NOTE: (fig. 1)
** Island (C) and Room Divider (D) installation is possible as
long as the horizontal portion of the vent system (X) does not
exceed 20’ (610cm). See details in Venting Section.
* When you install your fireplace in(D) Room divider or (E) Flat
on wall corner positions (Y), a minimum of 6” (153mm) clear-
ance must be maintained from the perpendicular wall and the
front side edge of the fireplace.
Refer to (Y) in Figure 1.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the fireplace
ON.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool
down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat
exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least
ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit
has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position
during this time.

A hearth is not mandatory but is recommended for
aesthetic purposes. We recommend a noncombustible
hearth which projects out 12” (305mm) or more from
the front of the fireplace.
Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a
non-insulated exterior wall or chase,
it is mandatory that the outer walls
be insulated to conform to applicable
insulation codes.
Hearth
Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
fitted) and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths refer to
Figs. 3a and 3b, and the following Mantel Charts.
The fitting of a bay window trim kit does not effect
the distances and reference points referred to in the
diagram and chart.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such
paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent
discoloration.

Installation
1. Thread the wiring through the holes on the end
panels of the fireplace. Take care not to cut the wire
or insulation on metal edges. Route the wire to a
conveniently located receptacle box.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box.
3. Connect the other ends of the wire to the gas control
valve. (Fig. 6)
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear
of the appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts are
provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the
gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection.
It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the
rear right side of the valve as this allows fan installation
or removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe or an ap-
proved flex connector. Since some municipalities have
additional local codes, it is always best to consult your
local authority and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-B149.1 installa-
tion code.
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch
for the gas fireplace to the 120 volt power
supply.
Alternate Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on the front/side
of the access door. Simply mount the switch to the
bracket provided and screw the bracket to either side
of the frame, lining up the screws with the pre-punched
holes. (Fig. 7)
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro-
vide a 1/8” test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron
pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pres-
sure details and ratings.
Gas Line Installation
Remote ON/OFF Switch
When purging the gas lines, the front win-
dow frame assembly must be removed.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak testing.

sence of local codes, with the current CSA
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
For USA installations follow local codes
and the national electrical code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested that the wiring of
the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box be carried
out by a licensed electrician.
Ensure that the power to the supply line
has been disconnected before commenc-
ing this procedure.

box.
4. Feed the supply line in through the EB-1 opening in
the side of the appliance and then through the back
of the EB-1 assembly. (Fig. 8)
5. Connect the black wire of the power supply line to
the brass screw (polarized) of the socket assembly.
6. Connect the white wire of the power line to the
chrome screw of the socket assembly.
7. Connect the ground wire of the supply line to the
green screw of the socket assembly.
8. Refit the socket assembly back into the electrical
box and replace the cover plate. Secure the cable
with the clamp on the outside of the EB-1 base
plate and refit the EB-1 assembly to the unit with the
screw removed in step 1.
This appliance may be fitted with a Synetek ignition
module.
Installation of the remote on/off starter switch or
wall thermostat on electronic ignition units.
1. Thread the wiring through the holes on the side

The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the
relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of
the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 13)
locate the point intersecting with slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical
line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the
fireplace in accordance with same.
Example A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the
fireplace is 11’ (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face
of the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3 m).
Example B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is
7’ (2.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer
wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m).
How to Use the Vent Graph
Rear Wall Venting Applications
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may
be vented directly to a termination located on the rear
wall behind the appliance.
• Only CFM Corporation venting components are
approved to be used in these applications. (Refer to
“Venting Components” listed for different installation
requirements)
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear
of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a
corner application) and the outside face of the rear
wall is 20” (508mm). (Fig. 14)
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-
bustible materials are as follows:
Top - 2” (51 mm)
Sides - 1” (25 mm)
Bottom - 1” (25 mm)

Twist Lock Pipes
When using CFM Corporation twist-lock pipe it is not
necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas
of the venting system that need to be sealed with high
temperature silicone sealant are the sliding joints of any
telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the
beads of the male end with the grooves of the female
end, then while bringing the pipe together, twist the pipe
until the flange on the female end contacts the external
flange on the male end. It is recommended that you
secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws,
however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest
putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end
of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.

pipes and cut to length. It is very important that the two
pipes are flush with the outside wall once the fireplace
is in its final location. (Fig. 17)
STEP 4
Slip 4” and 7” pipes onto respective flue collars. Make
sure to fix to the fireplace collar the 4” pipe with three
(3) screws before fixing the 7” pipe on the 7” collar.
Both pipes must be on a level plane. (Fig 18)
STEP 5
Guide the vent termination 4” collar into the 4” pipe then
the 7” collar into the 7” pipe. Do not force the venting
into position. If the pipes do not line up with the termi-
nation collars, disassemble pipes and reattach to the
fireplace collar. (Fig. 18)

