D. How to Use the Vent Graph
E. Venting Guidelines
Notes: The maximum horizontal vent run is 15 ft. (5m)
when the vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m).
The minimum horizontal vent run is 11 in.
(279mm).
Minimum wall thickness is 4 in. (102mm). Maximum
wall thickness is 20 in. (508mm).
1. Measure the distance from the top of appliance to the
center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw a
horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical
axis across until it intersects with the slanted line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to
the bottom of the graph.
Horizontal sections require a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise for
every 12 in. (305mm) of horizontal travel.
Exterior Vent Diameter = 6-5/8 in. (168mm); Inner
Vent Diameter = 4 in. (101mm).
Horizontal sections require noncombustible support
every 3 ft. (914mm), e.g. plumbing tape.
3. The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the
graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.
Example 1:
Example 2:
If the vertical dimension from the top of the
appliance to the center of the 90° elbow is
7 ft. (2m), the horizontal run to the base of
the temination cap must not exceed 13 ft.-
2 in. (4m).
If the vertical dimension from the top of the
appliance is 21 ft. (6m), the horizontal run
to the base of the termination cap must not
exceed 7 ft.- 3in. (2m).
EXCEPTION FOR REAR VENT KIT (Snorkel Kit
#844-8921), HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:
When installing the Sapphire in a rear vent configuration
with no vertical rise: a snorkel kit must be used, and
a derating orifice must be installed. The appropriate
orifice is supplied with the rear vent kit.
4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914mm) of vent
pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1 ft. (305mm)
of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from vent pipe
run. A single vertical to horizontal 90° elbow is already
calculated into the allowable 15 ft. (5m) run. Each
additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal
distance by 3 ft. (914mm).
For any vertical rise when rear venting, a minimum of 2
ft. (610mm) vertical must be used prior to any horizontal
run.
The maximum horizontal vent run is 2 ft. (610mm).
The maximum horizontal vent run with a 45° elbow is 14
in. (356mm).
Example: The use of 3 elbows would reduce the
allowable horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 - 1 =
2 elbows x 3 ft. = 6 ft.; 15 ft. max. - 6 ft.=
9 ft. max.)
No external minimum rise is required. The minimum
horizontal vent run is 11 in. (279mm).
NOTE: IF YOUR INSTALLATION FALLS WITHIN A
SHADED AREA ON THE GRAPH, THE DAMPER MUST
BE USED.
NOTE: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word
damper shall be replaced with the words flue restrictor.

Step 3.
NOTE:
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for a
10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 5.5. Cut and frame the
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If
the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.
(1) Installation requires a minimum of 11 in. (279mm)
horizontal run. Each 1 ft. (305mm) of horizontal vent
run must include a 1/4 in. (6mm) of vertical rise towards
the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward.
This could cause high temperatures and may present
the possibility of a house or structure fire.
(2) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an
exterior wall must meet all local and national building
codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed,
see Figure 4.4 on page 9.
(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior
of the building, the HHT RHVK snorkel kit (Part #844-
8921) is available with a 14 in. (356mm) and a 36 in.
(914mm) tall snorkel termination cap. Follow the
same installation procedures as used for standard
horizontal terminations. If the snorkel termination must
be installed below grade (i.e. basement application),
proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from
entering the snorkel termination. Do not backfill around
snorkel termination.

code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-B149
Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes. Note that
for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased.
See Roof Pitch Table (Figure 4.3, on page 8). In high wind
conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or
down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or
switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this
problem.

Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary
to reach from the appliance up through the round support
box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their
fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 5.
Step 8.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in
the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as
specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows
necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble
up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may
be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The
galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its
higher corrosion resistance.
Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the
top of the flashing (Figure 5.15). Use non-hardening sealant
above and below the joint between the storm collar and the
pipe.

NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions,
it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 ft.
(914mm) to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and
possible separation. Wall straps are available for this
purpose, Figure 5.12, page 15.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow
of flue gases and intake air.

