SAFETY LABEL This is a copy of the label that accompanies each P36 Zero Clearance Room Sealed Gas Fireplace. We have printed a copy of the contents here for your review. The label is located on the front inside base of the unit, visible when the bottom louvre is open. DATA BADGE NOTE: Masport units are constantly being improved. Check the label on the unit and if there is a difference, the label on the unit is the correct one.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The P36-NG or P36-LPG Room Sealed Fireplace must be installed in accordance with AG 601 and NZS 5261 5261 and these instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the "authority having jurisdiction" to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure this fireplace is installed in compliance with manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes.
INSTALLATION LOCATING YOUR GAS FIRE 1) When selecting a location for your fire, ensure that the clearances outlined on this page are met. 2) Provide adequate clearances for servicing. 3) The appliance must be installed on a flat, solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, metal, concrete). This may be the floor, or raised up on a platform to enhance its visual impact.
MANTELS Masport P36-3 Gas Inbuilt Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour. Also the material from which the mantel is made from must be heat resistamt to 85oC. These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches) Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale. Diagram 1 Diagram 2 Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
INSTALLATION FRAMING AND FINISHING 1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the finished surface to be flush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick. 3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.
INSTALLATION UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 supplied screws into the three pre-punched screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use hole positions A, B, or C depending on your facing depth. The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped into position. Top Standoff Assembly FLUEING INTRODUCTION The P36 uses the "balanced flue" technology Co Axial system.
INSTALLATION EXTERIOR FLUE TERMINATION LOCATIONS Minimum clearances required for balanced flue terminals or the flue terminals of outdoor appliances according to AG 601 (AGA gas installation code) or NZS 5261 (New Zealand). For vertical termination height refer to AG 601 or NZS 5261.
INSTALLATION FLUEING Direct Flue System (Flex) Horizontal Terminations Only These flueing systems, in combination with the P36 Room Sealed Gas Fireplace, have been tested and listed as a Direct Vent type flue system by the Australian Gas Association. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Flue Terminal Locations diagram on page 10. Direct Flue (Flex) System Termination Kit (Part # 946-515) includes all the parts needed to install the P36 with a maximum run of 1.2m.
INSTALLATION FLUEING ARRANGEMENTS - HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS MASPORT DIRECT FLUE SYSTEM (LPG & NG) The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90o elbow (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). Masport Flex Vent 4" (102mm) inner diameter 6-7/8" (175mm) outer diameter A flue guard should be used whenever the termination is lower than the specified minimum or as per local codes.
INSTALLATION FLUEING ARRANGEMENTS - HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS MASPORT CO AXIAL FLUE SYSTEM (LPG & NG) The diagram below shows examples of horizontal termination arrangements using two 90o elbows (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow). Note: 1) 2) 3) 4) A maximum of two 90o elbows are permitted. A minimum of 6 ft. (1.8m) vertical from base of unit is required if two 90o elbows are used. Minimum distance between elbows is 2 ft. (0.6m).
INSTALLATION FLUEING ARRANGEMENTS - VERTICAL TERMINATIONS The P36 is approved for a 23 ft. (7.0m) vertical, with a maximum 12 ft. (3.7m) horizontal offset using two 90o elbows (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow), as per diagram 1. The P36 is approved for a 37 ft. (11.3m) straight vertical, including a 20" (0.5m) horizontal offset using two 90o elbow (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow), as per diagram 2. • • Flue must be supported at offsets Maintain clearances to combustibles.
INSTALLATION The P36 is approved for a 37 ft. (11.3m) straight vertical, as per the diagram 3. The shaded area in diagram 3 shows all allowable combinations of straight vertical and offset to vertical terminations. Maximum two 45o elbows allowed. • • Flue must be supported at offsets Maintain clearances to combustibles as listed on pages 6 to 8.
INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS Install the flue system according to the manufacturer's instructions included with the components. 1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the flueing system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the gas preferably on the right side of the unit and the electrical (junction block is on the left side) on the left.
INSTALLATION VERTICAL TERMINATION 1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check pages 14-15 for the maximum vertical rise of the flueing system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations. 2) Set the gas appliance in its desired location.

INSTALLATION Option 1: REMOTE CONTROL Use the Masport Remote Control Kit approved for this unit. Use of other systems may void your warranty. The remote control kit comes with a hand held transmitter, a receiver and a wall mounting plate. 1) Choose a convenient location on the wall to install the receiver and the receptacle box (protection from extreme heat is very important). Run wires from the fireplace to that location. Use Thermostat Wire Table.
INSTALLATION WIRING This heater does not require a 240V A.C. supply for the gas control to operate. A 240V A.C. power supply is needed for the fan/blower operation. Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. NOTE: Switch must be in "OFF" position to operate remote.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1) Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance. 2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE 1) Turn OFF the flame switch. 2) Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to "OFF" position. 3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks. 4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS COPY OF THE LIGHTING PLATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING This appliance must be installed in accordance with local codes, if any; if not, follow the current CAN1-B149/ANSI Z 223.1 (Australia: AG601, New Zealand: NZS 5261) WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
MAINTENANCE in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather. 4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
MAINTENANCE REMOVING VALVE 1) Shut off the gas supply. 2) Remove the louvres (and bay door if it is on). 3) Open the flush door and remove the door. 4) Remove the logs. 5) Remove the burner/grate assembly by removing the two Phillips head screws and then lift the burner assembly out. 10) Undo the pilot tube from the valve with a 7/ 16" spanner. INSTALLING VALVE 11) Undo the quick drop out thermocouple nut on the valve with a 9mm (metric) spanner.
