Installing Overview and Product Dimensions
Please review the Installation Checklist on Page 4 for gen-
eral information on preparing for a successful installation
of your replace. The VL36BN replace may be installed in
any location that maintains proper clearances to air condi-
tioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing.
Safety, as well as eciency of operation, should be consid-
ered when selecting the replace location. Select a loca-
tion that does not interfere with room trac, has adequate
ventilation and oers an accessible path for B-Vent instal-
lation.
Section 1: Installation Overview
Installation Checklist
1). Determine the desired install location of your replace.
See Section 1, Dimensions on Page 5, and refer to the
Framing. Section 2 for details.
2). Select the location of your termination and resulting
vent run. Your selected termination location must be the
highest point in the B-Vent installation.
3). Should it be impossible to meet the venting require-
ments laid out in Section 3: Venting, please contact Vanox.
4). Lay out the Vent run and Electrical Requirements Refer
to Section 4: Wiring, for Details.
5). Refer to Section 5: Installing the Gas Line, for details on
the gas connection and access. Refer to local codes and
guidelines for installation requirements.
NOTE: Installation and repairs should be done by a
qualied contractor and must conform to, below:

Installing The Fireplace Shell
The replace may be installed in any location that main-
tains proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical
wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as eciency of opera-
tion, must be considered when selecting the replace loca-
tion. Try to select a location that does not interfere with
room trac, has adequate ventilation
Refer to page 4 - B-Vent Installation for more information.

The VL36BN is certied for use with standard 4” and 5” inch
B-Vent, and requires no B-Vent appliance connector. Simply
attach the B-Vent to the replace ue collar, and secure it
using 1/4” sheet metal screws.
Refer to the current CAN/CGA B-149.1 or ANSI Z223.1 /
NFPA54, gas Installation Code for specic vent sizing.
Notes:
The replace requires a MIN. 12’-0” feet vertical
rise in order operate correctly.
If more than 12’-0” feet of B-Vent is used on vent
runs, use ceiling supports.
For reducing to the 4”B-Vent, use the BV increas-
ing adapter on top of the 5” Fireplace ue collar.
Fireplace can be supplied with the 4” or the 5” col-
lar from the factory.
4” B-Vent installation
See the detailed drawings below and determine which
installation best suits your application. Follow all the pre-
scribed details installations as shown. Failing to do so can
create an unsafe condition, which to lead to a re, safety
hazard, injury or death.

after a ten (10) minute warm up period. The manufac-
turer will not be responsible for any installations with
inadequate draw.
ATTENTION
Testez votre installation B-Vent après l'achèvement de

To check for proper drafting use this procedure.
1). Place unit in operation and allow to run for approximately
(5)-minute to establish a up-draft.
2). Using a match or something that will produce smoke,
place it up to the opening of the draft hood and verify that
the ame or smoke is being drawn into the draft hood. If the
ame or smoke is blown away from the draft hood open-
ing. You may have to re-check the venting and verify there
is a minimum of 12’-0” feetof venting, or check the house for
negative pressure.

Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed
over the top and on the front of the replace. The VL36BN
requires a minimum 2”x 38”L. Non-combustible board on
top of the upper ange.
Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test
requirements are for re hazard prevention to combustible
materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government
demands for the wise use of energy, has prompted us to
manufacture many models of replaces which are hot, fuel
and energy ecient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above
normal room temperature and walls above replace may be
hot to touch.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the eects
of elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of
product design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This
can cause melting, deformation, discoloration or premature
failure of T.V. and radio components.
Section 4: Finishing
Figure 13. Combustible framing clearances above replace.
Painting:
Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and
Decorators Association, when painting the replace sur-
rounds, to select and apply a quality Alkyd sealer prior to the
applying of latex paints. This is to prevent leaching of water
from evaporation and causing a brownish staining eect to
paint over coats.

When selecting the nish material for your replace, it
is important to remember the following: THE RELIEF
OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to
do so restricts the air supply for the draft hood and heat
exchanger it also prevents access for servicing of the limit
switch.
The face of the replace may be painted to match the room
decor, provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative
facing must not extend past the replace opening at all,
because it will interfere with the access to retainers for
removal of glass door.

DO NOT COVER the lower Access Cover, as shown in
Figure No. 13. The result will be an obstruction of the
incoming Combustion Air, and A FIRE COULD RESULT.

current CAN/CGA - B149.1 or .2 installation codes for Gas
Burning appliances and equipment in Canada.
Installations in the USA must conform to the local codes
or in the absence of local codes to the current version of
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Electrical
Installations must conform to the local codes or, in the ab-
sence of local codes, to the current version of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. See Appendix C for
installation within the State of Massachusetts..
1. The gas pipeline can be brought in ONLY through the
left side of the appliance. A knockout is provided at either
location to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of
any gas connection.
2. The gas control inlet is 3/8” NPT.
3. When using copper or ex connector, use only approved
ttings. Always provide a union so that gas line can be
easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas
specication for pressure details and ratings.
4. When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for the
installation, a condensation trap is needed. See CAN/CGA-
B149.1 or .2 for code details.
5. For natural gas, a minimum of 3/8” iron pipe with gas
minimum pressure of 5.5 w.c. must be used for supply from
the gas meter. Consult with the local gas utility if any ques-
tions arise concerning pipe sizes.
6. 1/8” NPT plugged tappings are accessible for test gauge
connection both on the inlet and outlet of the gas valve.
7. Turn the gas supply ON and check for leaks. DO NOT USE
OPEN FLAME FOR THIS PURPOSE. Use an approved leak
testing solution.
8. The appliance and its individual shuto 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 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
9. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual shuto valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
