tings to check for gas leaks. Never use a flame to test for leaks.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts. If this appliance is installed in a dwelling, building or structure used in
whole or in part for residential purposes and the installation includes a horizontal vent termination
that is less than seven (7) feet above the finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not
limited to decks and porches, a hard-wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery
back-up must be installed on the floor level of the dwelling, building or structure where the appli-
ance is to be installed.
Additionally, a hard-wired or battery operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm must be in-
stalled on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure served by the appliance. It shall
be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the services of qualified licensed professionals
for the installation of hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors.
In the event that the horizontally vented appliance is installed in a crawl space or attic, the hard-
wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next adja-
cent floor level.
In the event that this requirement cannot be met at the time of completion of the installation of the
appliance, the owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with the requirement. How-
ever, during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with alarm
must be installed.
Each carbon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the above provisions must comply
with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 and IAS certified.
In addition when the vent termination is less than seven (7) feet above finished grade a metal or plas-
tic identification plate must be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum
height of eight (8) feet above grade directly in line with the exhaust vent terminal. The sign shall
read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP
CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”.
A COPY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS PLUS ALL VENTING INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IN-
CLUDE PARTS LISTS, AND/OR ALL VENTING DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS MUST REMAIN
WITH THE STOVE AT THE COMPLETION OF THE INSTALLATION.

VENTING
The Solas Nua Freestaning Direct Vent Gas Stove has been tested and listed for installation with 4” X 6
5/8” Simpson DuraVent GS/Pro®, Selkirk Direct-Temp®, Security Secure Vent™, AmeriVent Direct™, Metal
Fab Direct Vent and ICC EXCELDirectventing components. Although you may use the pipe components
(straight pipe, elbows, etc.) from any of the listed manufacturers, you may only use the vent terminations
(caps) listed in the chart on page 8. For installations where a snorkel is needed, please note that only three
snorkels are approved for use. Please plan your installation accordingly.
For all specific venting installation requirements, follow the installation instructions included by the venting
manufacturer with the venting system components you have chosen.
Please note:
 For venting configurations that include no vertical rise, a total horizontal vent run of up to 30 inches
(and including one 45° elbow) is allowed. However, if your installation has room to add a vertical pipe
section, we suggest adding at least one foot of vertical rise to the system.
 For venting configurations that include vertical rise, it is assumed that the installation will include at
least one 90° elbow. Up to three additional 90° elbows (or equivalent 45° elbows) may also be used.
The total venting may not exceed 20 feet of vertical rise and/or 10 feet horizontal run. Refer to the
venting charts starting on pages 10 & 11 for specific details while you plan your installation. Note:
The number of elbows impacts the maximum allowable horizontal vent run.
 If the stove is top vented, the venting may be terminated with either a vertical or horizontal vent cap de-
pending on the specifics of the installation. Refer to the venting charts starting on pages 9&10 for spe-
cific venting requirements and see the chart on page 8 for a list of approved vent caps before you plan
your installation.
The Solas Nua Freestanding Stove is shipped with a custom Simpson DuraVent GS® starter section that
is specifically designed for the Solas Nua. Regardless of the venting brand you chose, you must use the
starter section provided . All of the venting brands listed for use with the Solas Nua Freestanding are
compatible with the provided starter section. For venting system installation details, refer to the instruc-
tions provided with the venting system you have chosen. Each brand has specific installation require-
ments that must be followed to insure a safe and functional venting system for your stove.

