with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other
suitable combustible finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be com-
pletely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible
building materials can be laid di-
rectly on top of the standoffs. You
must maintain 1-1/2" (38mm) clear-
ance from the vent to combustible
materials for flex.
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
canvaryfrom1/2"(13mm)to1-1/4"(32mm)
thick.
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to
combustibematerialcannot bemaintained.

FLUEING INTRODUCTION
The P33R-1 uses the "balanced flue" technology Co Axial system. The inner liner flues products of combustion to the outside while the outer
linerdraws outsidecombustionairintothe combustionchamber therebyeliminating theneed touse heatedroomairforcombustionandlosingwarm
room air up the chimney.
NOTE: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and flue system must be flued directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate
solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each Room Sealed gas appliance must use it's own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.
NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside flue terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.
MASPORT DIRECT VENT SYSTEM (FLEX)
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
This flueing system, in combination with the P33R-1 Room Sealed Gas Fireplace, has been tested and listed as a Room Sealed heater system by
Warnock Hersey. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Flue Terminal Locations diagram on page 10.
Masport Direct Vent (Flex) System Termination Kit (Part # 946-513) includes all the parts needed to install the P33R-1 with a
maximum run of 2 feet. If installing the P33 with a continuous flue length of more than 2 ft (.6m) to a maximum of 10 ft. (3.0m) use
Kit # 946-125 (4ft.) or Kit # 946-516 (10 ft).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Masport Direct Vent System (Flex)
Minimum and Maximum Flue Clearances
INSTALLATION
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas(preferably onthe rightside ofthe unit)
and the electrical (Junction block is on the
left side) on the left. Locate the centerline
oftheterminationandmarkwallaccording-
ly.Cuta10"(254mm)holeinthewall(inside
dimension).
Note: To make the installation more aes-
thetically pleasing, we recom-
mend framing out a square to
mount the terminal to.
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the flue and the
outside corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap. See "F" on the
diagram on page 10.
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around
the liner must be maintained ex-
cept that only a 1" (25mm) clear-
ance is needed at the termination
end. We recommend framing a
10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm) (inside
dimensions) hole to give structur-
al rigidity for mounting the termi-
nation.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must
be used to ensure that the termi-
nation is not recessed into the
siding.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the
framing using nails or screws through the
nailing strips.
3) AssembletheflueassemblybyapplyingMill
Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
terminationand slippingthe4"(100mm)liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make
this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temper-
ature silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) flex
pipe and slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar
of the flue terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm)
and fasten with the 3 screws.
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble
and securely fasten the one with the tabs
totheoutsidewallmakingsurethatthetabs
are on top and bottom. Fasten the other
thimble half to the inside wall. The thimble
halves slip inside each other and can be
adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners
must slip over the collars a minimum
of 1-3/8".
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way
is up). This will position the termination cap
with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
6) Pullthecentre 4"(100mm)linerand outer6-
7/8"(175mm)lineroutenoughtoslipoverthe
flue collars of the fireplace.
7) ApplyMillPac overthefireplace innercollar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thim-
ble and termination and around the outer
edge of the terminal at the wall in order to
keep the water out.
WARNING:
When installing in a high wind situ-
ation, common sense must prevail.
Chooseashelteredsideofthehouse.
A non combustible water ingress
shelf will need to be fitting 200mm

INSTALLATION
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas valve is situated on the right hand side
of the unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand
side of the valve.
The gas line connection may be made of rigid
pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex connec-
tor. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the
valve can be removed for servicing.) Since
somemunicipalitieshaveadditionallocalcodes
it is always best to consult with your local
authorities.
Follow the current AG 601 and NZS 5261
standards.
When using copper or flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex
connectors are usually considered to meet this
requirement.
Diagram 3: The upper half of the flashing is
installed under the roofing material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed.
This allows for small adjustments.
VERTICAL
TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces)
tocombustibles whenpassing throughceil-
ings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter,
or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do
not pack air spaces with insulation. Check
pages 13-14 for the maximum vertical rise
of the flueing system and the maximum
horizontal offset limitations.
2) Setthegasapplianceinitsdesiredlocation.
Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to
the position of the appliance flue exit, and
mark the location where the flue will pene-
tratetheceiling.Drillasmallholeathispoint.
Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the
hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and
mark the spot where the flue will penetrate
the roof.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner
pipe and high temperature sili-
cone sealant to outer pipe on every
twist-lock joint.
3) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meet the
minimumrequirementsforclearancetocom-
bustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the flashing under
the shingles (shingles should overlap half
the flashing) as per Diagram 3.
4) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is impor-
tant to support the flue pipe every
3 feet, to avoid excessive stress
on the elbows, and possible sep-
aration. Wall straps are available
for this purpose.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof-
line due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashing until the height of the flue cap meets
theminimumheightrequirementsspecifiedin
Diagram 4 orlocalcodes. Note thatforsteep
roof pitches, the vertical height must be in-
creased. A poor draft, or down drafting can
result from high wind conditions near big
trees or adjoining roof lines, in these cases,
increasing the flue height may solve the
problem.
5) Ensure flue is vertical and secure the base
of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
6) Where required always refer to either AG
601 or NZS 5261:2003
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the flue passes through must be en-
closed.

Important: Always check for gas leaks
with a soap and water solution or gas leak
detector. Do not use open flame for leak
testing.

PRESSURE TESTING
The manifold pressure is controlled by a reg-
ulator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure,
both inlet and manifold pressures
should be checked using the valve
pressure ports on the valve.
1) Makesurethevalveisinthe"OFF"position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure
tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/
8" wide flat screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.
5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specified on the safety
label.
6) Whenfinished readingmanometer,turnoff
the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8"
flat screwdriver. Note: Screw should be
snug, but do not over tighten.
INSTALLATION
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Cor-
rect flame pattern has three strong blue
flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile,
1 around the thermocouple and 1 flowing
across the burner (it does not have to be
touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame
pattern, contact your Masport dealer for
further instructions.
Incorrect flame pattern will have small,
probably yellow flames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or
thermopile or thermocouple.
Note: Output capacity:
The efficiency rating of the appli-
ance is a product thermal efficien-
cy rating determined under con-
tinuous operating conditions and
was determined independently of
any installed system.
Flue height may change your
efficiency ratings.
