A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e.
sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces
are not limited to those that are visible and also include
materials that are behind non-combustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. Remember,“Fire
Resistant” materials are considered combustible; they
are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also,“fire-rated”
sheet rock is considered combustible.
Always maintain the proper clearances to allow for
the flow of ventilation air around the insert.

Vent Installation Procedure
This appliance must be vented through the chimney
by a pair of 3 inch flexible aluminum liners listed for
use with gas appliances. One duct is attached to the
exhaust port on the top of the unit and will carry
the exhaust gases to the outside of the house. This
exhaust liner must run the full length of the chimney
and be directly connected to the chimney termination
cap. See figures 6.1 - 6.2.
The other 3 inch liner will be attached to the air
intake port and will provide fresh air for combustion to
the unit. This liner must extend through the damper
area of the fireplace and at least into the first tile liner
of the chimney. (U.S. ONLY). This liner can also extend
the full length of the chimney and connect to the
termination cap. SEE NOTICES BELOW. See also figures
6.1-6.2.
NOTICE
If the intake flex does not extend the full length
of the chimney and connect to the unit and the
termination cap - A NONCOMBUSTIBLE BLOCK OFF
PLATE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE
THE UNIT BELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT
(normally at the damper area). See figure 6.1.
To avoid cross venting the insert, label the duct to
be used for the exhaust conduit at both the top and
bottom ends. This ensures that the exhaust duct will
be attached to the correct collar on the insert and on
the chimney termination kit.
CANADA NOTE: Both Intake and Exhaust ducts
must extend the full length of the chimney and be
connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

downdrafts. In such cases, increasing the height of
the vent or installation of high wind termination
caps may alleviate the condition.
• HORIZONTAL RUNS are not permitted anywhere in
the venting system.
• Venting liners CANNOT be less than 3” in diameter,
nor greater than 3” in diameter.
• Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used
as a passageway for venting PROVIDED the flue is
relined using 3” Listed Flexible Gas Liner.
• The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or
factory-built flue CANNOT be used to vent any other
appliance.
• Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed to any
living space.
• Installation of any components not manufactured
or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance
requirements will void all warranties and could result
in property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.
• Never modify any venting component, or use any
damaged venting product.
• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE
VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING,
AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING A
SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING APPLIANCE.
• The minimum vent height above the roof or adjacent
walls is specified by building codes. A general guide

7.1 Gas Supply Connection
The gas supply line connection is made to the valve on
the left side of the unit facing the front. The gas supply
line should be a minimum of 3/8” in diameter, or the
appropriate size to provide sufficient gas pressure to the
valve regardless of the input setting. See fig. 7.1-7.2.
The GI 535 DV IPI is shipped with a 36” length of
3/8” flexible gas line to ease installation and service.
However, for those areas where flexible gas lines are
not permitted, use of a 3/8” iron nipple and union is
recommended. See fig. 7.1.
The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is
acceptable in many areas in the U.S., however, Canadian
methods vary depending on local code.
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST
COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149.
An integrated gas cock is built into the fuel supply
line just upstream of the valve. This feature conforms
to building codes requiring a shut-off valve be located
within the same room as the appliance. The gas cock
allows for the disconnection of the insert for servicing
and maintenance. See figs. 7.2.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools
and sealing compounds (for propane units, be sure to
use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on
gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water
solution or electronic gas sensor. Never use an open
flame to check for leaks. Tighten or reconnect the
leaking joint and retest for any gas leaks.
INSTALLATION OF A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS
REQUIRED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH CODE 248 CMR.

7.4 High Altitude Adjustment
When installing this appliance at altitude above 2000
feet, it is necessary to compensate for the thinner air
(less volume of air per cubic foot). Higher altitudes affect
the atmospheric pressure and heat value of gaseous
fuels. The lower oxygen content in the air and the lower
gas viscosity require the use of a different orifice to
achieve efficient, clean combustion at the burner.
In the U.S.
THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN
AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE

7.5 Final Positioning
1. Clean the Fireplace.
Use a vacuum to thoroughly clean all debris from the
firebox. This will eliminate the potential for the insert

2. Blower Power Cord:
Extend the blower power cord out forward of the
fireplace, routing it to the nearest power source.
The cord can extend approximately 8 feet (244 cm) to
the right or 4 feet (122 cm) to the left. A compatible
10 foot extension cord is available from your dealer,
Jøtul PN 223253.
