U41/I41 GAS INSERT
ZERO CLEARANCE KIT
KIT # 660-900
PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

2U41/I41 Gas Insert Zero Clearance Kit
GENERAL INFORMATION
This kit consists of factory built parts that require minimal assembly
to form the Zero Clearance enclosure for the U41/I41 Gas Insert.
The enclosure can then be fixed into a framed combustible con-
struction, and a standard "B-vent" installed on the assembly for the
required venting. The insert can be installed later.
The faceplate will normally overlap on top of the finished wall. The
base of the Zero Clearance Kit can be installed directly on
carpeting, tile or any flooring material; however, the hearth if
installed in front of the unit requires special protection as described
in the "Hearth" section on page 4.

Variable Chimney Routes
Flue Vent Termination:
There must be at least 3 ft.(0.9m) of chimney above the roof level. Stack
the pipe onto your finish support to a minimum height of 3 ft.(0.9m) above
the roof penetration, or 2 ft.(0.6 m) above any point within 10 ft. (3 m)
measured horizontally.
In North America, flue systems with vent caps approved by the
Underwriters Laboratories and marked "WIND" may terminate at levels
lower than the 10 ft. - 2 ft. rule. See chimney manufacturer's instructions
for further information.
NOTE: Cold Climate Installation
Do not install against a non-insulated wall or in a chase.
VENTING
This fireplace must be vented with a 4"(102mm) diameter Class “B” vent (not supplied). The installation of the venting system must conform
and be in accordance with the natural gas installation code CAN/CGA - B149(Canada), ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.A.), AG 601 (Australia), NZS 5261
(New Zealand) and any applicable national or local codes. Minimum chimney height from base of fireplace must be at least 12 feet (3.6 M).
Use a maximum of two offsets; four 45oelbows, or two 90oelbows for example. Slope horizontal pipe
at least 1/4" (6.4 mm) rise per 12" (305mm) of run. Horizontal runs should not exceed the vertical rise.
Keep horizontal runs to a minimum.
