dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the re-
place may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have the replace inspected and serviced by a
qualied service person. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the inuence of alcohol, and those at high
altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added
to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep
this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper
operation of this replace.
1. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional

COLD CLIMATE OPTION (IPI Models Only)
NOTE: If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around
your appliance and wherever cold air could enter the room,
with noncombustible material. It is especially important to
insulate the outside chase cavity between the studs and
under the oor on which the appliance rests, if the oor is
above ground level.
Your replace is equipped with an intermittent pilot ignition
(IPI) control. An IPI control with a standing pilot option pro-
vides the dual benet of an economical and environmentally
responsible product and one which lights easily even in
the coldest climates. When in intermittent pilot mode (as
it comes from the factory), your pilot remains unlit until
needed, saving you fuel. Standing pilot mode, by com-
parison, is characterized by a continuously burning pilot.
The benet of a pilot which lights only when needed is fuel
savings. However, with no pilot burning in your replace,
units operating in colder climates may experience delayed
start up or lock out. Because colder air is heavier than
milder air and there is no pilot burning to maintain a warm
stable temperature in your rebox, establishing a draft to
aid ignition becomes difcult. This is perfectly normal but
can be somewhat frustrating.
To remedy this issue, your replace has been designed with
a cold climate pilot option, which, when active, maintains
a warmer temperature inside your rebox to make ignition

guration to be used, framing and nishing details, and
whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch,
or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building
code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, includ-
ing permits and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be main-
tained.
• This replace may be installed along a wall, across a
corner, or use an exterior chase. Refer to Figure 4 for
suggested locations.
• Location should be out of high trafc areas and away
from furniture and draperies due to heat from appliance.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the replace.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
ammable liquids may be stored.
• Vent pipe routing. See Venting section found in this
manual for allowable venting congurations.
• These units can be installed in a bedroom. See National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 — (current

NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void the
warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before beginning the
installation. The installer must make sure to select the
proper vent system for installation. Before installing vent
kit, the installer must read this replace manual and vent
kit instructions.
Only a qualied installer/service person should install vent-
ing system. The installer must follow these safety rules:
•Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
•Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on
rooftops.
•Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and
ceilings.
The following actions will void the warranty on your vent-
ing system:
•Installation of any damaged venting component.
• Unauthorized modication of the venting system.
•Installation of any component part not manufactured
or approved by Vermont Castings Group.
•Installation other than permitted by these instructions.
VENTING INSTALLATION
GENERAL VENTING
Your replace is approved to be vented either through the
side wall, or vertical through the roof.
•Only Vermont Castings Group venting components
specically approved and labeled for this replace
may be used.
•Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any vent-
ing application where rigid direct vent components can
be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that
pertain to the rigid piping apply to the exible venting.
Flex kits may not be modied. Flex kits may be added to
the end of a vent run made of rigid vent sections using
pipe manufacturer's approved ex to pipe adapters. This
may occur only if doing so does not violate any of the
venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio
requirements or clearance considerations detailed in this
manual.
•Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or sid-
ing.
• Vertical side wall venting in horizontal applications must
be installed with a 1/4" rise for every 12" of run.
•Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal
run of venting must be run level or have 1/4" rise for every
12" (305 mm) of run towards the termination below 71⁄2
feet of vertical rise. With 71⁄2feet (2.3 m) or more vertical
rise from oor of replace, the horizontal run may run lev-
el. NEVER run vent piping downward.
• Horizontal venting which incorporates the use of ex
venting shall have an inclining slope from the unit of 1/2"
(13 mm) per 12" (305 mm).
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, gar-
den sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24"
(610 mm) from the front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or
ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termina-
tion area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental
blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers,
make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination
area.
Location of Vent Termination
It is imperative the vent termination be located observing
the minimum clearances as shown on following page.
Read all instructions completely and thoroughly
before attempting installation. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury, property damage or
loss of life. Operation of improperly installed and
maintained venting system could result in serious
injury, property damage or loss of life.
WARNING
This replace must be vented to the outside.
The venting system must NEVER be attached
to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel
burning appliance. Each gas appliance must
use a separate vent system. Do not use common
vent systems.
WARNING
Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or
other materials. This could cause high temperatures
and may present a re hazard.

SLP PIPE
When using SLP pipe it is not necessary to use sealant
on the joints.
To join SLP pipe together, simply align the beads of the
male end with the grooves of the female end, twisting the
pipe until the ange on the female end contacts external
ange on the male end. NOTE: Sealant is not required to
assemble replace venting. Do not use silicone sealant at
the inner ue exhaust connections.
1. Attach the First Vent Component to SLP Starting
Collars
To attach the rst vent component to the starting col-
lars of the appliance:
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the
pipe section onto the collar.
• Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into
place. Use this procedure for all vent components.
See Figure 21.
• Continue adding vent components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component
is securely tted and locked into the preceding
component.
2. Commercial or High-Rise Applications
For installation into a commercial or high-rise appli-
cation: All outer pipe joints must be sealed with high
temperature aluminum foil tape, including the slip sec-
tion that connects directly to the horizontal termination
cap.
• Only outer pipes are to be sealed. Do not seal the
inner ue. All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow
and cap outer ues shall be sealed in this manner,
unless otherwise stated.
VENTING INSTALLATION
Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs
on it will face toward the appliance.

