CALIBER BV DESIGNERS
1. APPLIANCE LOCATIONS AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS
igure 1 illustrates a variety of ways the appliance may be located in a room. The Caliber Designer Series may be
installed directly on the floor or raised on a hearth. These appliances are certified for installation in a bedroom, bed/
sitting room or bathroom in the U.S. and Canada, provided that the bedroom or bathroom has a volume of at least
1700 cubic feet.
Common venting of this gas appliance with other gas appliances is not allowed in multifamily dwellings.
Figure 1
Appliance Locations and Clearances
2. CLEARANCES
igure 2 shows venting clearances that must be
maintained around the appliance.
Figure 2
Venting Clearances to Combustible Materials
3. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
or U.S. installation, appliances are tested and
approved for elevations from 0-2000 feet. When
installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, United States codes require a decrease of the
input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to
a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each
1000 feet above sea level. Check with the local gas
utility for proper orifice size identification.
or Canada, appliances are certified for elevations
from 0-4500 feet. When installing this appliance at an
elevation between 0-4500 feet in Canada, the input
rating does not need to be reduced. When installing
this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet in
Canada, check with local authorities.
CAUTION:
Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

C. FRAMING
igure 3 shows a typical framing of this appliance using combustible materials. All required clearances to combustibles
must be adhered to.
Figure 3 - Framing
D. SETTING THE APPLIANCE
This appliance may be placed on a smooth
combustible or noncombustible continuous, flat
surface. When the appliance is installed directly on
carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than
wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth
of the appliance. Slide the appliance into position and
level the appliance from side-to-side and front-to-back.
Shim with noncombustible material as necessary.
Secure the appliance by bending out the nailing
flanges on each side of the appliance and nail to
framing. The nailing flanges have been positioned
5/8 back from the front of the appliance to allow the
addition of drywall.
CAUTION:
Provide adequate clearances around the air
openings into the appliance and adequate
accessibility clearances for servicing and proper
operation.
WARNING!
o prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation, the appliance
must not be installed against vapor barriers or exposed insulation.

28365 Rev E 6 01-02
CALIBER BV DESIGNERS
E. VENTING
VERTICAL TERMINATION
This appliance is designed and tested for use with a listed
5 inch B-Vent vent system.
1. CLEARANCES
Vent clearances are per vent manufacturers
specifications.
2. VENT LENGTHS
Various venting configurations are shown in igures4
and 5 from which maximum vent runs can be
determined.
CAUTION:
Provisions shall be made to provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
WARNING - RISK OF FIRE!
Always maintain minimum clearances or greater
around the vent system. Do not pack air spaces with
insulation or other material.
WARNING!
he horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4 rise for
every 1 ft. of run towards the termination. Never allow
the vent to run downward. his could cause high
temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
Figure 4 - Vertical ermination Vent Lengths
Figure 5 - Vertical ermination Vent Lengths
3. FIRESTOP SPACER/VENT
INSTALLATION
rame an opening and install a firestop spacer
whenever the vent penetrates a ceiling/floor area, as
shown in igure 6. rame the opening with the same
sized lumber as used in the ceiling floor joists. Unless
the flue is offset, the hole should be directly above the
appliance. DO NOT pack insulation around the vent.
Assemble vent sections with three screws per joint.

CALIBER BV DESIGNERS
4. CHASE/TERMINATION INSTALLATION
igure 7 and Table 1 specify minimum vent heights
for various pitched roofs. Vent sections may have to
be cut to a certain length.
These vent heights are necessary for safety and do
not ensure draft-free operation. Trees, buildings,
adjoining roof lines, adverse conditions, etc. may
create a need for a taller vent should down drafting
occur.
Figure 7 - Vent Height for Vertical ermination
able 1 - Vent Height
Note: To ensure proper operation, verify all venting and
that the termination is unobstructed.

Over 20/12 to 21/12 .................................. 8.0
5. CHECK VENTING SYSTEM
Check the venting system to assure proper operation.
This can be done with a match while the appliance is
operating.
Hold a lighted match at the bottom edge of the draft
hood opening. If the flames and smoke remain upright,
ventilation is acceptable. If the flames and smoke are
drawn into the draft hood, this means ventilation is
good. If the flames and smoke are forced away from
the draft hood, this may indicate a ventilation blockage
or down draft resulting in gas spillage into the home.
If this occurs, turn off the appliance and do not burn it
until it has been inspected by a qualified service
person. See igure 8.
. OUTSIDE AIR KIT INSTALLATION
An outside air kit is supplied as an optional feature
with this appliance. An outside air kit helps to decrease
the amount of room air taken by utilizing outside air
for combustion. It is strongly recommended that it be
installed.
The outside air kit can only be installed on the left
side of the GBST, GB L and GBCR, on the right side
of the GBCL, and on the bottom of the GBIS.
To install the outside air kit, refer to the installation
instructions provided with the kit.
Figure 8 - esting Ventilation
Note: The outside air kit can terminate at any level with
the exception that it must terminate at least one foot
below the vent termination cap.

F. UTILITIES
1. GAS LINE CONNECTION
Open the control access panel as shown in igures 9
and 10. See igure 11 to connect gas line.
All connections must be checked for leaks with a soap
and water solution or a leak detector.
Bleed the gas line for about 5 seconds to extract any
air that may have been trapped inside the pipe.
Figure 9 - Control Access Panel Removal
Figure 10 - Control Access Panel Removal
2. GAS PRESSURE
A 1/8 NPT plugged tapping is provided on the gas
control valve, near the outlet to the main burner
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection
to the appliance, accessible for a test gage connection.
Pressure taps are located on the top of the valve for
both inlet and outlet pressure.
Table 2 shows optimum gas pressure information.
Consult your local gas company for assistance in
determining the proper orifice for your altitude or refer
to ANSI Z223.1-latest edition, Appendix .
Note: The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pres-
sures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must
be isolated from the gas supply piping system by clos-
ing its manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

M. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. CLEANING THE BURNER AND CONTROL
COMPARTMENT
Keep the burner and control compartment clean by
brushing and vacuuming at least once a year.
Always turn off the wall switch (or remote control)
and gas valve before cleaning.
2. CHECKING THE VENT SYSTEM
est the venting system periodically to assure
proper operation. he appliance and venting system
should be inspected before use, and at least
annually, by a qualified field service person, to
ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation
air is not obstructed
3. CHECKING FLAME PATTERNS
Check the flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady, not lifting or floating.
he flame color should be blue with yellow tips. See
Figure 23. he ignitor (electronic) or thermopile and
thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be
covered with flame. See Figures 20 through 22.

vent may cause the flames inside the appliance to
lift or ghost - a dangerous situation. Inspect the
flames after installation to ensure proper
performance. See Figure 23. If the vent configuration
is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting,
shut off gas to the appliance and contact the dealer.
Note: The look of the flames and embers may differ
based on the type of fuel and venting assembly that is
required.
