Pre-installation
Preparation

When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine:
•Where the unit is to be installed.
•The flue system configuration to be used.
•Gas supply piping.
•Electrical wiring.
•Framing and finishing details.
•Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote
control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on any combustible
material other than wood flooring, the fireplace should be installed on a metal or
wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

to accommodate wall coverings and fireplace facing
material. The diagram below shows framing reference
dimensions.
CAUTION MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, AND

Flue System
Termination Kits Flue System Components
Figure 4. Flue Components and Terminations
A. Flue System Approvals
These models have flue starting collars on both the top
andthe back of the unit.Depending upon the
installation, decide which ONE set of starting collars
will be used to attached the flue system. The starting
collar sealing cap must remain on the starting collar
NOT used.
These models use SL-D-series, direct flue components
when using theTOP flue collars and D-series direct flue
components when using the REAR flue collars.
WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX D-SERIES
AND SL D-SERIES COMPONENTS IN ANY
FLUE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.
Approved flue system components are labeled for
identification. NO OTHER FLUEING SYSTEMS OR
COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation
instructions are included with each flue termination kit
and should be used in conjunction with this Installers
Guide. Figure 4 shows flue system components and
terminations.
Identifying Flue Components
The flue systems installed on this gas fireplace may
include one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The
relationships of vertical rise to horizontal run in flue
configurations using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly
adhered to. The rise to run relationships are shown in the
flueing drawings and tables on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. You MUST always maintain the MAXIMUM
and MINIMUM rise-to-run ratios in the flue system
when using 45° elbows.