Just as with any other vented device, vertical vent rise creates draft (negative pressure) in the firebox as the
exhaust gases heat up. If this draft becomes excessive, it can affect the performance or appearance of the
fire. The Solas Nua Freestanding Stove includes air and exhaust restrictors that are used to balance the
draft in the fireplace to the optimal level for installations where excessive draft might occur. The venting
charts on pages 9 and 10 provide an easy means for determining whether your specific installation requires
inlet air or exhaust restrictors or both. To make the determination about whether air or exhaust restrictors
are needed, a venting chart worksheet is provided on page 11. Follow the instructions and fill in the work-
sheet for your particular installation. This will allow you to determine the recommended restrictor settings
for your exact installation. Although this might appear to be a complicated process at first glance, it is
really quite straight-forward and the result will be a fire that looks and performs as intended. Several ex-
amples of worksheet calculations are shown on page 12 to help guide you.
Please be sure to note that:
1. There are separate venting charts for Natural Gas and LP Gas. Refer to the appropriate chart for your
fuel type to determine your specific restrictor requirements. The settings in the charts have been deter-
mined based on extensive testing.
2. Determine the total vertical vent rise and total horizontal vent run for your installation. All measure-
ments are made from the center of the vent opening in the back of the fireplace.
3. If your stove will not be venting directly though an outside wall to a horizontal termination or if more
than 30” of horizontal vent run is required, some vertical vent rise will be required for the fireplace to
function and vent properly. Elbows will also be required for those installations. However, installations
are limited to a maximum of four 90° elbows (or 45° elbow equivalents).
4. Note: Two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow.
5. The recommended restrictor settings in the venting charts allow up to two 90° elbows (or 45° elbow
equivalents) to be used without affecting the restrictor settings. Additional elbows will require that you
calculate a new equivalent horizontal run for your installation to account for the additional flow resis-
tance caused by the extra elbows. For the purposes of calculating the equivalent horizontal vent run,
each additional 90° elbow is equivalent to three feet of horizontal vent run. The total horizontal vent
run including elbow equivalents can not exceed 10 feet.
6. The maximum vertical vent rise can not exceed 20 feet.
7. There are two exhaust restrictors that are provided with your Solas Nua Stove . They are labeled “A”
and “B”. The A restrictor provides less exhaust restriction than B.
8. An air restrictor plate is also provided with your stove. It is a ring with bendable tabs that can be set to
adjust the amount of restriction in the air supply system. Once the appropriate number tabs are bent
open (in accordance with the requirements for your installation), the plate is inserted between the stove
and the vent starter pipe.
USING THE VENTING CHARTS
 The location of the vent termination must meet the requirements of the current edition of ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code or CAN B419.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and the
requirements shown on page 15 of this manual.

is specifically designed for the Solas Nua. Regardless of the venting brand you chose, you must use
the starter section provided . All of the venting brands listed for use with the Solas Nua Freestanding
are compatible with the starter section provided . For venting system installation details, refer to the in-
structions provided with the venting system you have chosen. Each brand has specific installation re-
quirements that must be followed to insure a safe and functional venting system for your stove.
The Solas Nua Freestanding is shipped from the factory configured for either Rear Venting or Top
Venting as requested.
Prior to connecting your vent system to the stove, please refer to the venting section (pages 7-13) of this
manual to determine whether your installation will require the addition of flow restrictors to the com-
bustion air inlet system or the exhaust outlet or both. Refer to the venting section that starts on page 7
to make that determination.
If your installation does require an air restrictor or exhaust restrictor or both, these must be installed be-
fore you connect your vent system to the stove. Again, refer to the venting information starting on page
8 to determine the specific restrictor requirements for your specific installation. To install the Air Intake
and Exhaust Restrictors please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the top panel of the stove by unscrewing the 4
decorative fasteners.
2. Remove the rear panel of the stove.
3. Remove the Vent adapter attached to the unit by 4 #10
Sheetmetal screws, taking car not to damage the ceramic fiber
gasket.
4. The exhaust restrictor is installed by placing it through the
exhaust outlet pipe and resting it on the internal baffle in the
firebox. It is held in place with a movable retainer clip. Sim-
ply hold the restrictor down against the baffle and push the
retainer up and tighten screw to secure the restrictor. Note:
Please take care to insure that the exhaust restrictor is cen-
tered in the exhaust outlet. Improper alignment could ad-
versely affect the appearance of the flames. Refer to the adja-
cent photographs for placement of the exhaust restrictor and
clip.

