AFTER
BEFORE
! WARNING: Failure to set up the standoffs will result in an extreme fire hazard.
Minimum Framing Dimensions
¥The 1/2" stand-offs on
the back and sides and 6-
1/4" stand-offs on the
top of the fireplace are
designed to separate the
fireplace from the
framing members.
These stand-offs may
contact the framing
members but no material
may be placed between
the stand-offs.
¥Fireplace must be
installed on a level
surface capable of
supporting the fireplace
and vent
¥Fireplace must be placed
directly on wood or non-
combustible surface (not
on linoleum or carpet)
¥Due to the high
temperature of the
fireplace, it should be
located out of traffic and
away from furniture and
draperies.
Gas Line (the inlet is 7-3/4" behind the
framing and 2-5/8" above the base of the
fireplace (see "Gas Line Connection" for
details).
37-1/4"
19-5/8"
35"
Route the electrical line (and optional
thermostat or remote control wire) to
the right of the fireplace.
NOTE: when venting to the rear, allow a
min. 8-5/8" gap centered behind the
fireplace (for the vent and wall thimble).
36" From Base of Fireplace.
NOTE: when using an elbow off the top of the
fireplace, allow for a 2" clearance above the
vent (1" to the sides and bottom).
Clearances
¥When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 6" to the side of the faceplate.
¥Fireplace must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of
the fireplace (e.g. drapes, doors)
¥Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked

Vent Requirements
!Always maintain the required 1" clearance (2" clearance above the vent when an elbow is placed
directly off the top of the fireplace) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air
spaces with insulation.
!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.
!If the fireplace is
installed at an altitude
over 3,000 feet the flame
quality will need to be
carefully evaluated. See
Addendum #1, "Altitude
Considerations", on page
45.
¥In addition to the
requirements listed to the
right, follow the
requirements provided
with the vent.
Use a firestop spacer whenever
passing through a ceiling
(Duravent Part #963)
Vertical Termination
(Duravent Part # 991)
Use a roof flashing and storm collar
whenever passing through the roof

¥ Apply high-temperature silicone to the inner and outer pipe before
assembling the sections (on the male, upper section). This seals the
inner pipe from the outer pipe. Slide the sections together and turn
1/4 turn until the sections lock in place. Install three metal screws
through each joint to lock the outer section in place (see the
instructions included with the vent for further details).
¥Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel
+Exterior Vent Diameter = 6-5/8", Inner Vent Diameter = 4"
Apply a 1/8" (3 mm)
bead of high-
temperature silicone
to the inner and

silicone must seal
the inner pipe from
the outer pipe.

Approved Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position
¥A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures
proper combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be
required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations describe
which position the vent restrictor must be in.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
Withe the fireplace cool, use the
bent rod included in the ownerÕs
pack to adjust the plate.
To Access the Restrictor:

NOTE: The fireplace is
shipped with the restrictor in
position #1 (fully open).
Determine the correct restrictor position (see the charts under
"Approved Vent Configurations" - the stock position is #1).
Lift up the adjustment plate and move it so the correct notch falls into
the slot on the adjustment bracket.
This restrictor is in position 1.
This restrictor is in position 2.
