requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the
U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above
a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating
value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not
apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with the
local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.

A. Design and Installation Considerations
Heat & Glo B-type vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of
the building, and combustion air pulled from the room.
When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to
determine the following information before installing:
•Where the appliance is to be installed. See Sections 3
and 4.
•Thevent system configuration to beused.See Sections
5 and 6.
•Gas supply piping. See Sections 7 and 9.
•Electrical wiring. See Sections 7 and 10.
•Framing and finishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 11.
•Whetheroptionalaccessories—devicessuchasafan,wall
switch, or remote control—are desired. See Section 10.
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult local building, fire officials or authorities having
jurisdictionaboutrestrictions,installationinspection,and
permits.

B. Negative Pressure
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of fireplace and chimney
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heat-
ers and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks (recessed lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks)
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the fol-
lowing must be considered:
• Install the fresh air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combus-
tion appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are
not located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace.
• Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design;
attic hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic
mounted ductwork and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed.
• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fireplaces in basements.
Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 2.1, the chimney should:
• Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,
especially during lighting and die-down of the fire.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind turbulence.
• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, un-
even roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized.
Consider the fireplace location relative to floor and ceiling
and attic joists.
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot.
• Fireplace needs to draft properly for safety.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
gasappliance and/oritsvent system.Verticalventsthat run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required
to be, installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building.
These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements
of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be
checked.
Chasesshould be constructed in the manner ofalloutside
walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems.
The chase should not break the outside building envelope
in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts in cold climates, the firestops
shouldbecaulkedwith hightemperature caulkto sealgaps.
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the
appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of
plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting
cold up into the room.

feet in the U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above
2000 feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input
rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a
smaller size. Input rate should be reduced by 4% for
each 1000 feet above a 2000 foot elevation in the
U.S.A., or 10% for elevations between 2000 and 4500
feetin Canada. If the heating valueofthe gas has been
reduced,these rules donotapply.Toidentify the proper
orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500
feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
• Ensure that gas line does not come in contact with outer
wrap of appliance. Follow local codes.
• Incoming gas line should be piped into the valve com-
partment and connected to the 1/2 inch connection on
the manual shutoff valve.
