VENTING
Preliminary steps to prepare for the installation of the
Fireplace Insert
Remove the chimney cap if one exists so that the flue may be
cleaned and the venting installed.
Remove any existing hearth accessories such as glass doors, spark
screens, andirons and grates.
Clean the chimney thoroughly to remove ash, soot, and any ob-
structions, and then clean ash, soot, dust and debris from the fire-
place.
Chimney cleanouts must fit properly
The damper must be locked open to allow the 2 x 3” venting to
pass through. If it is necessary to modify the damper area to allow
passage of the venting, the modifications should be allowed under
local codes. Confirm any planned changes with local building of-
ficials.
Use Only Approved Venting
Observe local codes when venting the Fireplace In-
sert. If no local codes exist, follow ANSI Z21.88-2009 installation
code.
Please consult the installation instructions supplied by the venting
manufacturer you are using. Additional brand specific installation
requirements may apply, follow the installation instructions in-
cluded by the venting manufacturer with the venting system com-
ponents you have chosen. The venting manufacturer’s installa-
tion instructions must be followed exactly.
Do not connect the venting to the flue of a chimney that serves a
separate solid fuel burning appliance.
The most efficient venting systems are those that have a minimum
number of bends and minimal horizontal runs.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a
properly installed and maintained venting system can result in car-
bon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
Exhaust restrictor plates must be installed depending on type
of gas and chimney height. See Page 12 to determine restrictor
requirements.
The fireplace and fireplace
chimney must be clean and in
good working order and con-
structed of non-combustible
materials.

11
Use Only Approved Venting
This appliance has been tested and is listed for installa-
tion with Simpson Duravent Duraflex AL venting com-
ponents. The warranty will be voided, and serious fire,
health, or other safety hazards may result from any of
the following actions:
 Installation of any damaged Simpson Duravent
component.
 Unauthorized modification of the Simpson Du-
ravent System.
 Installation of any component part not manufac-
tured or approved by Simpson Duravent.
 Installation other than as instructed by Simpson
Duravent and the appliance manufacturer.
Consult your local building codes before beginning the
installation, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions
exactly.
The Following Vertical Termination Caps are the only
ones approved for use on this appliance:
Simpson Duravent #46DVA-VC
Selkirk Direct Temp 1604802
Amerivent Direct 4DVC
ICC ExcelDirect TM4VT
This unit is intended for Vertical Termination only.
Horizontal Termination not allowed.
VENTING
Uncoil the three inch aluminum chimney liners on the
ground and measure to make sure the pipes are long
enough. Mark one of the liners at both ends with paint
and use it for the exhaust side connection. Once they
are in the chimney it allows easier identification of
intake and exhaust connections.
Minimum vertical vent pipe length is 10 Feet.
Maximum vertical vent pipe length is 36 Feet.
Maximum horizontal distance is 36”.

12
VENTING
Feed chimney liners down the chimney and through the
damper.
Position the Fireplace Insert in front of
the fireplace opening to prepare for Installation.
Locate the Vent Connector
Plate locking bar on the top
of the unit
Lift up on the locking bar to
release.
Push bar towards the rear,
sliding the Vent Connector
Plate halfway down in its
locating track. At this point
it will be possible to re-
move the plate from the
fireplace insert body by lift-
ing the plate upwards
Take care not to damage
the sealing gasket affixed
to the insert body.
With the Vent Connector Plate separated from the unit,
attach the flex liners you have dropped into the fire-
place cavity to the plate using hose clamps, making
sure that the Intake and Exhaust are connected to the
correct collars. Remember the exhaust liner is the one
that was marked with paint earlier.
Vent Restrictors
Installations with extended vent runs may experience
over-drafting and require the addition of a Vent Re-
strictor (E or F). The best indication of over-drafting is
a hyper-active flame pattern (flames that move too
quickly). Over-drafting may affect the pilot, causing it
to lift off the flame sensing rod shutting off the unit.
Too much restriction will lead to ghosting or lifting
flames - in this case less restriction is required.
The Fireplace Insert is supplied with two
restrictor plates and provide restriction as follows:
No Restrictor Plate —No Restriction
Plate “E” 1.75” diameter—Maximum Restriction
Plate “F” 2.00” diameter. —Minimum Restriction
Determine the flue restrictor needed for this application
and install into the exhaust port on the insert body.
•Natural gas uses no restrictor from 10’ to 22’ and the
1.75”ID (E) restrictor from 22’ to 36’.
•Propane uses no restrictor for 10’ to 22’ and the 2.0”
ID (F) for the 22’ to 36’ chimneys.
Removable Venting Connector Plate
The Fireplace
Insert is equipped with a re-
movable Venting Connector
Plate. Remove this plate from
the unit as follows:

