The gas fireplace is shipped with a 3/8” tube OD (male) connection. The gas supply piping should have a
separate gas shutoff valve and a 1/8” NPT plugged tapping upstream of the valve. The stove and its main
control 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 stove must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing the main control valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures
equal to or greater than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). After the gas supply has been connected, use a commercial gas leak
detector or apply a soapy water solution to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use a flame to test for
leaks.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If this appliance is installed in a dwelling, building or structure
used in whole or in part for residential purposes and the installation includes a horizontal vent
termination that is less than seven (7) feet above the finished grade in the area of the venting,
including but not limited to decks and porches, a hard-wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm
and battery back-up must be installed on the floor level of the dwelling, building or structure where
the appliance is to be installed.
Additionally, a hard-wired or battery operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm must be
installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure served by the appliance. It
shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the services of qualified licensed
professionals for the installation of hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors.
In the event that the horizontally vented appliance is installed in a crawl space or attic, the hardwired
carbon monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent floor
level.
In the event that this requirement cannot be met at the time of completion of the installation of the
appliance, the owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with the requirement. However,
during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with alarm must be
installed.
Each carbon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the above provisions must comply
with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 and IAS certified.
In addition when the vent termination is less than seven (7) feet above finished grade a metal or
plastic identification plate must be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum
height of eight (8) feet above grade directly in line with the exhaust vent terminal. The sign shall read,
in print size no less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF
ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”.
A COPY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS PLUS ALL VENTING INSTRUCTIONS WHICH INCLUDE PARTS
LISTS, AND/OR ALL VENTING DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS MUST REMAIN WITH THE STOVE AT THE
COMPLETION OF THE INSTALLATION.
ATTENTION INSTALLERS: Mark below which venting system was used in the installation. These
instructions must remain with the ECLIPSE Installation & Operation Manual.

Venting
The ECLIPSE Direct Vent Gas Fireplace has been tested and listed for installation with 4” X 6 5/8” Simpson
DuraVent GS/Pro®, Selkirk Direct-Temp®, Security Secure Vent™, AmeriVent Direct™, Metal Fab Direct Vent
and ICC EXCELDirect venting components. Although you may use the pipe components (straight pipe, elbows,
etc.) from any of the listed manufacturers, you may only use the vent terminations (caps) listed in the chart on
page 9. For installations where a snorkel is needed, please note that only three snorkels are approved for use.
Please plan your installation accordingly.
For all specific venting installation requirements, follow the installation instructions included by the venting
manufacturer with the venting system components you have chosen.
Please note:
•For venting configurations that include no vertical rise, a total horizontal vent run of up to 30 inches
(and including one 45° elbow) is allowed. However, if your installation has room to add a vertical pipe
section, we suggest adding at least one foot of vertical rise to the system.
•For venting configurations that include vertical rise, it is assumed that the installation will include at least
one 90° elbow. Up to three additional 90° elbows (or equivalent 45° elbows) may also be used. The
total venting may not exceed 20 feet of vertical rise and/or 10 feet horizontal run. Refer to the venting
charts starting on pages 10 & 11 for specific details while you plan your installation. Note: The number
of elbows impacts the maximum allowable horizontal vent run.
•Many installations will involve venting directly through standard 2 X 4 or 2 X 6 construction exterior wall
to a horizontal vent termination (cap). The vent starter pipe has been designed to accommodate those
two common installations without the use of any additional venting components other than a standard
horizontal cap. See the chart on page 9 for a list of approved vent caps.
•If the fireplace will be installed on an interior wall or other location that precludes venting directly through
an outside wall to a horizontal vent cap, or if the distance to the outside wall exceeds 30”, one or more
elbows will be required to allow addition of the required vertical venting to the installation. When vertical
venting is required, the fireplace venting may be terminated with either a vertical or horizontal vent cap
depending on the specifics of the installation. Refer to the venting charts starting on pages 10 & 11 for
specific venting requirements and see the chart on page 9 for a list of approved vent caps before you
plan your installation.
•There should be a 1 1/2” overlap of the vent and combustion air tubes, when telescopic joints are used.
•A minimum clear space of 1 1/2” must be maintained around the vent pipe where it penetrates the first
combustible wall adjacent to the fireplace (either the outside wall for the direct-through-the-wall
installation or the partition wall for the 45° or other interior wall installations). The special vent pipe heat
shields that are provided with the Eclipse must also be installed in the first wall adjacent to the fireplace.
A minimum clear space of 1 1/2” must also be maintained where the vent pipe penetrates any other
interior wall, exterior wall, ceiling or roof.
•The ECLIPSE may also be installed in front of an existing fireplace opening utilizing special co-linear
venting components available from the venting manufacturers. These systems split and then recombine
the co-axial air and exhaust and allow the use of flexible venting. This makes it easier to run the venting
through the narrow fireplace damper opening to the top of the chimney. Refer to the vent
manufacturers’ instructions. Use the vertical venting column (0 feet Horizontal Run) in the venting
charts to determine the required restrictor settings depending on the height of chimney.
Using Vent Charts
The location of the vent termination must meet the requirements of the current edition of ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, National Fuel Gas Code or CAN B419.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and the

