High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved with-
out requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet
in the U. S. A. and in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000
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 4,500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.

Getting Started
Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat-N-Glo gas fireplaces are designed to operate with all
exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the
dimensions, are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any
unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components are shipped in separate
packages. The gas logs are shipped in the fireplace and
must be unwrapped before firing the unit.
Read all of the instructions before starting the instal-
lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the own-
er’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat-N-
Glo disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
•Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system
component.
•Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
•Installation other than as instructed by Heat-N-Glo.
•Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
•Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-
factured and approved by Heat-N-Glo, not withstanding
any independent testing laboratory or other party ap-
proval of such component part or accessory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary
to determine:
•Where the unit is to be installed.
•The vent 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.

The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is1/2inch (12.5mm).
The metal ends of the fireplace may NOT be recessed
into combustible construction.
For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination
clearance diagrams on pages 20 and 21 in this manual.
Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace
is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
These models are approved to use PVFLEX series vent
pipe components and terminations (see Figure 5). Ap-
proved vent system components are labeled for identifi-
cation. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved com-
ponent of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside
an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection
openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required
pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYS-
TEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent
termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this
Installers Guide.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

These units are designed to either use house air or outside
air for combustion. For houses concerned with negative
pressure from appliances using house air, installing the
make-up air kit is recommmended. By doing so this
appliance will operate as a direct vent using no house air
for combustion.
The causes of negative pressure to a house can include
the following:
•Stack effect in the building.
•Exhaust only appliances (mechanically and atmospher-
ically vented).
•Inadequate make-up air (which is increasingly more
prevalent in new construction).
NOTE: Heat-N-Glo assumes no responsibility for the
improper performance of the fireplace system or other
appliances caused by inadequate draft due to
environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing
construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting
devices which create a negative air pressure within the
structure where the fireplace is located.
It is recommended that the building be mechanically or
passively balanced to allow atmospherically vented
appliances, such as gas fireplaces, to draft properly. If the
home experiences negative pressure or is likely to
experience negative pressure, connection to an outside
air source is mandatory.
A 4 inch side collar (see Figure 9) found in your termination
kit, must be installed on the fireplace by removing the cover
plate and attaching the side collar to the outer wrap as
shown (see Figure 10).
Step 4. Negative Pressure Make-up Air
Termination of the Fresh Air Duct:
The fresh air duct can be terminated directly adjacent to
or directly above the exhaust termination but, must be no
closer than 3 feet below and a minimum of 12” above the
grade.
Figure 11. Duct Termination Assembly
!
WARNING: IN ANEGATIVE PRESSURE
CONDITION (LIKELYTO OCCUR IN NEW
HOMES THAT DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE MAKE-
UP AIR) THE OUTSIDE AIR KIT MUST BE IN-
STALLED TO OBTAIN PROPER PERFORMANCE
AND TO HELP PREVENT SPILLAGE OF COMBUS-
TION GASES.

2. Continue Adding Vent Components
Refer to Termination Cap installation instructions.
•Continue adding vent components, locking each suc-
ceeding component into place using the PV-connect.
•Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system. Securing pipe sections with three screws
is recommended.
3. Install Support Brackets
Refer to Termination Cap installation instructions.
4. Install Firestops
For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both
sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.
NOTE: Model PV-HORZ CAP does not need an exte-
rior firestop on an exterior combustible wall. The
firestop is built into the cap.
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through
interior walls:
•Cut a 9” x 9” (229mm X 229mm) hole through the wall.
•Position the firestop on one side of the hole previously
cut and secure the firestop with nails or screws.
•Continue the vent run through the firestop.
NOTE: There must be NO INSULATION or other
combustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at
the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.
To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through
ceilings:
•Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the ver-
tical vent component.
•Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.
•Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.
•Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-
ing or plumbing runs.
•Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary,
to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
•Cut a 9-inch X 9-inch (229mm x 229mm) hole through
the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.
•Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as
the ceiling joists.

Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
of the fireplace:
•Slide the first vent section of pipe onto the starting col-
lar until it covers the entire starting collar.
•Tighten the hose clamp to secure the pipe to the start-
ing collar.
•Using self tapping screws secure the pipe to the collar
with three screws.

For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install
the vent sections:
•Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside
of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.
•Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint
nail.
•The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on
the pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm)
clearance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible mate-
rials.
•Mark the roof hole accordingly.
•Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.
•Cut and frame the roof hole.
•Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters
and install the frame securely. Flashing anchored to the
frame must withstand heavy winds.
•Continue to install concentric vent sections up through
the roof hole (for inside vent installations) or up past the
roof line until you reach the appropriate distance above
the roof (for outside terminations).
WARNING: MAJOR U.S. BUILDING CODES
SPECIFY MINIMUM CHIMNEY AND/OR VENT
HEIGHT ABOVE THE ROOF TOP. THESE MINIMUM
HEIGHTS ARE NECESSARY IN THE INTEREST OF
SAFETY. SEE THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM FOR
MINIMUM HEIGHTS, PROVIDED THE TERMINA-
TION CAP IS AT LEAST 20 INCHES FROM AVER-
TICAL WALL AND 2-FEET BELOW AHORIZONTAL
OVERHANG.
NOTE: This also pertains to vertical vent systems in-
stalled on the outside of the building.

To seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the
vent system:
•Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non-
hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base
where it meets the roof.
•Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a
water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the
joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.
•Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe
and snap into place.

Step 4. Positioning, Leveling, and Securing
the Fireplace
•Place the fireplace into position.
•Level the fireplace from side to side and from front to
back.
•Shim the fireplace with non-combustible material, such
as sheet metal, as necessary.
•Secure the fireplace to the framing by nailing or screw-
ing.
•Holes are provided in the base pan for securing the unit
to the floor.

•Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and
pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the
pipe and the outer casing.
•At the gas line access hole the gap between the supply
piping and gas access hole can be plugged with non-
combustible insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.
Step 6. The Gas Supply Line
NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality.
(In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation
must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas
fitter).
NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas
supply line should be purged of any trapped air.
NOTE: Consult local building codes to properly size
the gas supply line leading to the 1/2 inch
(13 mm) hook-up at the unit.
This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 inch
(13 mm) gas supply line. To install the gas supply line:
•A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved)
1/2 inch (13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a
listed flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2
inch (13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substi-
tuting for these components, please consult local codes
for compliance.
•Locate the gas line access hole in the outer casing of
the fireplace.
•The gas line may be run from either side of the fireplace
provided the hole in the outer wrap does not exceed 2” in
diameter and it does not penetrate the actual firebox.
•Open the fireplace lower grille, insert the gas supply line
through the gas line hole, and connect it to the shut-off
valve.
•When attaching the pipe, support the control so that the
lines are not bent or torn.
•After the gas line installation is complete, all connec-
tions must be tightened and checked for leaks with a
commercially available, non-corrosive leak check solu-
tion. Be sure to rinse off all leak check solution following
testing.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

Maximum Inlet 14.0inches 14.0inches
GasPressure w.c. w.c.
Manifold 3.5inches 10.0inches
Pressure w.c. w.c.
A one-eighth (1/8) inch (3 mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping is
provided on the inlet and outlet side of the gas control for
a test gauge connection to measure the manifold pressure.
The fireplace and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).
The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).
