COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated (refer to diagrams in "Locating Your Gas Fireplace" section):
WARNING:
Fire hazard is an extreme risk
if these clearances (air space)
to combustible materials are
not adhered to. It is of greatest
importance that this replace
and ue system be installed
only in accordance with these
instructions.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0" (0mm)
CAUTION REQUIREMENTS: The top, back and sides of the replace are dened by
standoffs. The metal ends of the standoffs may NOT be recessed into combustible
construction.
Determine the total thickness of the nished oor (eg. tile, carpet, slate) to allow the
nished surface to be ush with the base of the unit.
Ceiling Height from Floor 72" (1828mm)
Mantel Height from Base of Unit:
39" min. (991mm)
Horizontal Flue Clearances:
Top 2-1/2" (64mm)
Side 1-1/2" (38mm)
Bottom 1-1/2" (38mm)
Vertical Flue Clearances 1-1/4" (32mm)
Due to the extreme heat this replace emits, the mantel clearances
are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown
in Diagram to the right.
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.
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using this
scale.
Caution: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the
facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.
* If the 3" (76mm) metal extension trim is removed it must be replaced
with a 8" (203mm) non-combustible material.

FRAMING AND FINISHING
CAUTION: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a
chase. The clearance on top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so
combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the
standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the ue to combustible
materials for both rigid and ex.

2) When locating your appliance on an exterior wall or in a chase, apply
a vapour barrier and drywall, as per local building codes. DO NOT
INSULATE THE FIREPLACE ITSELF.
CAUTION: Verify your replace dimensions, framing methods and
nished wall facing details before framing. Determine the total thick-
ness of facing material - drywall plus ceramic tiles, slate, etc. Allow
the nish surface to be ush with the front or side of the unit. Total
facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

FLUEING
INTRODUCTION
The PG121-1 / PG121LC-1 / PG121RC-1 /
PG131-1 uses the "balanced ue" technology
Co Axial system. The inner liner ue products of
combustion to the outside while the outer liner
draws outside combustion air into the combus-
tion chamber thereby eliminating the need to
use heated room air for combustion and losing
warm room air up the chimney.
Note: Theseuepipesmustnotbecon-
nectedtoanyotherappliance.
The gas appliance and ue system must be
ueed 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 ue gas appliance must use it's own
separate ue system. Common ue systems
are prohibited.
INSTALLATION
UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The 4 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped
into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a at position and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the replace
top.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the cor-
rect shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the
pre-punched screw holes on the replace
top line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with
4 screws per standoff (on opposite corners).
FACING & FINISHING REQUIREMENTS
This replace is supplied with a 3" metal extension trim above the replace. The extension trim may be replaced if the framing is faced with a non-
combustible material placed ush with the front and side face of the unit and extending from the top of the unit. (ie. tile, slate, etc.)

INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS
Install the ue system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with
the components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the ueing system is attached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas.
2) Direct Flue pipe and ttings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
ueing system to the appliance ue 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.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section
of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pac on the
inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing
inner and outer ue collar and fasten to the
outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws
(drilling pilot holes will make this easier).
Level the replace and fasten it to the fram-
ing using nails or screws 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 indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
ttings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and ttings, 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

ported every three feet. Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.
The center of the square hole should line
up with the centerline of the horizontal
pipe. Cut and frame the 10 inch square
hole in the exterior wall where the ue will
be terminated. If the wall being penetrated
is constructed of non-combustible material,
i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)
dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for ex) hole is
acceptable.
Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height
is achieved by installing a 45oelbow directly
to the ue adaptor.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of ue must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the ue to run downward. This
Diagram 2
could cause high temperatures and
may present the possibility of a re.
b) The location of the horizontal ue termi-
nation on an exterior wall must meet all
local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Flue Terminal Locations, see
diagram on page 12.
6) The arrow on the ue cap should be point-
ing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clearances
to combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 3 on page 16). Install the termina-
tion cap.
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used to
ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of ue
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temperature silicone sealant
to outer pipe on every twist-lock joint.
b) Horizontal runs of ue must be sup-

TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/4" clearances (air spaces)
to combustibles when passing through ceil-
ings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic
rafter, or other nearby combustible
surfaces. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Check pages 17-19
for the maximum vertical rise of the
ueing system and the maximum
horizontal offset limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance in its desired
location. Drop a plumb bob down
from the ceiling to the position of
in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the
ue will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceil-
ing joists, roof rafters or other framing will
obstruct the ueing system. You may wish to
relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown
in Diagram 2 to avoid cutting
load bearing members.
3) A Firestop
spacer must be
installed in the
oor or ceiling
of every level.
To install the
Firestop spacer
in a at ceiling or wall, cut a 10 inch square
hole. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram
3 and install the restop.
4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow con-
nections are in the fully twist-locked position
and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufcient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/4". Slip the ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the ashing) as per Diagram 4.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Diagram 4: The upper half of the ashing is
installed under the roong material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed. This
allows for small adjustments.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is important
to support the ue pipe every 3 feet,
to avoid excessive stress on the el-
bows, 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
ashing until the height of the ue cap meets
the minimum height requirements specied
in Diagram 5 or local codes. Note that for
steep roof pitches, the vertical height must
be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting
the appliance ue exit, and
mark the location where
the ue will penetrate the
ceiling. Drill a small hole
at his point. Next, drop a
plumb bob from the roof to

pipe to the ue termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 942) over the ue pipe.
8) Slide the appliance and ue assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the ue
pipe into the ue cap assembly. It is important
that the ue pipe extends into the ue cap
sufcient distance so as to result in a mini-
mum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure
the connection between the ue pipe and
the ue cap by attaching the two sheet metal
strips extending from the ue cap assembly
into the outer wall of the ue pipe. Use the
two sheet metal screws provided to connect
the strips to the pipe section. See Diagram
4.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
square and attach with wood screws (Dia-
gram 5).