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ECLIPSE Series 8901

requirements shown on page 15 of this manual.
Just as with any other vented device, vertical vent rise creates draft (negative pressure) in the firebox as the
exhaust gases heat up. If this draft becomes excessive, it can affect the performance or appearance of the fire.
The ECLIPSE fireplace includes air and exhaust restrictors that are used to balance the draft in the fireplace to
the optimal level for installations where excessive draft might occur. The venting charts on pages 10 and 11
provide an easy means for determining whether your specific installation requires inlet air or exhaust restrictors
or both. To make the determination about whether air or exhaust restrictors are needed, a venting chart
worksheet is provided on page 12. Follow the instructions and fill in the worksheet for your particular
installation. This will allow you to determine the recommended restrictor settings for your exact installation.
Although this might appear to be a complicated process at first glance, it is really quite straight-forward and the
result will be a fire that looks and performs as intended. Several examples of worksheet calculations are shown
on page 13 to help guide you.
Please be sure to note that:
1. There are separate venting charts for Natural Gas and LP Gas. Refer to the appropriate chart for your fuel
type to determine your specific restrictor requirements. The settings in the charts have been determined
based on extensive testing.
2. Determine the total vertical vent rise and total horizontal vent run for your installation. All measurements are
made from the center of the vent opening in the back of the fireplace.
3. If your fireplace will not be venting directly through an outside wall to a horizontal termination, or if more than
30” of horizontal vent run is required, some vertical vent rise will be required for the fireplace to function and
vent properly. Elbows will also be required for those installations. However, installations are limited to a
maximum of four 90° elbows (or 45° elbow equivalents).
4. Note: Two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow.
5. The recommended restrictor settings in the venting charts allow up to two 90° elbows (or 45° elbow
equivalents) to be used without affecting the restrictor settings. Additional elbows will require that you
calculate a new equivalent horizontal run for your installation to account for the additional flow resistance
caused by the extra elbows. For the purposes of calculating the equivalent horizontal vent run, each
additional 90° elbow is equivalent to three feet of horizontal vent run. The total horizontal vent run including
elbow equivalents cannot exceed 10 feet.
6. The maximum vertical vent rise cannot exceed 20 feet.
7. There are two exhaust restrictors that are provided with your ECLIPSE fireplace. They are labeled “A” and
“B”. The A restrictor provides less exhaust restriction than B.
8. An air restrictor plate is also provided with your fireplace. It is a ring with bendable tabs that can be set to
adjust the amount of restriction in the air supply system. Once the appropriate number tabs are bent open
(in accordance with the requirements for your installation), the plate is inserted between the fireplace and
the vent starter pipe.

Venting Installation
The ECLIPSE is shipped from the factory configured for Rear Venting. Stove may be vented vertically with the
addition of a 90° elbow segment.
Prior to connecting your vent system to the stove, please refer to the venting section beginning on page 8 of this
manual to determine whether your installation will require the addition of flow restrictors to the combustion air
inlet system or the exhaust outlet or both. Refer to the venting charts on pages 10-11 to make that
determination.
Air Restrictor and Exhaust Restrictor
If your installation does require an air restrictor or exhaust restrictor or both, these must be installed before you
connect your vent system to the stove. Again, refer to the venting charts on pages 10-11 to determine the
specific restrictor requirements for your specific installation. To install the Air Intake and Exhaust Restrictors
please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the top section and rear panel of the stove by unscrewing the 6 fasteners located on the rear
panel.
2. Remove the vent adapter and starter pipe, attached to the unit by 4 #10 Sheet metal screws each,
taking care not to damage the ceramic fiber gaskets.
3. The exhaust restrictor is installed by placing it through the exhaust outlet pipe and resting it on the
internal baffle in the firebox. It is held in place with a movable retainer clip. Simply hold the restrictor
down against the baffle and push the retainer up and tighten screw to secure the restrictor. Note: Please
take care to ensure that the exhaust restrictor is centered in the exhaust outlet. Improper alignment
could adversely affect the appearance of the flames. Refer to the adjacent photographs for placement of
the exhaust restrictor and clip. Replace vent adapter before proceeding to next step.

