Orifice Size/Altitude Adjustment
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370
M),the orifice should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet
to maintain the proper ratio of gas to air. Improper orifice
sizing may result in damage and unsafe conditions. Chang-
ing the orifice should only be done by a qualified service
technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for
proper orifice sizes.
The Ravenna™ Insert
• Must conform with all local, state, and national installation
codes. In the absence of local codes, the installation must
conform with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest
edition, also known as NFPA 54 (In Canada, the current
CAN/CSA B149.1 installation code). Refer to the National
Fuel Gas Code and local zoning and code authorities for
details on installation requirements.
• Mobile home installations must conform with the Mobile
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 (in Canada CAN/CSA Z240 MH), or, when such a
standard is not applicable, the Standard for Mobile Home
Installations, ANSI A225.1 - latest edition.
• Must be vented directly to the outside in accordance with
the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code and must
never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid
fuel burning appliance.
• Has been certified for use with either natural gas or pro-
pane.
• Is not for use with solid fuels.
• Is approved for sitting rooms and/or bedrooms.
Fireplace Requirements
These heaters are designed to be installed into an existing
masonry fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards)
or factory built solid fuel, wood burning fireplace (listed to
UL 127 or ULC S610) only. All exhaust gases must be vented
outside the structure. Combustion air is drawn from outside
the structure. When installing in a factory built fireplace, the
fireplace grate must be removed and the damper must be
removed or secured open.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s)
provided, an access hole of 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) or less
may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the
firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with a non-combustible insulation
after the gas supply line has been installed. The installer
must mechanically attach the marking supplied with the gas
fireplace insert to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace
into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.
WARNING
THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN ALTERED TO
ACCOMMODATE A FIREPLACE INSERT AND
SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED
PERSON PRIOR TO RE-USE AS A
CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE.
IMPORTANT: When installing these appliances into a fac-
tory built fireplace or heat-form, the air flow within and
aroundthefireplace shallnot be alteredby theinstallation
of the insert (i.e. DO NOT BLOCK louvers or cooling air
inlet or outlet ports, circulating air chambers in a steel
fireplace liner or metal heat circulator).
Smoke Detectors
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in
any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If
possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent
to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false
activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If your
local code requires a smoke detector be installed within
the same room, you must follow the requirements of your
local code. Check with your local building department for
requirements in your area.
Codes & Approvals
CertifiCation
Gas appliances must be tested and certified by a nation-
ally recognized testing and certification laboratory to ANSI
(American National Standard Institute) gas appliance safety
standards.
This insert has been tested and certified by OMNI -Test
LaboratoriestoANSIZ21.88-2005/CSA2.33-2005Standard
for Vented Gas Fireplace Heater and CGA 2.17-M91 and UL
307B Gas Burning Heating Appliances for Manufactured
(Mobile) Homes in both USA and Canada.
