Safety and Warning Information
Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time
When operating your new fireplace for the first time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of the
appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or
even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room. After
a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and
the flames will be at their normal height.
State of California. Proposition 65 Warning.
Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil fired appliances,
and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are
caulked and weatherproofed in such a manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the
outer vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring the
inside wall plate is adequately sealed to the inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by sealing the joints between the
outer vent tube and the inner and outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.

equivalent (2 x 45 degrees = 90 degrees)—can be
used.
5. Each 90 degrees elbow installed on the horizontal
plane is equivalent to a 3 feet horizontal pipe;
therefore, 3 feet must be subtracted from allowable
horizontal run. (45 degrees elbow is equivalent to
18 inches horizontal pipe.)
6. All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch per
foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust flow.
The final pipe length, when terminating through the
wall may be graded downwards slightly to prevent
water migration.
7. Maximum co-linear venting is 40 feet (12.2 m).
8. A restrictor is required for all installations—see
section Appliance Preparation section for more
information.

Co-Axial Venting
Co-Axial Vertical Installations
• Check the roof pitch to determine which roof
flashing will be needed. See venting accessories list
on pages 37–38 for allowable components.
• The distance from the roof to the lowest terminal
discharge opening (“H” in figure) depends on
the roof pitch and must be in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the
termination unit.
Note: The venting system for these appliances is
considered to be a Special Venting System. The
rule in the Installation Code requiring a minimum
vent height of 2 feet above any portion of a building
within 10 feet does not therefore apply.
• The minimum clearances to combustible materials
all round the vent pipes must be in accordance
with the dimensions shown in the Co-Axial Venting
section of this manual.
• Drop a plumb from the ceiling to the center of the
appliance vent opening. Mark the position on the
ceiling. Drill a small hole at the marked position.
• Determine the position where the vent will pass
through the roof. If directly above the position where
it penetrates the ceiling, drop a plumb from the roof
to the small hole in the ceiling and mark the roof at
this spot.
If rafters or other obstructions will prevent a vertical
exit or if clear attic space is desired, the roof outlet
can be offset using 45 degrees elbows.
Drill a small hole at the marked position.
• A ceiling firestop must be installed at the second
floor and higher floors.
A ceiling support should be used below the flat
ceiling.
To install the firestop and support, cut and frame a
10 inches (254 mm) square hole centered on the
small hole previously drilled.
• Fit vent accessory elbows and pipe lengths as
required up through ceiling support boxes and
firestops.
If installation includes offset, support the offsetting
pipes every 3 feet (1 m) with wall straps as shown.
• Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small hole.
The hole must allow for the minimum clearances to
combustible materials. See Venting section in this
manual.
• Fit pipe lengths through the roof. Fit roof flashing
securing it with roofing nails.
• Fit storm collar and termination cap.

Co-Linear Vent Installations
• The chimney and fireplace opening sizes are shown in
Dimensions and Location sections of this manual.
• Place the appliance (fitted with the co-linear adapter)
near the fireplace opening but allow space for
manipulating the chimney liners on to the appliance.
• Drop the 3-inch diameter flexible liners into the
chimney from outside.
• Fit the liners to the co-linear adapter paying attention to
inlet and exhaust and move the appliance to its proper
position. Be aware of the minimum liver bend radius
and maximum liner horizontal run shown on page 14 of
this manual.
• Fit the termination kit and flashing to the exterior of the
chimney.
Secure the appliance to the floor or wall if necessary.
Rear or Top Outlet Conversion to Co-Linear Liners using Valor
556CLA Co-Linear Adapter.
(Generic co-axial to co-linear adapter boxes may also be used as an
alternate to the 556CLA).
Only for use when retrofitting a solid-fuel burning fireplace and chimney.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-
fuel burning appliance.
Requires 556CLA Co-Axial to Co-Linear Appliance Adapter (or, alternatively, a
generic adapter), two lengths of 3-inch diameter flexible chimney liner, co-linear termination kit and flashing and either
high wind vertical vent terminal cap or a low profile vertical termination. Zero Clearance stand-offs and shields supplied
with the heater are not required for this application.
