1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
In planning the installation for the heater it is neces-
sary to determine where the unit is to be installed, the
type of flue system to be used (straight out, corner, or
elevated), and whether optional accessories (wall
switchorremotecontrol)aredesired. Gas supply pip-
ingshouldalsobe planned.Refertotheappliance data
plate on the base pan of the heater for all gas pres-
suresand input rate information.
The heater can be mounted on any of the following
surface:
1. Aflatsurface(minimum6mmbase).
2. Four (4) corner supports.
(Example: Four(4) concrete masonry blocks). These
supports must be positioned so they contact all four
(4) perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
Heaterframingcanbebuiltbefore or after the heateris
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accom-
modate wall covering and heater facing material. The
heater framing should be constructed of 2" X 4" (51 x
102mm)lumberorheavier.Theframingheadersmay
restontheheaterstandoffs.RefertoFigure2and Fig-
ure3forheaterandframingreferencedimensions.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
This model is designed to operate with all combus-
tion air being siphoned from the outside of the build-
ing and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of
the building.
WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH
SOLID FUEL.
These units MUST use the flue termination described
in the flueing section of the manual.
Thecontrolsystemfor thesemodels area millivolttype.
It consists of a gas control valve/variable regulator, a
standing pilot/thermopile/thermocouple, a piezo igni-
tor, and an ON/OFF switch. The controls are located
behindthe lowergrille.Access to the controls is gained
by rotating the grille down. See Figure 1.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purpose of in-
putadjustment is 4.5 inches w.c. (1.13kPa) for natural
gas and 11 inches w.c. (2.75kPa) for propane. Mani-
fold(outlet) pressures should be set at 3.5 inches w.c.
(.8kPa) for natural gas models and 9.6 inches w.c.
(2.40kPa)forpropanemodels.

NOTES: 1. All distances are measured vertically or horizontally along the wall to a point
in line with the nearest part of the terminal.
2. Prohibited area below electricity meter or fuse box extends to ground level.
3. See clause 5.13.6.6 for restrictions on a flue terminal under a roofed area.
4. See Appendix J, Figure J1(a) and J2(a) for clearances required from a flue
terminal to a LP Gas cylinder. A flue terminal is considered to be a source of ignition.

1.2 FLUE SYSTEM APPROVALS
Thesemodels have fluestarting collars onboththe top
and the back of the unit. Depending upon the installa-
tion, decide which ONE set of starting collars will be
usedtoattachthefluesystem.Thestartingcollarsealing
cap must remain on the starting collar NOT used.
Thesemodels use SL-D-series direct fluecomponents
when using the TOP flue collars and D-series direct
flue components when using the REAR fluecollars.
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
andshouldbeusedinconjunctionwiththismanual.Figure
5belowshowsfluesystemcomponentsandterminations.
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
theflueing drawings and tables on the next fewpages.
Ifa 90° elbow is firstattachedto the unit, the maximum
horizontalrunis2feet(610mm).

Vertical Flue Restrictor
If the heater installation requires a vertical flue exceeding 4.5m above the unit with no horizontal flue or
elbows a vertical flue restrictor must be installed. See instructions with the BAF-VERT kit.
Installing Flue Components
Afterdeterminingwhichsetofstartingcollarswillbe
used (top or rear), follow flueing instructions
accordingly.
Flueing Out the Rear Flue
Remove the rear collar seal cap by cutting the
strap at each end (See Figure 16).
Next, remove the insulation from the rear flue, pull
the heat shield out from outside of the heater.
WARNING: THE TOP FLUE COLLAR

1. Attach the First Flue Component to the
Starting Collars
To attach the first flue component to the starting
collars of the fireplace:
•Apply a 3/8 inch (10mm) bead of stove cement
around the inner pipe heater starting collar.
•Make sure that the heater rope gasket sup-
plied with the heater seals between the first
flue component and the outer heater wrap.
•Lock the flue components into place by sliding
theconcentricpipesectionswith four(4)equally
spaced interior beads into the heater collar or
previouslyinstalledcomponentend withfour(4)
equally spaced indented sections.
•When the internal beads of each outer pipe line
up,rotate the pipe sectionclockwise about one-
quarter (1/4) turn. The flue pipe is now locked
together.
•Slide the ceramic fiber pad over the first flue

tinue to add vent components.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE

2. Continue Adding Flue Components
Tocontinueaddingfluecomponentsinaccordance
with the pre-planned flue system configuration:
•Ensurethateachsucceedingflue componentis
securelyfittedandlockedintotheprecedingcom-
ponent in the flue system.
90°elbowsmaybeinstalledandrotatedtoanypoint
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If
an elbow does not end up in a locked position with
the preceding component, attach with a minimum
of two (2) sheet metal screws.
3. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs - The flue system must be
supported every five (5) feet (1.5M) of horizontal
run by a horizontal pipe support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the flue pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.

For Vertical Runs
The flue system must be supported every eight
(8)feet(2.4M) above the heater flue outlet by wall
brackets.
To install support brackets for vertical runs:
•Attach wall brackets to the flue pipe and se-
cure the wall bracket to the framing members
with nails or screws.
Use wall brackets to support vertical runs every
8 feet (2.4M) above the heater flue outlet.

4. Install Firestops
For Horizontal Runs -Firestops are REQUIRED
on both sides of a combustible wall through which
the flue passes.
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass
througheither interior orexterior walls:
•Cut a 12-inch by 12-inch (305 mm X 305 mm)
hole through the wall for D-series or a 10-inch
by 10-inch (254mm x 254mm) hole for SL D-
series pipe. The center of the hole is one (1)
inch (25mm) above the center of the horizon-
tal flue pipe.
•Position the firestops on both sides of the hole
previouslycutandsecurethefirestopswithnails
or screws.
•The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE
placed towards the top of the hole.
•Continuethe fluerun through thefirestops.
NOTE: Theremust beno insulationor othercom-
bustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

For Vertical Runs -One ceiling firestop is
REQUIRED at the hole in each ceiling through
which the flue passes.
Toinstallfirestopsforverticalrunsthatpassthrough

•Position a plumb bob directly over the center of
the vertical flue component.
•Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of
theflue.

C. Flue Termination
ForHorizontalTerminations -Toattachandsecure
the termination to the last section of horizontal flue:
•Rotateandinterlock theendsas describedatthe
beginningoftheInstallingFlueComponentssec-
tion.
•The termination kit should pass through the wall
firestopsfrom the exterior ofthe building.
•Adjust the termination cap to its final exterior po-
sitiononthebuilding.
WARNING: THE TERMINATION CAP
MUST BE POSITIONED SO THAT
THE ARROW IS POINTING UP.
•Use the exterior pipelock hole provided on the
roundflangeofthewallfirestoptosecuretheflue

•Useahigh-temperaturesealantorfiberglassrope
gasket to seal between the pipe and exterior

•Reposition the heater and flue system, if neces-
sary, to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or
obstructions.
•Cut an 11-inch X 11-inch (280 mm X 280 mm)
for D-series or 10-inch x 10-inch (254mm x
254mm) for SL D-series pipe hole through the
