THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERV-
ICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local
codes. In absence of local codes, install the BGD48 to the cur-
rent National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current
CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
Installation practices vary from region to region and it is
important to know the specifics that apply to your area, ie:
in Massachusetts State:
• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in
the open position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or gas
log.
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or
bathroom unless unit is direct-vent.
•WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts.
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, install to the current standard for gas
equippedmobilehousingCAN/CSAZA240MHSeriesinCanada
or the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for Manufac-
tured Home Installations, Sites and Communities Standard
ANSI/NFPA501A in the United States.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa). The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend-
ing the full width and depth.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must
be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with
local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current
CSAC22.1CANADIANELECTRICALCODEin Canada orthe
ANSI/NFPA70 NATIONALELECTRICAL CODEin the United
States.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Maximum input is 36,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 36,000
BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations
above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high alti-
tude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each
additional 1,000ft.
Maximum output is 23,500 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 65%.
The maximum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rat-
ing is 62%.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane.
Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for
natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. Mani-
fold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up
and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be
expected.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The BGD48 is factory equipped with
tempered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16". Use only re-
placement glass available from your Napoleon dealer. DO
NOTSUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.Cleantheglass afterthefirst
10 hours of operation with a recommended gas fireplace
glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN
GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean permanent
discolouration and / or blemishes may result.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with
your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate ac-
cessibility clearance for servicing and operating the
fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fire-
place.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-
nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or
vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo-
sure be 'finished', (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would any
other outside wall of the home. This will ensure that
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cav-
ity.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (at-
tics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with
the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to mini-
mize condensation.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS
venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths,
for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi-
nal locations for either system are set out in this manual
and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow
the installation procedure provided with the venting com-
ponents.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol-
lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422, or
1/12TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINALKIT GD410,8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD420 or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.
It is recommended to attach the Wolf Steel 45º rigid adap-
tor directly to the unit when terminating horizontally off
the back of the unit. This must be done before attaching
the desired vent system. Once this transition has been
made, venting systems must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace. FIGURES 3 & 4. The maximum allowable
horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical
vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 5" vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud-
ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when
using aluminium flexible venting.
When terminating vertically, restrictor plate W500-0205
must be installed. (Refer to Restricting Vertical Vents).
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace perform-
ance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times.
Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify
that it is unobstructed and undamaged.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before reinstalling the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed
for the 8" diameter flexible liner.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using
Wolf Steel flexible vent components.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk
or paved driveway which is located between two sin-
gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local
codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or
vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air
gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is
required for safe operation. Use a firestop when pen-
etrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all
cases using WOLF STEEL RIGID OR FLEXIBLE or
SIMPSON DURA-VENT venting components when vent-
ing.
Minimum clearance to combustible con-
struction from fireplace and vent sur-
faces:
fireplace framing 0" to stand-offs
fireplace finishing 4" to top of unit

frameaholeinanexteriorwall.
The recommended framed
opening is 147/16" Wx 13" H
with a minimum 121/2" round
orsquareopeninginsideafin-
ished wall.
See figure15.
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe
shield to the determined depth of the
combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied)
to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case of a
finishedwall)andsecurethe shieldthroughtheopeningto
the interior wall. The final location of the vent pipe shield
should maintain the required clearance to the 8" vent
pipe / liner.(See note above). Do notfill thiscavity with any
type of material. Apply a bead of caulking all around and
place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold
air from being drawn into the room or around the fireplace.
Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required
clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is
installed in its final position, apply sealant between the
pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
This application occurs
when venting through a
roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are
available from your Na-
poleon dealer. See Ac-
cessories to order the
specific kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame
147/16" W x 13" H openings in the ceiling and the roof to
provide the minimum 2 inch clearance between the fire-
placepipe/ linerandany combustiblematerial.Try tocen-
tre the exhaust pipe location midway between two joist to
prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the
centre of the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH
ANYTYPE OF MATERIAL.
A vent pipe
shieldwill prevent
any materials
such as insula-
tion,fromfillingup
the 1" air space
around the pipe.
Nail headers be-
tween the joist for
extra support.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equiva-
lent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the
openingin the ceiling. FIGURE 17. Afirestopmustbeplaced

The vent system must be supported approximately every 3
feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel
vent spacers or equivalent every 3 feet and either side of
each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼" clearance be-
tween the outer and inner vent pipes. Use Wolf Steel sup-
port ring assembly or equivalent noncombustible strap-
ping to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles
for both vertical and horizontal runs.
1. Move the fireplace into position. Measure the vent length
required between terminal and fireplace taking into account
the additional length needed for the finished wall surface and
any 1¼" overlaps between venting components.
2. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the
5" inner collar of the fireplace. Attach the first vent component
and secure using 3 self tapping screws. Repeat using 8"
piping.
3. Holding the air terminal (with the air deflectors to the top
and the lettering in an upright, readable position) insert into
both vent pipes with a twisting motion to ensure that both the
terminal sleeves engage into the vent pipes and sealant. Se-
cure the terminal to the exterior wall and make weather tight by
sealing with caulking (not supplied).
1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal In-
stallations", items 1 to 3.
2. Continue adding components alternating inner and
outer venting. Ensure that all 5" venting and elbows have
sufficient vent spacers attached and each component is
securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the 5" telescopic
sleeve to the vent run.
Repeat using a 8" tel-
escopic sleeve. Secure
and seal as before. To
facilitate completion, at-
tach 5" and 8" couplers
to the air terminal.
3. Install the air terminal. See item 3 of
the Horizontal Air Terminal Installation.
Extend the 5" telescopic sleeve; connect
to the air terminal assembly. Fasten with
self tapping screws and seal. Repeat
using the 8" telescopic sleeve.

5. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi-
nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of
the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly cen-
tred within the flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around.
Fasten to the roof. Do not nail through the lower portion of
the flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking.
Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flash-
ing with roofing material.
6. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2 inches
above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a
weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar
is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centred between
the air intake and the air exhaust slots onto the air termi-
nal. Tighten securely. Attach the vertical rain cap.
Spacers are at-
tached to the 5" in-
ner flex liner at pre-

In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for installation.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes
located in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the
holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the
fireplace be secured in all installations.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
FRAMING
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure
be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish
any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.

Do not kink flex connector.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.
Do not use open flame.
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or gas
valve to electricity (110 volts).
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before reinstalling the door.

1) Attachthe nailingtabs to the corner posts
using the 2 sheet metal screws sup-
plied. Secure through the centre of the
top and bottom slots in the nailing tab
and then through the existing holes in
the corner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow
these instructions:
Position the nailing tab so that the front
face is offset with the front edge of the
corner post (approx. ½"). Centre the
nailing tab vertically on the corner post.
Figure 36 a.
Drill through the centre of the top and
bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure
using the two sheet metal screws sup-
plied. This allows the nailing tab to slide back
and forth for desired framing. Figure 36 b.
2) To determine the final location of the nailing tab you
must first determine the thickness of your finishing mate-
rial (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from
the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once
the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the
centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal
screw*. Figure 36 c.
* Additional set screws may be installed.
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear-
ance needed. Curtains, above the fireplace, must not be
positioned lower than the 2" distance required for the 2"
combustible mantle. These same requirements apply to
any combustibles protruding on either side of the fire-
place.

PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers, exclusive to Napo-
leon Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing ef-
fect that is different in every installation. Take the time to
carefully position the glowing embers for a maximum glow-
ing effect. Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the

Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row
of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small
logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the embers
into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges
of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will only
glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care
should be taken to not block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified "glowing
embers" and PHAZERTM logs available from your Napo-
leon dealer.
