALVE
WITH POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Include a manual shut-off valve and union in the line so the control or heater may be
disconnected for servicing. Include a drip leg and a plugged 1/8" N.P.T. tapping into the
line also. The tapping must be accessible for the test gauge connection immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the unit. Use a soap and water solution or
liquid gas leak detector to coat each joint in the piping system and look for bubbles
which indicate gas leaks. Repair all gas leaks.
CAUTION: THE APPLIANCE AND ITS APPLIANCE MAIN GAS 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 PSI (3.5 KPA).
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
BY CLOSING THE EQUIPMENT SHUTOFF VALVE DURING ANY PRESSURE
TESTING OF THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES EQUAL TO
OR LESS THAN 1/2 PSI (3.5KPA).
DANGER: DO NOT USE CANDLES, MATCHES OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES
WHEN CHECKING FOR LEAKS. FUEL GASES ARE VERY FLAMMABLE AND IN
CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS, EXPLOSIVE . CHECKING FOR LEAKS WITH AN
OPEN FLAME MAY LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to determine where the
unit is to be installed, the routing of the B-type vent system, and whether optional
accessories are to be used. Gas supply piping should also be planned.
HD5030-TV OR HD4240-TV (with the use of the Outside Air Kit) can be installed
in a bedroom (in the United States) which has a total volume of unconfined space
appropriate to the particular installation. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 - (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code - (current edition),
and Local Building Inspector for the options allowed in obtaining an effective bedroom
volume of unconfined space.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:
1. A flat combustible surface
2. A raised wooden platform
3. Four (4) corner supports
(Example: four (4) concrete masonry blocks.) These supports must be positioned so
they contact all four corner edges on the bottom of the unit.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other
than wood flooring, the fireplace must be placed upon a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the unit.
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing
should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material.
The fireplace framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing
headers may rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 7.1 for fireplace and
framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: VERIFY FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, FRAMING METHODS AND WALL
COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent run can be planned.

Installing Chimney/Vent System
Model HD5030-TV & HD4240-TV are approved to be used with 10" B-Type Gas Vent. Under most
conditions the fireplace system will draw properly if the chimney height is determined in accordance
with the following guidelines:
Note: (90-degree elbows are not approved! Maximum offset angle must not exceed 45 degrees.)
Many manufacturers of B-Type gas vent offer “High Performance,” or “High Wind” caps. These caps limit the outlet
area for flue gases to expel and should not be used with this fireplace. In the event of draft related problems due
to extreme wind conditions a special wind ring is available.
1. If your chimney penetrates the roof within 10' of its peak, it must be extended at least 24" above your roof’s
peak and be at least 36" above the highest point of the roof opening (see below).
2. If the chimney penetrates the roof farther than 10' from its peak, measure from the center line of the chimney
to a point 10' away, between the chimney and the peak of the roof. The top of the chimney must be at least 36"
above the highest point of the roof opening (see below).
3. The 10' Rule of Thumb is a guide for calculating chimney height that works under most conditions. However,
many factors can cause the need for additional chimney height beyond what 10' Rule of Thumb would indicate.
Topographical factors can cause high-pressure zones, which prevent a chimney from drawing. This can occur if
the house is located in a low-lying area, in a valley or near the base of a cliff or hillside. The same situation can
occur if the chimney is near other steep roof lines or tall buildings. Areas with high winds also frequently require
higher than normal chimneys.
Certain styles of architecture tend to interfere with a fireplace’s draw. If the room in which the fireplace is located
has a very high ceiling, flue gasses may enter the room unless the chimney is terminated at a level higher
than that of the ceiling, even if the 10' Rule of Thumb indicates a shorter chimney height.
Note: Installations which will not allow the 10' rule to be followed must be submitted to Golden Blount
Inc. for approval. 1-800-833-1139.
Warning! This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning
appliance.
Note: A draft hood is installed and is the same atmospheric zone as the combustion air inlet to the
appliance and is located so that the relief opening is accessible for checking vent operation.

OPERATING GUIDELINES
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting
the pilot light, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the
purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light
and operate as indicated in the instruction manual.
Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not require
such purging.
IMPORTANT: THE APPLIANCE
AREA MUST BE KEPT CLEAR
AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS
AND LIQUIDS.
Visually inspect pilot periodically.
Brush or blow away any dust or
lint accumulations. If pilot orifice
is plugged, disassembly may be
required to remove any foreign
material from orifice or tubing.
Venting system should be periodically
examined by a qualified service
technician or agency to ensure proper
air flow.

LPG (PROPANE) WARNING
THE FOLLOWING WARNING APPLIES TO INSTALLATIONS USING L.P. (PROPANE GAS):
WARNING: To avoid possible injury, fire and explosion, please read and follow these precautions
and all instructions of this appliance before lighting the pilot. This appliance uses L.P. (Propane) gas
which is heavier than air and will remain at the floor level if there is a leak. Before lighting, smell at
floor level and/or use other means (such as using a soap solution on all piping and connections,
using a gas detector, etc.) to check for gas leaks. NOTE: L.P. (Propane) gas can become odorless
and CANNOT always be detected by smell. If you smell gas, detect a gas leak
or suspect that a gas leak exists, follow these rules:
1. Get all people out of building.
2. DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn electric lights or switches on or off in area. DO NOT use
an electric fan to remove gas from area. DO NOT use a telephone inside of building.
3. Shut off gas at L.P. tank outside of building.
4. Telephone gas company and fire department. Ask instructions. Before hanging up, give your
name, address and phone number. DO NOT go back into building.
If your L.P. tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at the appliance. After L.P. tank Is refilled,
appliance must be re-lit according to manufacturer’s instructions. If the gas control has been
exposed to WATER in any way, DO NOT try to use it. It must be replaced. DO NOT attempt
repair on gas control or appliance.
Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Any component that is found to be faulty,
must be replaced with an approved component.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance
clear of all obstacles and materials.

C. No gas or low gas 1. Check remote shut off
pressure valves from fireplace.
Usually there is a valve
near the fireplace and
sometimes there is a
valve near the main.
There can be more than
one valve between the
fireplace and main.
2. Low pressure can be
caused by a variety of
situations such as a
bent line, too narrow
diameter of pipe or even
low line pressure.
Check for kinked lines.
If none, consult with
Plumber or gas supplier.
If L.P. Gas is used you
may be out of fuel.
