Installation
Prior to Installation
Locate the Fireplace
Keep the following factors in mind when selecting a location for the fireplace:
Fireplace clearance requirements (review “General Clearances” sections starting on page 18).
Heat release and air intake requirements (review “Heat Release” section on page 23 and “Air Intake” section on page 25).
Adequate space for servicing.
Access panel recommendations (review “Access Panel” section on page 29).
Minimum vertical vent rise, allowed horizontal lengths, and elbow usage (review “Venting” section starting on page 35).
Framing and finishing requirements (review “Framing” starting on page 11 and “Finishing” section starting on page 33).
Front wall installation and finishes to be completed after fireplace and vent installation (review “Step-By-Step Chase
Construction” section).
Floor or Platform requirements (review “Chase Floor/Platform” section on page 17).
Fireplace Installation
Use the following guidelines to ensure a smooth installation. The installation sequence is divided into three phases: Planning,
Installation, and Startup.
First Trip to Site: Planning
Consult with the contractor and go over all requirements:
Chase framing requirements.
5/8” Type X Drywall (or equivalent) requirements.
Heat release requirements.
Air Intake requirements (if applicable).
Access panel size and location.
Gas and electric specs and location.
Vent configuration.
Finishing details.
NOTE: Provide the contractor with a printed copy of the “Building Checklist” and review requirements with them.
Second Trip to Site: Installation
Confirm the following items are properly located and built to specification:
Framing (with
5/8” Type X Drywall)
Platform
Gas and electric
Access panel (if applicable)
Heat release
Air intake (if applicable)
Clear a path free of any possible obstruction to carry in the fireplace.
Uncrate the fireplace and set in place.
Secure the fireplace by attaching the seismic brackets to the framing. See “Securing the Fireplace” section on the next page.
Remove plastic sleeve covering pilot tube and electrical wires.
Remove all zip ties.
Optional: Remove gas and electrical components from metal shipping plate if desired.
Move the components to the access panel location. Be mindful of the routing for future service needs.
Verify the light grounding cable is connected to the firebox.
Install the vent components. See “Vent Installation” section on the next page.
Review the front wall requirements (see “Step-By-Step Chase Construction” section on page 32) and finishing details with
the contractor.
Protect the fireplace and components from damage.
WARNING: HANDLING SPACE CREATOR FIREPLACES
The Space Creator fireplace must be handled with care due to its special and sensitive shape. Do not remove the securing brackets
before installation. After removing the securing brackets, the appliance must be treated with care to maintain its leveled shape. Do
not shake, throw, stand, or put weight on it.
WARNING: LIP INSTALLATION IN H FIREPLACES
To ensure the glass is removable after installation, Magnetic Screw (Part #M03) under the fireplace lip must be secured tightly to the
firebox and screwed in as far as possible prior to installation of framing and finish material. If the magnet is not completely screwed
down into the firebox, the lip will sit ajar to the firebox, preventing glass removal.

8
Securing the Fireplace
During shipping, two L-shaped seismic brackets are attached from the fireplace to the
crating for stabilization. These brackets must be re-used during installation to secure
the fireplace to the back (or side) framing. It is crucial to the finishing that the fireplace
is stable, level, and plumb. For added stability (though not required), re-use the leg
shipping brackets to secure the legs of the fireplace to floor/platform.
Vent Installation
Venting must be installed according to the requirements detailed in the “Venting” section
of this manual in conjunction with the vent system manufacturer’s installation
instructions. Venting must be supported by the structural surrounding and not by the
fireplace. Each offset (elbow) must be strapped to reduce movement or possible
disconnection.
The first section of venting must be secured to the fireplace starter collar with a minimum
of 3 sheet metal screws no longer than ½”. DO NOT use silicone to seal the sections. If
sealing is required by the vent manufacturer or local code, use Mil-Pac sealant.
Seismic Bracket
Third Trip to Site: Startup
Perform a visual inspection to confirm that all work was completed correctly and per specification.
Confirm that gas and electric are properly connected and live and operating the specs specified within this manual.
Remove the safety barrier and glass and clean the inside of the fireplace.
Install the Interior Design Media (if desired) on the burner as specified in “Interior Design Media” section starting on page
58.
Confirm the fireplace is operating properly.
Check remote-control setup.
Remove protective layer from glass.
Clean glass.
Reinstall the glass and safety barrier.
Review operation of the fireplace and remote control with the owner.
Set up return visit to clean glass after the Initial Burning Period (see “Post-Installation” section on the next page).
Working with Glass Panels
Inner glass panel is 5mm ceramic glass. For fireplaces with a double glass heat barrier, exterior glass panel is 3/16” tempered glass.
Silicone comes pre-applied to any glass-to-glass connections (multi-sided models), on both sides of the glass. Keep the following
guidelines in mind when handling silicone and glass panels:
The purpose of the silicone is to create a gasket, not to “glue” the glass panels together. When placing glass panels, ensure that the
glass is fully in place and that the silicone is filling the space between the glass panels. Place the front (or center) panel in place first
and then slide the side panel into place so that the silicone edge touches the glass edge.
Re-apply silicone only if the original silicone is damaged
(Rutland 500˚Clear Silicone is recommended).
If new silicone is applied, cure time is 24 hours before
operation of the fireplace.
Do not use silicone to seal the glass after it is in place.
Always use appropriate materials and cleaning agents
to clean glass. Ammonia free glass cleaners and/or
ceramic glass cleaners are recommended.

