CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum dis-
tances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fires is
failure to maintain required clearances
(air space) to combustible materials. It is
of the greatest importance that this fire-
place and flue system be installed only in
accordance with these instructions.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)

LOCATING YOUR
GAS STOVE
1) When selecting a location for your stove,
ensure that the clearances outlined on this
page are met.
2) Provide adequate clearances for servic-
ing.
3) The appliance must be installed on a flat,
solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, met-
al, concrete). This may be the floor, or
raiseduponaplatformtoenhanceitsvisual
impact. If the appliance is going to be in-
stalled on carpeting, combustible linoleum
tileorothercombustiblematerialotherthan
wood flooring, the appliance must be in-
stalled on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the appliance.

6) The PG36 Co Axial Flue Gas Fireplace is
approved for alcove installations, which
meet the clearances listed on this page.
7) We recommend that you plan your installa-
tion on paper using exact measurements
for clearances and floor protection before
actually installing this appliance. Have an
authorized inspector, dealer, or installer
review your plans before installation.
Note: For flue terminations see page 10.
WARNING
Fire hazard is an
extreme risk
if these clearances
are not adhered to.
For more Barcelona Framing and Installa-
tion Notes, see page 8.
BARCELONAFRAMINGNOTE:IftheBar-
celona Trim is to be installed, the
front face of the fireplace must be
made of non-combustible material.
See Diagram 1.
Diagram 1

Masport PG36-3 Gas Inbuilt 7
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in Diagrams 1, 2, & 3.
COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches) Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale. Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the
framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION
Note: 40-1/2" (1029mm) is the minimum
height for both flex termination or
Simpson Dura-Vent flueing.
5) BARCELONAFRAMINGNOTE:Ifinstall-
ing the optional Barcelona front, a non-
combustible material 12" (305mm)
above the unit and 6"(153mm) on each
side must be used. The Barcelona
Front also requires steel stud fram-
ing above and on each side of the unit.
See Diagram 3 on page 7 and Diagram
1 on page 6.
BARCELONA INSTALLATION NOTE:
When installing the PG36 with the Bar-
celona Trim into a Masport Style 3
Mantel Kit, ensure that the combusti-
ble mantel sides and top are 3/8"
(10mm) back from the front face of the
fireplace. See Diagram 2 on page 7.
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 flue to combustible
materials for flex (1-1/4" (38mm)for
Simpson Dura-Vent ).
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the flue to
combustiblematerialcannotbemaintained,
e.g. front top header.

FLUEING
INTRODUCTION
The PG36 uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co Axial system. The inner liner flues products
ofcombustiontotheoutsidewhiletheouterliner
draws outside combustion air into the combus-
tionchambertherebyeliminatingtheneedtouse
heatedroomairforcombustionandlosingwarm
room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be con-
nected 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 Co Axial Flue gas appliance must use it's
own separate flue system. Common flue sys-
tems are prohibited.

8) Slide the appliance and flue assembly to-
wards the wall carefully inserting the flue
pipe into the flue cap assembly. It is impor-
tant that the flue pipe extends into the flue
cap sufficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches
(32mm). Secure the connection between
the flue pipe and the flue cap by attaching
the two sheet metal strips extending from
the flue cap assembly into the outer wall of
the flue pipe. Use the two sheet metal
screws provided to connect the strips to
the pipe section. See Diagram 4.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
square and attach with wood screws (Di-
agram 5).
HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS
Install the flue system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included
with the components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the flueing system is at-
tached. If this is the case, you may want to
adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the
gas preferably on the right side of the unit
andtheelectrical(junctionblockisontheleft
side) on the left.
2) Co Axial Flue pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to con-
necttheflueing systemto theapplianceflue
outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an
available option that must be used in con-
junction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Co
Axial Flue GS system.
3) Putabeadofsiliconeinsidetheoutersection
of the adapter and a bead of Stove Mate on
the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the
existing inner and outer flue collar and
fasten to the outer collar only with the 3
supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lockprocedure:Fourindentations,
locatedon thefemale endsofpipesand
fittings, are designed to slide straight
ontothemaleendsofadjacentpipesand
fittings, by orienting the four pipe inden-
tations so they match and slide in to the
four entry slots on the male ends, Dia-
gram 1. Push the pipe sections com-
pletely together, then twist-lock one
section clockwise approximately one-
quarter turn, until the two sections are
fullylocked.The femalelockinglugs will
not be visible from the outside, on the
BlackPipeorfittings.Theymaybelocat-
edbyexaminingtheinsideof thefemale

b) Horizontal runs of flue must be sup-
portedevery threefeet. Wallstrapsare
available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the center-
lineofthehorizontalpipe.Cutandframethe
10inch(254mm) squareholein theexterior
wall where the flue will be terminated. If the
wallbeing penetratedis constructedofnon-
combustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete,a7"(178mm)dia.(7-1/2"(191mm)
dia. for flex) hole is
acceptable.
Diagram 2
Note:
a) The horizontal run of flue must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch (6mm) rise for every
1 foot (.3m) of run towards the termina-
tion. Never allow the flue to run down-
ward. This could cause high tempera-
tures and may present the possibility of
a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal flue termi-
nation on an exterior wall must meet all
local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Flue Terminal Locations, see
diagram on page 10.
6) The arrow on the flue cap should be
pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clear-
ances to combustible materials are main-
tained.Installtheterminationcap,diagram5.
The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding stand-
off or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of flue
pipe to the flue termination, slide the Wall
Thimble(Part# 620-926) overtheflue pipe.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner
pipe and high temperature sili-
cone sealant to outer pipe on eve-
ry twist-lock joint.
Note: With
Dura-Vent,
the mini-
mum height
is achieved
by installing a
90oelbow di-
rectly to the
flue adaptor.

OffsetChart
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
theminimumheight requirementsspecified in
Diagram 5 or local codes. Note that for steep
roof pitches, the vertical height must be in-
creased. A poor draft, or down drafting can
resultfromhighwindconditions nearbigtrees
oradjoiningrooflines,inthesecases,increas-
ing the flue height may solve the problem.
7) 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.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces,
which the flue passes through
must be enclosed.

shown in Dia-
gram 2 to avoid
cutting load
bearing mem-
bers.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the
floor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut
a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole as
showninDiagram 3 andinstall the firestop.
4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
5) 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-
bustiblesof 1-1/2"(38mm).Slip theflashing

This allows for small adjustments.
6) 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 (Diagram 2).

GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pres-
sures over 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regu-
lator 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" (# 3) and/or "OUT" (# 4)
pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise
with a 1/8" wide flat screwdriver.
3) Attachmanometerto"IN"and/or"OUT"pres-
sure tap(s) using a 5/16" (8mm) ID hose.
4) Seal and or check the pilot outlet (# 8)
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) When finished reading manometer, turn off
the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8"
flat screwdriver. Screw should be snug,
but do not over tighten.
