To operate this hi-efciency replace as a basic system, the blower is not required, however, to enhance its
efciency a blower is recommended.
2.8 Hi-EFFiCiENCy HEATiNg
2.8.1 HOT Air grAViTy VENT SySTEm (Nz220)
All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.
May be used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either above, or beside the room containing the fireplace) by way of vents,
eliminating the need of an additional blower. While this system may be used in conjunction with the optional blowers, it could reduce
the flow of hot air being distributed to additional rooms. It must be
experimented with and the dampers adjusted manually
to suit your requirements. This may take a few attempts;
thereafter adjustments should no longer be required as
is normally experienced with your central heating system
registers. No more than two hot air gravity vents can
be installed to fireplace. Individual vent runs are not to
exceed 10 feet.

2.8.2 CENTrAL HEATiNg SySTEm (Nz62CH)
May be used to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the replace. A wall mounted thermostat located in the room to be heated
controls the blower supplying warm air from the room containing the replace. Consult with a heating specialist to ensure
a proper duct layout for your home. If the NZ62CH is installed at the
bottom of the replace, it could introduce a cool draft
into the room that the replace is installed in. When
attached to the
top or sides of
the replace,
it provides a
higher heat
output. This op-
tion may not be
used in mobile
homes.
2.8.3 BLOwEr CirCuLATiON (Nz64)
The NZ64 provides an ideal means of circulating warm air within the room it resides.
The blower will only operate when the doors are fully closed.
We recommend installing the blower in a different room or even a different level of the
house. This will generate greater air movement and improve the distribution of the
warm air coming from the replace as well as improving air movement in the summer
months if using the summer by pass switch option.
These options may be incorporated with one another. If the optional blower is to be
installed, make provision during framing to route a 110 volt power line to the replace.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each venting kit.

We recommend that the replace be secured to the
oor in all cases.
Remove and discard the lifting handles. Bend the tabs
down and secure the replace to the oor.
The location of windows, doors and the trafc ow in
the room where the replace is to be located should be
considered. If possible, you should choose a location
where the chimney will pass through the house without
cutting a oor or roof joist.

This replace, fully dressed, weighs 575 lbs. Ensure there is adequate oor support for the replace, chimney

Model NZ3000 has the option of taking outside air directly into the
replace through the opening on the left hand side or taking
inside air through the lower front grille or a combination
of both. Figure 3.2a-b.
If the optional outside air kit (available through your authorized
dealer) is installed, it must not draw air from the attic or garage.
It may only come from outside the house. The maximum length
of the 4" air duct is 20 feet; thereafter enlarge the duct to a 6"
diameter.
Decide on the most convenient location for the outside air inlet
duct and hood which may be installed above or below oor
level but must be installed above grade level.
Make a 5" hole in an outside wall of the house. From
outside, place the outside air hood into the hole, open side
down.
At each end, carefully pull back the insulation sleeve exposing
the exible duct. Apply sealant to both the outside air hood
collar and the connector collar at the replace. Place the
insulated exible duct over the outside air hood and over
the replace outside air connector. Carefully push the
insulation sleeve back over the duct. Using the clamps,
fasten the insulated duct into place on both sides.
Figure 3.2c.
Cold air ow can be minimized by
putting a dip or loop in the duct
creating a cold air trap.
Figure 3.2c. This trap can also
help prevent heat build-up and
exhausting out the intake due to
stack effect. The outside air kit
inlet should be positioned in a
manner that will not allow snow,
leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In
some installations the air duct
may need to be run vertically.