Post-Installation
Complete the following post-installation steps upon 4th trip to site.
Initial Burning Period
There is a 12-hour minimum burning period following installation of the fireplace. This 12-hour period must include a minimum of 4
consecutive hours of continuous burning. During this time, the owner or installer may notice:
The glass developing a white or “cloudy” residue.
An unusual smell
Both the residue and the smell are due to the paint on the fireplace metal heating and “burning off”. This is normal. The cloudiness
and odor will disappear after the 12-hour period elapses and the installer returns to service the fireplace and complete startup.
Final Inspection Procedure
When the 12-hour burning period is complete, the installer must return and perform the final inspection, which includes:
Cleaning the glass with a ceramic glass cleaner (otherwise the white residue will remain)
Checking the interior media setup
Checking for gas leaks
Adjusting the restrictor (if necessary)
Performing an overall check to make sure that all systems and components is working properly.
When these activities are complete, initial startup is concluded and the fireplace may be operated by the owner.
Final Checks and User Instruction
Before releasing the fireplace to the customer for use without installer supervision, the installer must ensure that the fireplace is
burning correctly. In addition, the installer must review and explain the following to the owner:
Safety warnings
Fireplace operation
Warranty requirements
Maintenance requirements
Glass and firebox components are hot during and after operation.
If any questions or concerns arise, owner must contact the local Ortal dealer/installer for support.

Building Around the Fireplace
Building Checklist
The following building checklist is a quick reference for a typical Ortal Built-In Series fireplace installation.
This list is not exhaustive and does not supplement thorough review of the installation manual.
Fireplace Location: Ensure the location allows for min. 36” clearance from viewing area to
combustibles and 12” to non-combustibles. Make sure a clear path is established to allow the fireplace
to be safely transported to installation location.
Venting: Confirm vent size (either 4”x6” or 5”x8” for natural vent and 3”x5” for power vent), vent
clearance (1” on sides and bottom, 3” on top), vent configuration, and termination location.
Height from Floor: Fireplace leg height is 9 13/16” (to bottom viewing area). Legs cannot be
removed/altered. If desired viewing area location on the wall is higher than 9 13/16”, a platform can be
built for the fireplace to stand on.
Chase Floor/Platform: Fireplace can stand on the chase floor or a platform. Floor or platform must be
able to bear the weight of the fireplace. It can be constructed out of wood, concrete, metal, or any other
solid materials (not required to be non-combustible).
Chase Construction: No materials can be attached directly to the fireplace (exception: 5/8” Type X
Drywall). The area of the chase interior must meet minimum chase area requirements (depending on
the model). All chases require a heat release, and double glass fireplaces require and air intake (details
below).
Framing: Adhere to minimum framing dimensions (or greater). Keep min. 2” clearance from back and
sides (as applicable by model) of fireplace to any material. The first 18” above the top of the fireplace
viewing area must always be non-combustible framing. Maintain min. 1/4” clearance from front face of
fireplace and front metal off-set to the framing. Maintain min. 4” space between air vents at top of
fireplace to any material. For recessed fireplaces, do not exceed 12” max. front overhang depth limit.
Side overhang depth is unlimited. No material is permitted to extend past the metal lip surrounding the
fireplace viewing area to allow for glass removal.
5/8” Type X Drywall Requirements: One layer of 5/8” Type X Drywall (or equivalent) must be installed
on the exterior of the chase framing.
TV/Artwork:TV/Art must be min. 12” above top of fireplace viewing area.
Gas Supply Line and Power Location: Locate gas line with manual shut off according to local code.
Power provided by single gang 120V outlet in same area as gas line.
Access Panel: Access panel highly recommended to access gas and electrical components for
servicing. Depending on the model, access panel can be placed at side or back of the fireplace within
3’ of the pilot. Access panel or some other form of clear access to the chase is required for power-
vented fireplaces. Size recommendation: as large as possible depending on application. Min.
recommended size 10”x10”.
Heat Release: Crucial for Cool Wall Technology. Must start within 6” (max.) from the chase’s ceiling.
Heat release must meet minimum size (depending on the model) of net free air space. Height of the
heat release must not exceed 1/3of the width.
Air Intake: Only required for double glass heat barrier. Must be located at or below level of double glass
fans. Air intake must meet minimum size (depending on the model) of net free air space.
Finishing: For finishes flush to the fireplace, no clearances are required. For finishes where the
fireplace is recessed to the finish, maintain 1/8" from the finish to the front face of the fireplace.