Figure 21–
Adding Venting Components
HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH
The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the re-
lationship between the vertical and horizontal dimensions
of the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this
dimension on the Side wall Vent Graph, Figure 20, lo-
cate the point intersecting with the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line
to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the re-
place in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the unit is 11' (3.4
m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not
exceed 14' (4.3 m).
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the unit is 7' (2.1
m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not
exceed 8' (2.4 m).
Refer to Page 26 for snorkel requirements.

VENTING INSTALLATION
CORRECT INCORRECT
Make sure the seams are not aligned to prevent unintentional
disconnection. (see Figure 22B)
ADDITIONAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Assemble Slip Sections
The outer ue of the slip section should slide over the
outer ue of the pipe section and into the inner ue of
the last pipe section (see Figure 22A).
Slide together to the desired length, making sure that
a 11⁄2 in. outer ue overlap is maintained between the
pipe section and slip section.
The pipe and slip section need to be secured by driv-
ing two 1⁄2in. screws through the overlapping portions
of the outer ues using the pilot holes (see Figure 23).
This will secure the slip section to the desired length
and prevent it from separating. The slip section can
then be attached to the next pipe section.
If the slip section is too long, the inner and outer ues
of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
WARNING! Risk of Fire/Explosion! DO NOT
break seals on slip sections. Use care when re-
moving termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section
seals are broken during removal of the termination
cap, vent may leak.
Figure 22B–
Seams
Figure 22A–
Slip section pilot holes
Figure 23–
Screws into Slip Section
2. Secure the Vent Sections
Vertical sections of SLP pipe must be supported every
8 ft.
The SLP restop includes tabs that may be used to
secure vertical sections.
The vent support or plumber’s strap (spaced 120°
apart) may be used to secure the vertical sections of
pipe (see Figure 24).
Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every
5 ft with a vent support or plumber’s strap (see Figure
8).
WARNING! Risk of Fire/Explosion/Asphyxiation!
Improper support may allow vent to sag and
separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent
sections per installation instructions. DO NOT allow
vent to sag below connection point to appliance.

passes through a ceiling or exterior wall. Cut a 9” wide
x 9” high (229 x 229 mm) opening through the exterior
wall or framing. A wall rectangular restop (not provid-
ed) MUST BE installed if the vent passes through inte-
rior walls. In that case, cut a 10” wide x 10” high (254
x 254 mm) opening through the wall or framing. The
framing members may need to be reinforced. Position
the restop on the hole previously cut and secure with
screws or nails (not provided). Run vent pipe through
restop. The gap between the vent pipe and restop
may be sealed.
2. Attach slip section of cap to last vent section. Main-
tain 1-1/2 in. overlap between slip and vent sections.
Make sure the termination cap is installed with the em-
bossed arrow pointing up.
3. If the house has vinyl siding, mark and cut the vinyl
siding around the pipe so the termination cap can be
mounted ush to the wall. Finish the edges of the sid-
ing with trim or “J channel” and caulking to prevent wa-
ter from leaking into the building. Figure 13
4. Attach the termination cap to the exterior wall using
four (4) screws provided.
5. Guide the venting throught the vent hole as you place
the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4" (102
mms) and 65⁄8" (168mm) collar of the vent termination
into the outer ends of the venting. Do not force the
termination. If the vent pieces do not align with the ter-
mination, remove and realign the venting at the appli-
ance ue collars. Figure 31 Attach the termination to
the wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied
with the termination.
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CAP
WARNING! Risk of Fire! The telescoping ue sec-
tion of the termination cap MUST be used when
connecting vent. 11⁄2(38 mm) minimum overlap of vent
and telescoping ue section is required. Failure to
maintain overlap may cause overheating and re.
NOTE: For horizontal vent runs through a combustible
wall and framing dimensions, refer to appliance installation
manual.
Installation Instructions
1. Attach slip section of cap to last vent section. Main-
tain 11⁄2in. overlap between slip and vent sections.
NOTE: For installations using black pipe, slide the
decorative wall thimble over the last vent pipe before
connecting the termination to the pipe. When this
connection has been made, slide the wall thimble up to
the interior wall surface and attach with screws provided.
1. Secure termination cap to exterior wall using provid-
ed holes and fasteners.
2. Vent termination must not be recessed in the wall.
Siding may be brought to the edge of the cap base.
3. Flash and seal as appropriate for siding material at
outside edges of cap.
When installing a horizontal termination cap, follow the cap
location guidelines as prescribed by current ANSI Z223.1
and CAN/CGA-B149 installation codes.
CAUTION! Risk of Burns! Local codes may re-
quire installation of a termination guard to prevent
anything or anyone from touching the hot cap.
