3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You
must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See
"Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the
side and back standoffs and the stove base.
 If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth,
when nishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening dimen-
sions noted below must be adhered to ensuring for the removal of the
faceplate.

VENTING INTRODUCTION
The Gem54™ uses the "balanced ue" technology Co Axial system.
The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the
outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber
thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and
losing warm room air up the chimney.

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside
of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid
fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use
it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
The top stand off / nailing strip is shipped attached to the back of the unit as
shown below.
1) Remove one screw in location shown below.
Replace the screw on the back the unit after removing the
standoff / nailing strip.
2) Bend the 3 tabs at the bottom of the stand off / nailing strip to 90°,
bend in the same direction as the top tabs.
3) Install on the top front of the unit as shown in diagram 3. Do not fully
tighten the screws when installing - until the facing thickness has been
determined.
UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The Top Standoff/ Nailing Strip, side nailing strips and standoffs must be
correctly positioned and attached to the unit before sliding the unit into position.
STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top, side, rear and bottom standoffs are shipped in a at position and
must be folded into shape and attached - see diagram 1.
1) Remove the standoffs from the unit.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the bend
lines until the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-punched screw holes
on the unit line up.
Remove this screw to
release top standoff / nailing
strip

NAILING STRIPS
The nailing strips come attached to the unit. There is 1 plate on each side,1
on the top, and one on the bottom that can be folded out as required. The
top and side nailing strips are secured to the framing. The bottom nailing
strip is secured to the unnished oor - if installing the unit directly on the
oor.
Note: The bottom nailing strip will need to be bent on site and
adjusted to accommodate the thickness of the facing material.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Framing depth measurement is noted with
the side nailing strips set as far forward on
the rebox as possible. The nailing strips can
be adjusted back up to 1” to allow for varying
thicknesses in non-combustible material & wall
nishes.

INSTALLATION
Vent restriction is required for certain venting installations, see the diagrams in the "Venting
Arrangements" section to determine if they are required for your installation.
The Vent Restrictor plate is located on the inside top of the rebox.
To set the vent restriction as indicated in the venting arrangements diagrams, refer to the following instructions;
1) Remove the glass door.
2) Remove the screws that hold the vent restrictor plate in place.
3) Adjust the vent restrictor plate to the required vent restrictor position as per the diagrams shown.
 Once the vent restrictor plate is in the required position, secure with screws.

RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
BASIC HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer a complete line of
component parts for installation of both horizontal
and vertical installations. Many items are offered in
decorative black, as well as galvanized nish.

Vertical Termination are:

Wall thickness is measured from the back
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring
strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding
standoff, to create a level surface to mount the
vent terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed
into siding. Measure the wall thickness including
furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be
used with vinyl siding), measure to outside surface
of wall without siding and add 2" (51mm).
