IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:

thickness/heightoffinishedhearth(tile,carpet,etc.) Thebaseofthe
fireplace should be level or higher than the finished hearth height.
Diagram 3 Shown with optional finishing trim
Finishing material - thicker
than 1-1/4"
Important:
Finishing materials such as tile, river rock, etc, must not protrude
beyond the front facing flanges the sides and top of the firebox
opening.
Full Screen Doors Only:
If finishing with any material thicker than 1-1/4" - a 3/4" gap must
be maintained between the full screen doors and the finishing
material.
This gap is necessary to facilitate the installation and removal of the
full screen doors.
Note: All non-combustible facing material should butt up cleanly
to the flanges around the firebox opening.
Rough edges will be visible from the front view with the flush
louvers or flush panels - if not using the optional finishing trim.
To maintain a clean finished edge - it is recommended to install
the non-combustible facing material with the finished edge
against the fireplace / nailing strips.
Alternatively, you can use J Style Trim or Metal Corner Bead
to cover cut edges of the non-combustible facing material.

INSTALLATION
UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips, the 2 Top Standoffs and the Flue Collar must be correctly positioned and attached before the fireplace
is moved into position.
TOP FACING SUPPORT
Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall or wood plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary
from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
The Top Facing Support can be mounted in
3 different positions depending on the
thickness of the facing material.
1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.

There are 2 plates, one on the top and bottom
that can be folded out as required.
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position and must be folded into shape and
attached.
1) 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 slots on the fireplace
top line up. Be sure to use correct slots, they are marked.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite
corners).

4) Align the vent restrictor plate to the required vent restrictor position
as per the diagrams shown.
5) Once the vent restrictor plate is in the required position, secure with
2 - 1/4" x 1/2" screws. Ensure all screws are tight, but do not over
tighten. (See diagram 2).
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The B36XT uses the "balanced flue" 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.
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other
appliance.
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.
