HT34-PV Series Power Vent Gas Fireplace

Part No. XG0530 - 041510

Installation

Installing The Fireplace Shell

The fireplace may be installed in any location that maintains proper clear-

ances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety,

as well as efficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting

the fireplace location. Try to select a location that does not interfere

with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible

pathway for Power Vent installation. Refer to page 4 - Vent Installation

for more information.
The fireplace dimensions for HT34-PV models are shown below:

When installing a shelf over the top of the fireplace, the following

guidelines must be adhered to: For Rear Vent applications the

minimum clearance from the top of the fireplace to a shelf is 9". For

Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 17 1/2". (Minimum

2" clearance must still be maintained around the vent pipes.)

Clearances

These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening,

where the clearance to combustibles is 0". The HT34-PV Series

clearances to combustible materials are:

Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the fireplace

opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in Figure 25.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that

outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapor barrier. This will reduce

the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.