Vertical Sidewall Applications
Since it is very important that the vent-
ing system maintain its balance between
the combustion air intake and the flue
gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent
configurations apply and must be strictly
adhered to.
The Vent Graph shows the relationship between vertical
and horizontal side wall venting and will help to deter-
mine the various dimensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 1”(25 mm)
on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise
noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less
than 20” below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must
flush up with the siding. It is always best to locate the
fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of
offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent
pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of
the outer wall.
Rear Wall Vent Installations -
Flex Vent Pipe
Follow Steps 1 and 2 on Page 13.
Step 3
Install the 4” (102mm) flex vent pipe to the appliance
collars described in “General Information Assembling
Vent Pipes”, Page 11. If the installation requires a 45°
angle, grasp the vent pipe close to the appliance collar
and bend to 45°. DO NOT exceed 45°. (Fig. 19)
Install the 7” vent pipe in the same manner as Step 2.
NOTE: There must be a 1” (25 mm) rise in a 24”

Below Grade Installations
When it is not possible to meet the required vent ter-
minal clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level
a snorkel vent kit #7TDVSNORK is required. It allows
installation depth of down to 7” (178 mm) below grade
level. The 7” is measured from the center of the hori-
zontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
If venting system is installed below
ground, we recommend a window well with
adequate and proper drainage.
Ensure sidewall venting clearances are ob-
served.
The maximum horizontal run with 24”
vertical rise is 36” (914 mm) from the
back of the fireplace to the face of the
exterior wall. See vent graph (Page 12) for
extended horizontal run if the vertical rise
exceeds 24” (610 mm).
1. Establish vent hole through the wall. (Fig. 25)
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16”
(406mm) below base of snorkel. Install window
well (not supplied). Refill hole with 12” (305 mm) of
coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately
4” (102 mm) below snorkel. (Fig. 31)
3. Install vent system. See Page 13, Steps 2 through 5.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent
pipe coming through the wall.
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)
around the 4” and 7” snorkel collars.
6. Slide into the vent pipe and secure to the wall.
7. Level the soil to maintain a 4” (102 mm) clearance
below snorkel. (Fig. 31)

18

This Gas Fireplace has been approved for:
1. Vertical installations up to 40’ (12 m) in height. Up to
10’ (3 m) horizontal vent run can be installed within
the vent system using a maximum of three 90°
elbows.
2. Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the
horizontal run. For each 45° elbow used on the
horizontal level the maximum horizontal length must
be reduced by 18” (457 mm).
Example: Maximum horizontal length
0 x 45° elbows = 10’ (3 m)
1 x 45° elbows = 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m)
2 x 45° elbows = 7’ (2.1 m)
3. A minimum of an 8’ vertical rise.
4. Two sets of 45° elbows offsets within these vertical
installations. From 0 to a maximum of 8’ (2.4 m) of
vent pipe can be used between elbows. (Fig. 34)
5. 7DVCS must be used to support offsets. (Fig. 34)
This application will require that you first determine
the roof pitch and use the appropriate 7DVSKV (A, B
or F). (Refer to Venting Components List, Page 21)

Fig. 34 Typical vertical roof applications.
1. Locate your fireplace.
2. Plumb to center of the (4”) flue collar from ceiling
above and mark position.
3. Cut opening equal to 9³⁄₈” x 9³⁄₈” (240 x 240mm).
4. Proceed to plumb for additional openings through
the roof. In all cases, the opening must provide a
minimum of 1 inch clearance to the vent pipe, i.e.,
the hole must be at least 9³⁄₈” x 9³⁄₈” (240 x 240mm).
5. Place fireplace into position.
6. Place firestop(s) #7DVFS or Attic Insulation Shield
#7DVAIS into position and secure. (Fig. 35)
7. Install roof support (Fig. 36 & 37) and roof flashing
making sure upper flange is below the shingles. (Fig.
36)
8. Install appropriate pipe sections until the venting is
above the flashing. (Fig. 36)
9. Install storm collar and seal around the pipe.
10. Add additional vent lengths for proper height. (Fig
38)
11. Apply high temperature sealant to 4” and 7” collars
of vertical vent termination and install.
If there is room above ceiling level,
firestop spacer must be installed on both
the bottom and the top side of the ceiling
joists. If an attic is above ceiling level a
7DVAIS (Attic Insulation Shield) must be
installed. (Fig. 35)
The enlarged ends of the vent section
always face downward. (Fig. 36)
