NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE. 19
If you’re installing a gas line, connect it before
the fi replace is framed and enclosed in the
fi nished wall. The gas knockout is determined
by the indentation located at the bottom and
slightly off center in the side refractories. THE
KNOCKOUT IS ALWAYS REMOVED FROM
INSIDE THE FIREPLACE. DO NOT REMOVE
THE KNOCKOUT UNLESS YOU ARE INSTALL-
ING A GAS LINE. If removal is attempted from
the outer wrapper, side refractory damage
may occur. With a medium-sized hammer,
lightly tap the surface of the indentation. The
refractory material is very thin in this area
and is easily removed. Once a small hole has
been made, continue tapping until you have
reached suffi cient diameter for the gas line to
fi t through. The entire knockout does not have
to be removed. Remove insulation in the gas
line channel.
IMPORTANT: REPACK INSULATION MATE-
RIAL IN SQUARE HOLE AROUND GAS LINE,
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF FIREPLACE,
TO SEAL.
Glass Doors
If glass doors are to be installed on these
fi replaces, refer to specifi c installation instruc-
tions packed with the glass doors. Use only
the doors that are listed for use with these
fi replaces. Use of other non-listed glass door
on these fi replaces may constitute a potential
fi re hazard and is not recommended.
Vent Free Appliances
This unit has been tested and approved to
ANSI/IAS/AGA Z21.11.2 for use with unvented
gas appliances for INDOOR INSTALLATIONS
ONLY and complies with the standard for Fac-
tory-Built fi replaces, UL 127, when installed
with unvented gas log sets.
Special instructions with regards to mantel
installations must be taken into consideration
when installing such appliances.
The unit has been tested for use with any
unvented log sets having a maximum rating of
26,000 BTU in Indoor installations only. The
minimum mantel confi guration for these log
sets are outlined in Figure 52.
Log sets with 40,000 BTU may be installed
provided that no combustible mantel projec-
tions are placed lower than 18 inches from the
fi replace opening.
These fi replaces have been marked with a
maximum rating of 26,000 BTU to assure
that homeowners do not exceed the allowable
limits for all allowed installations of mantels.
That limit may be increased to 40,000 BTU,
provided that the mantel installed complies
with the 18-inch limitation and a copy of these
instructions are available.
IMPORTANT
Allow minimum 1"* chimney air
space to combustible framing
members throughout vertical or
offset chimney installation.
ATTENTION
Permettez 1 minimal” * l’espace
aérien de cheminée aux mem-
bres encadrants combustibles
partout dans vertical ou à
l’installation de cheminée de
rejeton.
*Note: In Canada, a 2” clearance to com-
bustibles is required.
• Outdoor installations less than 15’ height
require chimney clearance of 2” air space to
insulation and construction materials.
WARNING
Unvented Gas Log Sets are not
approved for use with fi replaces
installed outdoors. The materials
and components will deteriorate
prematurely if installed outside.
Refer to the log manufacturer’s
literature for limitations and
exceptions.
AVERTISSEMENT

CAUTION
Certain glass doors overlap the
black metal facing of the fi replace.
IF the fi replace has been faced with
noncombustible materials, there
might not be suffi cient clearance
to install the glass doors of your
choice. Ensure adequate clearance
is maintained at all times so as not
to interfere with the installation and
operation of glass doors.
