Introduction
This model is a direct vent gas appliance and is designed to operate with
all combustion air being siphoned from the outside of the building and all
exhaust gases expelled to the outside of the building.
Warning: This unit is not for use with solid fuel.
Pre-Installation Preparation
This direct vent gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when
installed in accordance with this Installation Manual. Report to your
dealer any parts damaged in shipment, specifically check glass condition.
Do not install unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts. Read all
instructions before starting installation and follow these instructions
carefully during installation to insure maximum benefit and safety.
Failure to follow them will void your warranty and may present a fire
hazard.
The Empire Comfort System, Inc. warranty will be voided by, and Empire
Comfort System, Inc. disclaims any responsibility for the following
actions:
• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system component.
• Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Empire Comfort System, Inc.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured or
approved by Empire Comfort System, Inc.
High Altitude Installation
When installing this unit at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the United
States) it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Generally, input should be
reduced 4 percent for each 1000 feet above sea level. However, if the
heating value of the gas has been reduced, this general rule may not apply.
Check with local gas utility for proper orifice size identification.
APPLIES TO CANADIAN MODELS ONLY
Altitude: 0-4,500 feet (0-1370 m) without orifice change.
For high altitude installations consult the local gas distributor or the
authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods. If the installer
must convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, the information
sticker (illustrated below) must be filled out by the installer and adhered
to the appliance at the time of conversion.
THE CONVERSION SHALL BE CARRIED OUT BY A
MANUFACTURER'S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE IN AC-
CORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MANUFAC-
TURER, PROVINCIAL OR TERRITORIAL AUTHORITIES HAV-
ING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIRE-
MENTS OF THE CAN/CGA-B141.1 OR CAN/CGA-B141.2 INSTAL-

Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to confirm whether your local codes
allow copper tubing or galvanized.
Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always
best to consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
—
ANS Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings
— ANS Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of Other
Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority having
jurisdiction.
Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 CAN/CGA-
B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.
Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit.
Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact
your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the
action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for
leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching
for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test
should be made.
Never use an exposed flame to check for leaks. Appliance must be
disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or
plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance
connected; control valve will sustain damage!
A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas line
upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by the
National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near the gas inlet. This
should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected into the gas line
that is capped on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles
may collect.
