installation review the clearances required for the Insert (see below) after it is installed in the Zero Clearance Kit.
Clearances to Combustibles for Insert
The minimum clearance from the side of the appliance
to a combustible side wall is 9 inches (229mm). See the
"Mantel Clearances" chart (Diagram 2) for the minimum

VENTING
1) This fireplace must be vented with a 4" (100mm)
diameter Class “B” vent. The installation of the
venting system must conform and be in accordance
with the natural gas installation code CAN/CGA -
B149 (Canada), ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.A.), AG 601
(Australia),andNZS5261(NewZealand). Minimum
chimney height from base of fireplace must be at
least 12 feet (3.7m).
NOTE: Cold Climate Installation
When this appliance is to be installed against a non-

be installed around the body of the fireplace.
2) Masonry Chimney Installation:
Note: Thedrafthoodmustbeinstalledparalleltothe
fireplace opening, as shown below. See
InstructionsinU20/E21InstallationManual.
This application can be connected to a masonry
chimney flue. Make sure the masonry chimney is
clean and in good working order. When an existing
masonry chimney is unlined and local experience
indicates that gas condensation may be a problem
or if local codes dictate, an approved liner should be
installed. Use“B”Venttobridgethegapbetweenthe
fireplace and the masonry chimney. To ensure
proper flue sizing and operation it is recommended
that the masonry chimney be lined with an approved

to cold air should be insulated in a chase. If
condensation occurs, a trap should be installed at
bottom of flue.
