FIREPLACE INSTALLATION SELECTING LOCATION To determine the safest and most efficient location for the fireplace, you must take into consideration the following guidelines: 1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figures 1 and 2). 2. Consider a location where the fireplace will not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. 3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier. 4.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION Continued 4. Check the level of the fireplace and shim with sheet metal if necessary. 5. Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, the ember protector (provided) must be placed between the hearth extension (not supplied) and under bottom front edge of fireplace to protect against glowing embers falling through. If fireplace is to be installed on a raised platform, a Ztype ember protector (not supplied) must be fabricated to fit your required platform height.

VENTING INSTALLATION Continued WARNING: The opening in collar around chimney at top of fireplace must not be obstructed. Never use blown insulation to fill chimney enclosure. 12 3/8" Galvanized Outer Pipe Hemmed End 8" Stainless Inner Pipe PART NO.
VENTING INSTALLATION Continued USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-8DM) 1. To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" length of double wall pipe (see offset chart and Figure 7). 2. Chimney weight above offset rests on return elbow. Straps must be securely nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 8, details A and B). 3. Maximum length of pipe between supports (return elbow or 12S-8DM) is 6' of angle run. Maximum of two 6' angle run sections per chimney system (see Figure 7).
VENTING INSTALLATION Continued FIRESTOP SPACERS (3600FS-8DM-1) Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney penetrates a floor space. Their purpose is to establish and maintain the required clearance between the chimney and the combustible materials. When the pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space above, the firestop must be placed onto the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 10.
VENTING INSTALLATION Continued PENETRATING ROOF To maintain a 1" clearance to the pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut. 1. Determine center point through which pipe will penetrate roof. 2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is the distance the roof drops over a given span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the roof drops 6" for each 12" one measure horizontally down from the roof rafters. 3.
VENTING INSTALLATION Continued Terminations/Spark Arrestor The fireplace system must be terminated with the listed round top or chase terminations. In any case, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the termination. The termination approved for this fireplace are the RT-8DM and RTL-8DM that can be used for flashing or chase and ET-8DM, ETO-8DM, ETL-8DM and ETLO8DM for chase style termination only. Figure 15 shows an RTL-8DM round top termination.
VENTING INSTALLATION Continued 10 FOOT RULE All flue gas outlet chimney terminations must extend a minimum of 3 feet in height above the highest point where it passes through the roof and must be at least 2 feet above the highest point of the roof that is within a horizontal distance of 10 feet (see Figure 17). Level of Flue Gas Outlet 10' 10' 2' Min. 3' Min. 2' Min. FINISHING FIREPLACE Combustible materials, such as wallboard, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc.
OPTIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION Gas line hook up should be done by your supplier or a qualified service person. Note: Before you proceed, make sure your gas supply is turned off. Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropriate fittings. 1. Remove knockout indentation on refractory or firebrick wall located above the refractory hearth floor. The knockout indentation must be firmly tapped with any solid object such as a 1/2" dowel until it is released. Remove fragmented portions of refractory (see Figure 19).
OPTIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION Continued WARNING: If the fireplace has been used for wood burning, the firebox and chimney must be cleaned of soot, creosote and ashes be a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if heavily heated. WARNING: When using a decorative vented gas log, the damper must be removed or permanently locked in the fully open position and the glass doors must be in the fully open position.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES Continued OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER HANDLE OPERATION The damper handle, which opens and closes the damper blade, is located in the upper front face of the fireplace. Pushing the handle into the left of the keyway slot will free the damper blade to automatically open. Pushing the handle in to the right will lock the damper blade closed (see Figure 22). The outside air kit handle is located at the left hand side of the fireplace (see Figure 22).
