MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:
MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is
made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
INSTALLATION
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area using the above scale for units with the Flush
Front and with the optional Bay Front.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant"
or the paint may discolour.
Maximum
1-1/2" projection at 2"
minimumclearance.
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum dis-
tances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fires is
failure to maintain required clearances
(air space) to combustible materials. It is
of the greatest importance that this fire-
place and vent system be installed only in
accordance with these instructions.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0" (0mm)
Minimum Clearance from Louver to:

TOP ASSEMBLY &
NAILING STRIPS
TheTopFacingSupportandSideNailingStrips
must be correctly positioned and attached be-
fore the unit is slipped into position.
1) The top standoffs are shipped installed.
2) The Top Facing Support and the 2 Side
Nailing Strips can be installed at different
depths depending on the width of your
facing. Match the depths of the top facing
support and the side nailing strips.
a) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3

INSTALLATION
5) The unit does not have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top
of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so
combustible building materials can be laid
directly on top of the standoffs. You must
maintain these clearances from the vent to
combustible materials: Flex Termination
clearance 1-1/2" (38mm), Simpson Dura-
Ventclearanceor(1-1/4"(32mm).Combus-
tible materials can be laid against the side
and back standoffs and the stove base.
b) Mount the Side Nailing Strip using the 3
supplied screws into the 3 screw holes
or slots (diagram 4) on the side of the unit
andrepeat fortheotherside.Use thehole
fora1/2"(13mm)thickfacingmaterialand
the slot for a range of thickness from 1"
to 1-1/2" (25mm to 38mm).
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P42 uses the "balanced flue" technology
CoAxial system. The innerliner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
needtouseheatedroomairforcombustionand
losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be con-
nected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
venteddirectlytotheoutsideofthebuilding,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 sys-
tems are prohibited.
VENT RESTRICTOR
A vent restrictor may be required. Check the
diagrams on pages 13 to 18 to determine if the
#6 restrictor is needed for your vent configu-
ration. If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restric-
tor using 4 screws per piece to the inside top
of the firebox.
Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum
height for flex termination and
Simpson Dura-Vent terminations.
Diagram 1
FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) The facing allows for 1/2" (13mm) of dry-
wall material. The unit may be installed
directly on/or against standard combusti-
ble building materials.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening for
the assembled kit is 36-5/8" high x 40-1/4"
wide x 19" deep (930mm H x 1022mm W
x 483mm D). See Diagram 1.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fireplace itself.)
4) Thetoplouvers must not becloserthan36"
(914mm) to the ceiling.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.

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
mountthevent terminal. TheTerminalmustnot
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 inches.
This product has been evaluated by Intertek for
using a Dura-Vent Flue Adaptor in conjunction
withSelkirkDirect-Temp and Ameri VentDirect
venting systems. Use of these systems with
the Direct Vent GS starting collar is deemed
acceptableanddoesnotaffecttheIntertekWHI
listing of components.
WARNING:

HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS
1) Settheunitin its desired location. Checkto
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are
in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to con-
nect the venting system to the appliance
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent GS system. Install the adaptor
after the unit is set in its desired location
otherwisetheunit will notfitthroughthe36-
5/8" (930mm) high frame opening.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer flue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fastenittotheframingusingnailsorscrews
through the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indenta-
tions, located on the female ends of
pipesandfittings,aredesignedto slide
straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes and fittings, by orienting the four
pipe indentations so they match and
slide in to the four entry slots on the
male ends. (Diagram 1) Push the pipe
sections completely together, then
twist-lock one section clockwise ap-
proximately one-quarter turn, until the
two sections are fully locked. The fe-
malelockinglugswillnotbevisiblefrom
theoutside,ontheBlackPipeorfittings.
They may be located by examining the
inside of the female ends.
Diagram 1
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
ported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall
straps are available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the center-
lineofthehorizontalpipe.Cutandframethe
10inch (254mm)squareholeintheexterior
wall where the vent will be terminated.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, a 7" (178mm) diameter
(7-1/2" (190mm) for flex) hole is accepta-
ble.
Diagram 2
Note:
a) Thehorizontalrunofventmustbelevel,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and
may present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent ter-
mination on an exterior wall must meet
alllocalandnationalbuildingcodes,and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Vent Terminal Locations, see
diagram on page 9.
c) Snorkel Terminations:

6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is impor-
tant to support the vent pipe every
3 feet (0.9 meter), to avoid exces-
sive stress on the elbows, and
possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose
(Diagram 2).
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof-
line due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashinguntilthe height of the ventcapmeets
theminimumheightrequirementsspecifiedin
Diagram5orlocal codes. Note that for steep
roof pitches, the vertical height must be in-
creased.

4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.

9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
(254mm) square and attach with wood
screws (Diagram 6).
Diagram 5
6) The arrow on the vent cap should be
pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/4"(32mm)
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained(Diagram5).Installthetermina-
tion cap.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding stand-
off or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.
The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of
vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the
WallThimble(Part#942)overtheventpipe.
8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly to-
wards the wall carefully inserting the vent
pipeinto thevent cap assembly. It isimpor-
tant that the vent pipe extends into the vent
cap sufficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches
(32mm). Secure the connection between
the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching
the two sheet metal strips extending from
the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of
the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal
screws provided to connect the strips to
the pipe section. See Diagram 6.
