LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns. However, vent system routing to
the exterior and access to the fuel supply are
also important.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies (Figure 3).
Enraisondestempératuresélevées,l’appareil
devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a
peu de circulation et loin du mobilier et des
tentures (Figure 3).
The location should also be free of electrical,
plumbing or other heating/air conditioning
ducting.
These direct-vent appliances are uniquely
suited for installations requiring a utility shelf
positioned directly above the fireplace. Util-
ity shelves like these are commonly used for
locat-ing television sets and decorative plants.
Be aware that this is a heat producing ap-
pliance. Objects placed above the unit are
exposed to elevated temperatures.

The minimum height from the base of the appli-
ance to the underside of combustible materials
used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion
is shown in Figure 8.

portedbaseextendingthefullwidthanddepthof

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level. Gas line holes and other open-
ings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced
fiberglass insulation.
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
otherraised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent conduction of cold transferring to
the fireplace and into the room. It also helps to

NOTE: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must
not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face
(black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned
in front of or overlapping the appliance face (see Figure 61 on Page 35).
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim,
maybe installed on the appliance facewiththeseexceptions: they must not
cover any portion of the removable glass panel or control compartment.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according
to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 9. Mantels constructed of non-
combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance
opening;however, do notallowanything to hangbelow the fireplace hood.

NOTES:
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve (see Figure 50 on Page 29).
• See Massachusetts Requirements onPage
6foradditionalrequirementsforinstallations
in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.
• The gas supply line should Not be connected
to the appliance until Step 7 (Page 28).
• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be
usedonthethreadedjoints.Ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications. Be very careful that the pipe
compound does not get inside the pipe.
• It is recommended to install a sediment trap
in the supply line as close as possible to the
appliance. AppliancesusingPropane should
have a sediment trap at the base of the tank.
• Check with local building ofcial for local
code requirements (i.e. are below grade
penetrations of the gas line allowed?, etc).
IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100-lbs, if
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting
from an improper installation, such as this,
is not covered under the limited warranty.
Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line from
thesupply regulator to the area wheretheappli-
anceistobeinstalledperrequirementsoutlined
in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54—latest
edition (USA) or CAN/CGA-B149.1—latest edi-
tion (Canada).
Also see Figure 13 on Page 12.
Figure 15 - Route Gas Line
Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line to the left side
of the appliance as shown in Figure 15. Gas
lines must be routed, constructed and made
of materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. All appliances
are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line
connector and 1/2" shutoff valve. Figure
50 on Page 29).
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer
to Table 6 for proper sizing of the gas sup-
ply line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas
lines must be routed, constructed and made
of materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. We recommend
that a qualified individual such as a plumber or
gas fitter be hired to correctly size and route
the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing
a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the
applianceinvolvesnumerous considerationsof
materials,protection,sizing,locations,controls,
pressure,sediment, and more.Certainly no one
unfamiliarandunqualifiedshouldattemptsizing
or installing gas piping.

andtheir associated VerticalVentTables which il-
lustratethevariousverticalventingconfigurations
that are possible for use with these appliances.
Secure Vent®pipe applications are shown in
these Figures; ®pipe may also be
used. A Vertical Vent Table summarizes each
system’s minimum and maximum vertical and
horizontal length values that can be used to
design and install the vent components in a
variety of applications.
Both these vertical vent systems terminate
through the roof. The minimum vent height
above the roof and/or adjacent walls is speci-
fied in ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition) (In Canada,
the current CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code)
by major building codes. Always consult your
localcodes for specificrequirements.A general
guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to
Figure 5 on Page 8).
(Figure 21)
Determine the number of straight vent sec-
tions required. 4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267
mm), 22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm)
and 46-1/2" (1181 mm) net section lengths
are available (see Tables on this page and
Pages 35 and 36 - Vent Sections). Plan the
vent lengths so that a joint does not occur at
the intersection of ceiling or roof joists. Refer
to the Vent Section Length Chart.