4. If the air restrictor ring is required, first determine the number of tabs that must be bent open. Before
bending any tabs, align the mounting holes in the ring over the four mounting holes on the back of the
stove. When selecting the tabs to bend, it is important to maintain the most symmetrical pat-tern
possible. The first tabs bent must be opposite each other and oriented horizontally. If only one tab is
specified, orient the ring over the pilot holes so the split tabs are oriented horizontally and bend up two
opposing half-tabs. Additional tabs should be evenly spaced relative to the first two. With the
appropriate tabs bent, re-align the mounting holes in over the pilot holes keeping the proper orientation
AND with the bent tabs facing away from the stove body.
5. Place the vent starter pipe gasket on the back of the stove, aligning the holes in the gasket with the pilot
holes on the rear of the fireplace.
6. Align the inner pipe of the vent starter pipe with the exhaust outlet pipe on the fireplace. The vent pipe
will fit tightly over the fireplace pipe. Gently push the starter pipe on to the fireplace pipe until the outer
pipe flange makes contact with the vent pipe gasket. Be sure that the holes in the starter pipe flange
align with the gasket and pilot holes. When the flange contacts the gasket, install the four #10 sheet
metal screws to secure in place.
7. Refit top section and rear panel.
Planning For Installation
Before you begin the fireplace installation process there are several important requirements that must be met.
Careful planning will make the installation easier to accomplish and will reduce the chances of encountering
problems after you start.
1. A hole must be provided in the wall for the vent to pass through. The hole must be large enough to provide
1 1/2” clearance around the outside of the vent pipe and to allow for installation of the vent heat shields that
are provided with the fireplace. Follow the hole size requirements that are provided below exactly to avoid
problems. If the location you have chosen does not allow for 1 1/2” clearance to wooden framing in the wall,
modifications to the wall structure must made to obtain the necessary vent pipe clearance.
2. All required minimum clearances to adjacent combustible materials (including side walls, ceiling and floor)
must be achieved with the position you have chosen. See the clearance information on page 6. The listed
clearances are measured from the outermost front edges of the stove body. In addition to the requirements
for clearance to combustible materials inside the house, there are specific requirements and limitations that
must be met for the location of the vent terminal relative to doors, windows, corners, eaves, gas supply
components and other structural elements of the house. Please see page 15 for those specific
requirements. Again, plan the installation in advance to avoid problems.
3. The gas supply line must be located within a specific area behind the fireplace. See figure below for
suggested location of gas supply line relative to vent.
Once you are certain that the location you have chosen meets all the necessary mounting and safety
requirements, you can begin the installation.

Vent Pass-Through (Parallel Wall Installation on an Outside Wall)
1. An unobstructed wall pass-through is required to allow for a safe installation of the fireplace vent
components. This will necessitate removal of a portion of the interior wall covering (e.g., sheetrock or
plaster and lath), outer wall sheathing and outer wall covering and any adjacent internal wall materials (like
insulation).
2. Scribe a 9 5/8” diameter hole around the vent pass-through center mark using a compass.
3. Use a long drill (1/8” diameter) that is held square and level to the inside wall to transfer the vent pass-
through center location from the inner wall covering through to the outer wall sheathing and outer wall
covering.
4. Carefully cut the inner wall covering along the scribed line and remove the circular wall piece. Note: It is
important to locate electrical wiring in the wall before beginning the installation process. An electrician
should be consulted if there is any question about wiring locations. Failure to locate and protect wiring
during the installation process my result in electrical shock or fire.
5. Remove any insulation materials from wall in the area defined by the pass-through hole.
6. Building codes in your area may require that you add blocking above and below the vent opening. The
blocking should be above and below the 9 5/8” vent opening you made in the wall and should not obstruct
that opening. The blocking should extend to adjacent wall studs.
7. Next, mark and cut a 9 5/8” diameter hole through the outer wall covering and sheathing using the locating
hole you drilled in Step 2.
8. Follow the instructions included with the vent termination (cap) to remove the appropriate amount of outer
