TOP STANDOFFS
The Esteem Fireplace is shipped with the short
top standoffs in place and the extended top
standoffs loose. If the Optional Screen Door
is to be installed, the short standoffs must be
replaced with the extended standoffs.
1) Remove the four screws attaching each top
standoff in place and remove standoffs.
2) Position extended top standoffs in same
place and attach with screws.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The Esteem Fireplace installation and
venting must conform to the current CAN/
CGA-B149 installation code (in Canada) or the
current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(in the USA), and approved per local codes.
Only qualied (licensed or trained) personnel
should install this product.
The Esteem Fireplace is designed to be framed
at zero clearance to combustible material with
conventional lumber. Ensure framing dimensions
are maintained during construction.
FRAMING
In planning the installation for the Esteem Fireplace, it is necessary
to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent system
and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations
are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a corner, a built-in wall or a
wall projection (see Fig. #7). Due to high temperatures, do not locate
this appliance in areas of high trafc or near furniture or draperies.
Once the nal location has been determined, frame a minimum
opening of 34-1/4 inches wide, 32-3/4 inches high and 12-1/4 inches
deep with conventional 2 x 4 lumber (see Fig. #5 and #6). It may
be preferred to frame the replace after it is positioned and the vent
system is installed. Heavier construction may be required for some
installations, consult local building codes for specic requirements.
Ensure framing dimensions are maintained during construction.
Bend out the two nailing tabs on each side and secure the replace
to framing with screws or nails (see Fig. #4). The tabs will allow for
a nishing wall up to 3/4 inch thick, if thicker, unit must be spaced
outwards accordingly. The wall may be nished up to the replace
facing with combustible material (see Fig. #3).
The minimum clearances from the appliance to combustible surfaces
are shown on Fig. #2 and 3. Adequate clearances around air open-
ings and combustion air supplies are required.
Chase Insulation: When installing this replace against a non-insu-
lated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the outer walls
be insulated to same degree as other exterior walls. Do not place
replace directly against the insulation. Cover the insulation and
plastic vapour barrier with a solid surface, such as drywall (sheetrock).
Consult local codes.

Hearth Extension: While a hearth extension may be desirable for
aesthetic reasons, it is not required for this replace. If one is desired,
the hearth extension may be up to 3/8 inch thick, if thicker, the replace
must be spaced up accordingly.
FRAMING FOR SCREEN FRONT
In planning the installation for the Esteem Fireplace, it is necessary
to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent system
and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations
are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a corner, a built-in wall or a
wall projection. Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace
in areas of high trafc or near furniture or draperies.
Once the nal location has been determined, frame a minimum opening
of 34-1/4 inches wide, 37-3/4 inches high and 12-1/4 inches deep
with conventional 2 x 4 lumber (see Fig. #6b). It may be preferred
to frame the replace after it is positioned and the vent system is
installed. Heavier construction may be required for some installations,
consult local building codes for specic requirements. Ensure framing
dimensions are maintained during construction.
Bend out the two nailing tabs on each side and secure the replace
to framing with screws or nails. The tabs will allow for a nishing
wall up to 3/4 inch thick, if thicker, the unit must be spaced outwards
accordingly.
Due to higher temperatures with the Screen Door, concrete board (or
other non-combustible material) must be used to sheet in the front of
the replace. The concrete board must extend 8" above and to the full
width of the unit. (see Fig. #6c). Standard sheetrock (drywall) may be
used beyond this and up to the sides of the replace.
The minimum clearances from the appliance to combustible surfaces
are shown on Fig. # 2. Adequate clearances around air openings and
combustion air supplies are required.
Refer to the replace installation manual supplied with the unit for
additional requirements.

