GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
BEFORE YOU START
Read this homeowner manual thoroughly and follow all
instructions carefully. Inspect all contents for shipping
damage and immediately inform your dealer if any damage
is found. Do not install any unit with damaged, incomplete,
or substitute parts. Check your packing list to verify that all
listed parts have been received.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• This insert should have sufcient access for its safe
operation and maintenance.
•The ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
•Minimum clearances to combustibles, such as mantels,
must be maintained. Refer to Pages 8 and 9, Figures 3
and 4.
•Never obstruct the front opening of the insert.
•Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
ammable liquids may be stored.
•These units can be installed in a bedroom. Refer to
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 (current
edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code (current edi-
tion), and Local Building Codes for specic installation
requirements.
IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert was designed to
be installed in an existing wood burning replace. The
location and clearances are subject to local building
codes.
INSERT APPLICATIONS
Before installing the gas replace insert, consider the
functioning needs of the replace. Conrm the size of the
replace cavity, the design of the chimney, and the avail-
ability of the gas supply and electricity for the insert fan.
IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert is designed to be
only vented vertically with a minimum height of 10 feet.
When the unit is installed into a wood burning replace,
the minimum distance the mantel can be placed above the
replace is governed by local building codes applicable to
wood burning replaces. Consult local authorities having
jurisdiction for these clearances. The underside of the
mantel will become warm. Use only nishes which are heat
resistant and do not discolor.

•External regulator (supplied by installer)
•Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
•Sediment trap (optional but recommended)
• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed
by local codes — not provided)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with
1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the CSA design-certied equip-
ment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas
pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do
not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regula-
tor damage could occur. Install external regulator with the
vent pointing down as shown in Figure 11. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

For propane/LP units, never connect insert directly
to the propane/LP supply. This burner system
requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between the burner system
and propane/LP supply.
CAUTION
Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally
tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per
National Fuel Gas Code, Section 2.6.3, providing gas
meets hydrogen sulde limits, and where permitted
by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to
provide minimum inlet pressure (listed on data plate)
at the maximum ow rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure
loss will occur if the pipe is too small.
CAUTION
WARNING
A qualied installer or service person must connect
appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

INSERT INSTALLATION
NOTE: The gas line connection may be made using 1/2"
rigid tubing or an approved ex connector. Since some
municipalities have additional local codes it is always best
to consult your local authorities and the current edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In
Canada CSA-B149 (1 or 2) Installation Code.
A listed manual shutoff is factory installed upstream of
appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tap-
ping point should be installed upstream of the appliance.

CAUTION
Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
CAUTION
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged burner system valves.We recom-
mend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply
line as shown in Figure 12. Locate sediment trap/drip leg
where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system
between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment
trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A
sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps
them from going into the burner system gas controls. If
sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong,
burner system may not run properly.
WARNING
Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make
the necessary gas connections to this appliance.

CHECKING GAS PRESSURE
1. Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as
stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply
is different from the replace, STOP! Do not install the
appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.
2. Install and attach ex line provided with on this appliance
to 1/2" gas line.
3. After completing gas line connection, purge air from
gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to the
replace for leaks. Use a soap and water solution or a
gas sniffer.
4. To adjust ame height, turn HI/LO knob to HI to get
maximum pressure to burner. Turn HI/LO knob to LO
to get minimum pressure.
5. To check gas pressures at valve, turn captured screw
counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing
to pressure gauge over test point. Turn unit to high.
Figure 13. After taking pressure reading, be sure and
turn captured screw clockwise rmly to reseal. Do not
over torque. Check test points for gas leaks with a soap
and water solution or an electronic gas leak detector.