Gas Connection.
1. The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and
the requirements listed below.
2. Verify that the gas type is correct for the fireplace insert by looking at the rating plate that is attached to
the control area of the appliance, adjacent to the control valve. Note: The fireplace insert is shipped
from the factory equipped to burn the fuel listed on the rating plate. Fuel conversion in the field is not
allowed.
3. The gas inlet is located on the bottom left side of the appliance. Connection should now be made from
the gas supply line to the inlet flex connector on the fireplace. Use only a qualified gas installer to
make the connection.
4. The fireplace is shipped from the factory with a 1/2” female flare fitting on the 3/8” flex connector.
5. The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shut-off valve and a 1/8 NPT plugged tapping up-
stream of the valve. We recommend installing a shut-off valve between the gas supply line where it
penetrates the wall / fireplace the flex on the fireplace insert. This will allow gas to be shut-off to the
fireplace by simply removing the fireplace surround to gain access to the shut-off valve.
6. The fireplace and its inlet regulator and main burner valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
7. The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the gas shut-off valve dur-
ing any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
After the gas supply has been connected, use a commercial gas leak detector or apply a soapy water
solution to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use a flame to test for leaks.
If the factory built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5” (37.5mm) or
less may be drilled through the lower sides, or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like
manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line
has been installed
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL WIRING
This fireplace insert requires 110V AC electrical supply for normal operation in order to power up the Igni-
tion Control Module that is required to operate the Remote Control. However, during a power outage situa-
tion, its electronic system (Ignition Control) can temporarily be powered with 4 AA batteries. The convec-
tion blower will not function when the unit is operating on backup battery power.
Always verify operation after servicing.
WARNING
Electrical connections should only be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Main power must be
off when connecting to main electrical power supply or performing service.
All wiring shall be in compliance with all local, city, and state codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) and Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Placing the Burner Glass Media
In order to place he glass media on the burner assembly, you will need to remove the glass front from the
unit.
Glass Front removal:
The glass front is retained by four springloaded glass retaining clips.
Pull each of these clips forward, rotating 180 degrees as you do so.
Once all four retaining clips have been released, the glass frame can be
tipped forward and lifted out of the bottom retaining rail. The glass is
retained in the frame with retaining tabs, so remove the glass and frame
as a complete assembly. Place your thumbs on the outside of the glass
frame and wrap your fingers around the frame and onto the glass.
Squeeze the frame and glass while moving. Carefully lift the glass
frame and glass up and off the fireplace. Set the glass and frame aside
on a padded surface. BURNER TRAY

17
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
The burner glass media poly-bag that you set aside when you unpacked the fireplace 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 fireplace insert. Refer to the
adjacent illustration.
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
adjacent 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 prob-
lem. They will simply land in the area below the
burner and will do no harm.
With the glass media in place, refit the front glass panel.
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 and frame as a complete assem-
bly.
Place the bottom edge of the frame in its retaining track on
the bottom of the firebox opening, centering the glass
frame left to right in the track.
Then reengage the 4 spring loaded retaining clips, by pull-
ing them forward and rotating them 180 degrees so that the
bottom angled lip of each clip fully engages in its corre-
sponding notch on the glass front.