Step 6.
Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding through
the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with
roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 5.14. Verify that the
chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof pitch
table, Figure 4.3, on page 8.

section, page 15.
Step 2.
Using the plumb-bob, mark the center line of the venting
system on the ceiling, and drill a small hole through the
ceiling and roof at this point. From the roof, locate the drill
hole and mark the outline of the cathedral ceiling support
box.
Step 3.
Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to cut
the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the hole 1/8 in.
(3mm) larger than the support box outline.

Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired sections
of direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry
penetration.
SEALANT-ADHESIVE
Figure 5.25
Step 2.
Oncethecenterpointofthepenetrationhasbeendetermined,
cut a 6 in. (152mm) diameter hole in the masonry. If the hole
is too large, the retro connector might not mount properly; if
the hole is too small, the appliance might starve for intake
air. If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut
and frame a 10 in. (254mm) square opening in the wall
(centered around the 6 in. (152mm) masonry opening). If
there is sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry the
10 in. (254mm) opening is still needed, but does not need
to be framed. If the hole is framed a round support box/wall
thimble is required. This allows the retro connector to mount
directly on the masonry and provide the correct clearances
to combustibles (Figure 5.24).
Step 4.
To determine the length of flex needed, measure from 3 in.
(76mm) above the top of the flashing down to the level of the
opening. Add the distance from the center of the chimney
out through the wall. Cut a piece of 4 in. (102mm) flex to this
length (extended to its nominal length). Be sure to leave 2-3
in. (51-76mm) of flex above the existing chimney to allow for
connection to the termination kit.
Step 5.
Connect the flex liner to the top adapter using three sheet
metal screws (Figure 5.20, page 19).
Step 6.

to and after starting the fireplace.
Do NOT change the valve settings.
•
•
This valve has been preset at the factory.
Changing valve settings may result in fire
hazard or bodily injury.
Before making the gas connection, ensure that the appliance
you are installing is designed for the type of gas being
supplied. This information can be found on the Ratings Label
under the appliance. If the appliance has been converted to
propane (LP), the valve cover should have a label stating
that the unit has been converted to propane.
Omni-Test Laboratories listed gas appliances are tested
and approved without requiring changes for elevations
from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 feet in
Canada.
Connect the gas line at the 3/8 in. (9.5mm) pipe connector
on the valve at the back of appliance. We recommend
connecting the appliance with an approved flex gas line.
If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you must
connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. If the heating value of the
gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify
the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
You must supply a manual shut-off valve in a visible location
within 3 ft. (914mm) of the appliance.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting appliance it will take a short time for air to
purge from lines. When purging is complete the appliance
will light and operate normally.
•
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
Air only needs to be purged again if gas valve has been
turned to the OFF position.

D. After Appliance is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
CAUTION
Prevent accidental appliance operation when not
attended.
Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent
or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of
time.
•
•
When you light your appliance, you may notice that it pro-
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If
you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three
to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second
burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation
on the glass is normal.
•
Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.
CAUTION
Smoke and odors released during initial operation.
NOTE: The appliance should be run three to four hours
on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the
appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure
the products used in the paint and logs.
•
•
•
Open windows for air circulation.
Leave room during initial operation.
Smoke may set off smoke detectors.
Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.
WARNING
Fire Hazard.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids
clear of appliance.
•
•
•
Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s
vicinity.
Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or similar liquids in this appliance.
Combustible materials may ignite.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
High Temperatures.
Keep combustible household items away from appliance.
Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.
•
Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front of
appliance.
•
Keep furniture, draperies away from appliance.
E. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms,
this condensation will disappear.
Blue flames
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance
is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours.
This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from
manufacturing. If appliance has not been used for some time, dust can build up and
cause an odor.
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be
cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the
manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance cleaner may be
necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down,
similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect
the operation or longevity of the appliance.