E. Support the vertical vent run sections -
Note- Proper venting support is very important.
The weight of the vent must not be supported
by the fireplace in any degree.
Support the vertical portion of the venting
system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace
vent outlet. One method of support is by utiliz-
ing field provided support straps (conventional
plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's tape to
theframingmemberswithnailsorscrews.Loop
the tape around the vent, securing the ends of
the tape to the framing. If desired, sheet metal
screws#6x1/2"lengthmaybeusedtosecurethe
support straps to the vent pipe. See Figure 24.
Analyze the vent routing and determine the
quantitiesofventsectionsandnumberofelbows
required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and
Tables on Pages 19 and 20 to select the type
of vertical installation desired. Vent sections
are available in net lengths of 4-1/2" (114 mm),
10-1/2" (267 mm), 22 -1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2"
(876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm). Refer to the
Vent Section Length Chart on Page 16 for an
aidinselectinglengthcombinations.Elbowsare
available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer
to Figure 25 on Page 18 for the SV4.5E45 and
SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifications.
Where required, a telescopic vent section
may be used to provide the installer
withanoption in installing in tight and confined
spaces or where the vent run made up of fixed
length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable
location, or will not build up to the required
length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section
has an effective length of from 1-1/2" (38 mm)
to 7-1/2" (191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with
a locking inclined channel end (identical to a
normalventsectioncomponent) andaplainend
with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the
locking channel end of a standard SV4.5 vent
component the required distance and secure
with three screws.
combustible materials for all vertical elements.
A. Frame ceiling opening - Use a plumb line
from the ceiling above the appliance to locate
center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an
opening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267mm x 267mm)
inside dimensions, about this center mark
(Figure 22).
To attach a vent component to the appliance
collar, align the dimpled end over the collar,
adjusting the radial alignment until the four
locking dimples are aligned with the inlet of
the four inclined channels on the collar (refer to
Figure 23). Push the vent component against
the collar until it fully engages, then twist the
component clockwise, running the dimples
down and along the incline channels until they
seat at the end of the channels. The unitized
design of the Secure Vent®components will
engage and seal both the inner and outer pipe
withouttheneedforsealantorscrews. Ifdesired
a #6 x 1/2" screw may be used at the joint, but
it is not required as the pipe will securely lock
when twisted.
NOTE: An elbow may also be attached to the
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner as
you would a vent section.

If the vent system extends more than 5' (1.5
m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be
necessary. Additional screws may be used at
section joints for added stability. Guide wires
may be attached to the joint for additional sup-
port on multiple joint configurations.
G.Continueinstallationofhorizontal/inclined
sections - Continue with the installation of the
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run
as described in Step C. Install support straps

clined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90
elbows in the same manner as the straight vent
sections. The elbows feature a twist section to
allow them to be routed about the center axis
of their initial collar section to align with the
required direction of the next vent run element.

VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES
NOTE: It is very important that the horizontal/
inclined run be maintained in a straight (no
dips), slightly elevated plane.The recommended
incline is approximately 1/4" per foot (20 mm
per meter) horizontal, in a direction away from
the fireplace. The rise per foot run ratios that
are smaller are acceptable all the way down to
at or near level.
NOTE:SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure
Flex®) firestop/spacer must be used anytime
vent pipe passes through a combustible floor
orceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent),SF4.5HF (Se-
cure Flex)firestop/spacer must be used anytime
vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
NOTE: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in
place of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise
to run ratios, as shown in the venting figures
for 90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degree
elbows are used.
NOTE: An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of
vertical rise, except where an elbow is the
only vertical component in the system. (See
Figure 39 on Page 23).
NOTE: Secure Vent®(rigid vent pipe) is shown
in the figures; Secure Flex®(flexible vent pipe)
may also be used.
A Vent Restrictor, as shown in the figures on
Page 14, must be used in this application.
Example: If 8 feet of (H) horizontal vent
run is needed, then 4 feet minimum (V)
vertical vent will be required.
This table shows a 1 (V) to 2 (H) ratio.
For every 1 foot of (V) vertical, you are
allowed 2 feet of (H) horizontal run, up
to a maximum horizontal run of 8 feet.