5. If the air restrictor ring is required, first
determine the number of tabs that must be
bent open. Before bending any tabs, align the
mounting holes in the ring over the four
mounting holes on the back of the stove.
When selecting the tabs to bend, it is impor-
tant to maintain the most symmetrical pattern
possible. The first tabs bent must be opposite
each other and oriented horizontally. If only
one tab is specified, orient the ring over the
pilot holes so the split tabs are oriented hori-
zontally and bend up two opposing half-tabs.
Additional tabs should be evenly spaced rela-
tive to the first two. With the appropriate
tabs bent, re-align the mounting holes in over
the pilot holes keeping the proper orientation
AND with the bent tabs facing away from the stove body.
6. Place the vent starter pipe gasket on the back of the stove aligning the holes in the gasket with the
pilot holes on the rear of the fireplace.
7. Align the inner pipe of the vent starter pipe with the exhaust outlet pipe on the fireplace. The vent
pipe will fit tightly over the fireplace pipe. Gently push the starter pipe on to the fireplace pipe until the
outer pipe flange makes contact with the vent pipe gasket. Be sure that the holes in the starter pipe
flange align with the gasket and pilot holes. When the flange contacts the gasket, install the four #10
sheet metal screws to secure in place.
If the optional convection blower kit, # FS16-1000, was purchased for this installation, it should
be installed at this time. Please refer to the installation instructions supplied with the blower kit
for detailed installation instructions.
8. Refit the stoves rear panel.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Final Firebox Assembly
1. Remove the front stove panel as shown.
2. Using a 7/16” socket or wrench loosen and remove the 3 hex retaining bolts
at the top of the glass frame.
3. While holding the glass panel and glass frame
along the outer edges, tip the top of the glass
frame forward a few inches.
4. Wrap your fingers around the frame and hold
the glass and frame together while you lift the
frame up and out of the lower glass retainer. Set
the glass and frame assembly aside in a safe
place.
Placing the Burner Glass Media
The burner glass media poly-bag that you set aside when you unpacked the stove contains the correct amount
of glass material to cover the burner. The entire contents
of the bag should be evenly distributed over the burner
tray.
1. Locate the burner in the stove. Refer to the adjacent
illustration.
2. Carefully clip one corner of the poly-bag to form a
pouring spout. The opening should be large enough to
allow the glass media to flow but not so large that you
can’t control the flow.
3. You will notice that the burner surface is designed
with turned-up edges that form a tray to hold the glass
media.
4. Starting at one end, pour the glass media onto the
burner tray, keeping the pouring spout on the poly-bag
toward the center of the burner to avoid spillage of
glass pieces over the sides of the burner. See the adja-
cent illustrations.
5. Once you have poured all of the glass burner media
into the burner tray, carefully smooth the glass pieces
out so they have a uniform depth over the entire sur-
face of the burner. When the burner glass media is
properly placed, it should look like the adjacent illus-
trations.
6. Note: If a few pieces of glass escape over the edges of
the burner tray during installation, it is not a problem.
They will simply land in the area below the burner and

Relief Door Installation
1. The top relief door is shipped separated from the fireplace and must be installed on the top of the fire-
box at this point in the installation. Note: The relief door includes a gasket that covers the full bottom
surface. Use care in handling the relief door to avoid damage to the gasket material.
2. The first illustration below shows the relief openings and relief door retainers.
3. The relief door includes line-up tabs that correspond to slotted retainers on the firebox.
4. Tip the relief door enough to allow the rear line-up tab to engage the rear retainer slot. Refer to the sec-
ond illustration below.
5. Rotate the front edge of each relief door so they line-up over front retainers.
6. Gently spring the front forward so it will allow the relief door front line-up tab to engage on the re-
tainer.
7. The relief door should be able to move up and down freely on the retainers if properly installed.
8. When the relief door installation is complete, the door should be in the full down position.

Installing the Front Glass Panel and Frame
After burner media, batteries, and relief doors been installed, the next step is
to replace the front glass panel and frame.
1. Carefully pick up the glass and glass frame assembly by grasping the
sides of the frame and using your thumbs and fingers to hold the glass in
place within the gasket and frame.
2. With the glass frame (and glass) held at a slight angle (leaving room for
your fingers between the frame and the firebox) insert the bottom edge of
the frame into the frame retainer located on the bottom front of the fire-
box. Take care to center the frame from left to right.
3. Once the bottom edge is in place, move your fingers out of the way and
press the top of the frame against the firebox while pushing down to be
sure the frame is fully engaged in the frame retainer.
4. Hold the frame in place with one hand and insert the four glass frame fas-
teners along the top edge of the glass frame. Tighten the fasteners until
they are hand-tight.
5. Tighten each fastener 1/2 turn at a time, working from one side to the
other, until the glass frame has made contact with the firebox face along
the entire top edge. Do not over-tighten the fasteners as this can put ex-
cessive stress on the glass.
6. Replace the Stove front as shown
