COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level. Gas line holes and other open-
ings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced
fiberglass insulation.
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent cold transfer to the fireplace and into
the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness
and caulk firestops.
MANUFACTURED HOUSING
B-Vent Fireplaces are not approved for use in
OEM or aftermarket manufactured housing built
to HUD standards.
LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns. However, vent system routing to
the exterior and access to the fuel supply are
also important.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies (Figure 3).
En raison des températures élevées,
l’appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit
où il y a peu de circulation et loin du mobilier
et des tentures (Figure 3).
The location should also be free of electrical,
plumbing or other heating/air conditioning
ducting.
Be aware that this is a heat producing ap-
pliance. Objects placed above the unit are
exposed to elevated temperatures.
Do not insulate the space between the appli-
ance and the area above it.
The appliance must be mounted on a fully sup-
ported base extending the full width and depth of
the unit. The appliance may be located on or near
conventional construction materials. However,
if installed on combustible materials, such as
carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material
other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the appliance.

VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES
These instructions should be used as a
guideline and do not supersede local codes
in any way. Install venting according to local
codes, these instructions, the current National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or
the current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1
in Canada.
Vertical Vent Termination Clearances
Gas Vent Rule – Gas vent caps are not permitted
within 8 ft. (2.4 m) of a vertical wall or similar
obstruction.
Multiple Terminations
2 ft.
(0.6m)
Minimum
Gas vent caps that are located 8 ft. or more
from a portion of a building which extends
at an angle greater than 45° upward from the
horizontal may terminate in accordance with
Figure 4 , provided that in no case shall any
discharge opening on the cap be less than 2
ft. (.6 m) horizontally from the roof surface
(National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA
54) (CAN/CGA B149.1).
Multiple Terminations
These appliances may vent adjacent to and at
the same level with any other gas appliances
(including direct-vent appliances) provided that
there is at least 2 ft. (0.6m) between the proximal
edges of the vent caps. These appliances may
be vented adjacent to a chimney vent servicing
a solid fuel fireplace provided the B-vent cap
is at least 2 ft. (0.6m) away from the nearest
point of the chimney opening.