11
Framing
Fireplace chase may be framed with either combustible (typically wood studs) or non-combustible framing (typically metal studs).
Any framing within 18 inches from the top of the fireplace glass (viewing area) must be non-combustible. This does not apply
to the framing to the back or side(s) of the fireplace; these may be combustible.
The fireplace is non-load bearing. The framing of the fireplace chase must be designed to carry the entire weight of the wall and finish
material. Surrounding material must not transfer weight to the fireplace (exception: 5/8” Type X drywall or equivalent), or be connected
in any way to the fireplace.
No material is permitted to extend past the metal lip surrounding the fireplace viewing area. This area must be unobstructed
to allow the heat barrier and inside glass panel to be removable.
Framing Detail
The detail below shows general framing requirements for a fireplace built flush to the finish wall. It is not to drawn to scale and is
intended for illustrative purposes only. For a complete list of clearance requirements, please see “General Clearances” on page 18.
Dimension labels below correspond with the diagrams in the “Framing Dimensions” section starting on the next page.
Dimension A: Rough Combustible Framing Opening Height
Dimension B: Rough Framing Opening Width
Dimension C: Framing Depth
Dimension D: Firestop Opening
Dimension E: Non-combustible Framing Zone (applicable only when also framing with combustible framing)
NOTE: Fireplace model used in framing detail below is a 31H Front. All information shown in this detail applies to all
fireplaces mentioned in this manual.
IMPORTANT: To ensure the glass is removable after installation, Magnetic Screw (Part #M03) under the fireplace lip
must be secured tightly to the firebox and screwed in as far as possible prior to installation of framing and finish material.
If the magnet is not completely screwed down into the firebox, the lip will sit ajar to the firebox, preventing glass removal.

” Type X Drywall Requirements
Exterior side (i.e., room-facing side) of the framing must be covered with
5
/
8
” Type X Drywall (or equivalent). Finish material is installed
on top of the drywall. This applies to combustible and non-combustible framing.
Drywall is not required on the exterior portion of an insulated outside-facing wall.
5
/
8
” Type X Drywall may rest on the metal lip surrounding the opening of the fireplace. Drywall must not be attached to the fireplace
as heat transfer from attaching materials (such as screws) can cause the drywall to crack.
No material is permitted to extend past the metal lip surrounding the fireplace viewing area. This area must be unobstructed
to allow the heat barrier and inside glass panel to be removable.
Chase Floor/Platform
The fireplace must be installed on a flat, solid, continuous surface. Surface can be wood, concrete, metal, and other typical solid floor
types. Surface material is not required to be non-combustible.
Fireplace leg height is 9
13
/
16
” (measured to bottom of viewing area). Legs cannot be removed, cut, or adjusted.
Raised Platform Option: To raise the fireplace higher than 9
13
/
16
” height, build a platform for the fireplace to stand on. Platform
must be stable and able to bear the full weight of the fireplace. Platform can be constructed out of wood, concrete, metal, or any other
solid materials. Platform material is not required to be non-combustible.
Fireplace Leg Height
NOTE: For fireplaces with the double glass heat barrier, an air intake might be necessary to incorporate into the platform
depending on the design. See “Air Intake for a Platform” for details.
Hearth Extension
A hearth extension is not required. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to a standard
hearth extension installation requirement.

18
General Clearances
Viewing Area Clearances
The viewing area clearance zone is an area that extends perpendicular from the fireplace viewing area. The depth of the viewing
area clearance zone depends on the combustibility of the material in question. Distance is measured from the fireplace heat barrier.
Non-Combustible Materials Must be minimum 12 inches from fireplace viewing area.
Combustible Materials Must be minimum 36 inches from fireplace viewing area.
Materials (including combustible flooring and combustible finish material) are permitted below and around the viewing area clearance
zone.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When placing material near the glass, take care to consider fireplace serviceability. It is strongly
recommended that any items/materials placed in front of the front (long) glass be movable for easy access to the fireplace
during servicing. Recommendation does not apply to side (short) glass(es).
Viewing Area Clearances Per Model
Front Tunnel
Corner: Left Side Corner: Ride Side
Space Creator Three Sided

19
Firebox Clearance
Maintain a 2-inch clearance from the back and/or side of the fireplace (depending on the model) to any material.
Firebox Clearance Per Model
Front Tunnel
Corner: Left Side Corner: Ride Side
Space Creator Three Side

20
Clearance to Chase Ceiling
Maintain a 12-inch clearance from the top of the fireplace viewing area to the lowest point of the ceiling or to any building materials.
Minimum Chase Ceiling Clearance Diagram
NOTES:
A heat release is required for every installation, but it is not required to be split between the two sides of the chase as shown
in the diagram above. It is shown in this diagram for illustrative purposes only. See the “Heat Release Requirements” section
for details.
Clearance around the vent pipe must be maintained (1” clearance on the sides and bottom, 3” on top). See the “Vent
Clearances” section for details.