Examples of
Common Locations
Vent system components approved for use with the Esteem Fireplace
are shown in Appendix A. The Esteem Fireplace is also tested and
certied for use with SIMPSON DURA-VENT DIRECT VENT GS pipe
or SECURITY CHIMNEYS SECURE VENT system (see Optional
Venting section).
NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE
USED.
Various combinations of vertical and horizontal runs may be used.
Refer to Fig. #26 and 27 for details. For optimum performance and
ame appearance, keep the vent length to a minimum. Connections
between each vent system component must be tightly joined and
sealed, and secured with sheet metal screws at each joint. A hori-
zontal run of vent must have a 1/4" rise for every 2 ft. of run towards
the termination.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 1 INCH FROM THE VERTICAL AND
HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF THE PACIFIC ENERGY FLEX VENT
SYSTEM AND 1-3/4 INCHES FROM THE SIMPSON DURA-VENT
GS AND SECURITY SECURE VENT SYSTEM.
Exterior wall opening:
It is preferred to cut an opening between two building framing members
to avoid any extra framing. Consult your local building codes prior to
proceeding. The vent kit will accommodate a maximum wall thickness
of 11-1/2 inches.
Having determined the vent terminal location, cut and frame an opening
of 10-1/2 inches. The opening may be round or square. Height of
the opening will vary with each installation. As the horizontal vent run
increases, so does the minimum vertical rise (see Fig. #26).
IMPORTANT: When locating this hole it should be noted that
the bottom of the vent terminal must be a MINIMUM of 12 inches
above grade, the top of the vent terminal must be a MINIMUM
of 16-1/4 inches below combustible material such as a deck or
roof overhang and the side of the terminal must be a MINIMUM
of 5-3/4 inches away from an adjacent wall (see Fig. #34).

VENT SYSTEM RESTRICTOR ADJUSTMENT
Located on the rebox rear wall are vent restrictors. The unit leaves
the factory with the restrictors wide open as shown in Fig. #28b. These
are built into the appliance for combustion air ow rate adjustment.
Adjustment of these restrictors ensures proper ame appearance for
the wide variety of vent congurations.
Refer to Fig. #28c for the correct position of both restrictors for the vent
conguration of your installation. Restrictor positions are based upon
lab tests. The ideal position may vary slightly with installation.
Restriction is too much if the flame has the following
characteristics:
- ame is pale, blue, lifting, clear, or non existent
- ame has no movement
Restriction is too little if the ame has the following characteristics:
- ame is bent forward
- ame has excessive movement

VENT EXTENSION
Vent pipe kits may be combined together for longer vent length. Extend
the ex pipes as shown in Fig. #31. Use the 4 and 8 inch couplers
supplied with the vent kit. Insert the coupler into the appropriate ex
pipe and secure it in place with screws provided. Seal all joints and
screw heads with the high temperature sealant provided.
The 4 inch exible inner pipe must be centred inside the 8
inch pipe with pipe spacers provided. Pipe spacers should be
installed at maximum 2 foot intervals (see Fig. #30). Spacers
may have to be closer if pipe is bent 90°.
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3
feet. Use pipe support straps provided with kit to maintain a 1
inch clearance from combustibles (see Fig. #31).

ROOF VENT TERMINAL INSTALLATION
Firestops must be used where a vent passes through a oor. Where a
vent passes through a ceiling, a wall/roof thimble must be used to retain
insulation and maintain a 1 inch clearance. Avoid cutting rafters.
1) Once the location of the terminal is determined, cut and frame
a minimum 10-1/2" round or square opening in the roof. Size of the
opening may have to increase with the pitch of the roof to ensure a 1
inch air space clearance between vent and combustibles. (see Fig.
#35)
2) Attach the roof brackets to the support sleeve with the 1/4" x 1"
long carriage bolts. (see Fig. #36)
3) Extend the 8 inch outer ex pipe through the roof opening. Slip
the ex pipe a minimum of 1-1/2 inches over the support sleeve.
Secure pipe to the sleeve with screws provided. Seal the joint and
screw heads using the high temperature sealant provided.
4) Fasten the support sleeve assembly to the roof joists. The sleeve
must be located vertically and plumb and a minimum of 1 inch away
from any combustible material. (see Fig. #37)
5) Place the roof ashing over the support sleeve and nail securely
to the roof using roong nails, top and sides UNDER shingles, lower
Size of the opening may have to increase with
the pitch of the roof to ensure a 1 inch air space
clearance between vent and combustibles.
