CLEARANCES
MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below.
The clearances listed below are Minimum dis-
tances unless otherwise stated:
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is
made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
A major cause of chimney related fires is
failure to maintain required clearances
(air space) to combustible materials. It is
of the greatest importance that this fire-
place and vent system be installed only in
accordance with these instructions.

INSTALLATION
5) The unit does not have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top
of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so
combustible building materials can be laid
directly on top of the standoffs. You must
maintain these clearances from the vent to
combustible materials: Flex Termination
clearance 1-1/2" (38mm), Simpson Dura-
Vent clearance or (1-1/4" (32mm). Combus-
tible materials can be laid against the side
and back standoffs and the stove base.
FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) The facing allows for 1/2" (13mm) of dry-
wall material. The unit may be installed
directly on/or against standard combusti-
ble building materials.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material. The framed opening for
the assembled kit is 36-5/8" high x 40-1/4"
wide x 19" deep (930mm H x 1022mm W
x 483mm D). See Diagram 1.

The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.

VENTING
INTRODUCTION
1) The top standoffs are shipped installed.
The P42 uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
need to use heated room air for combustion and
losing warm room air up the chimney.
2) The Top Facing Support and the 2 Side
Nailing Strips can be installed at different
depths depending on the width of your
facing. Match the depths of the top facing
support and the side nailing strips.
a) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3
supplied screws into the 3 pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit.
See Diagrams 2 & 3 for the proper
position of the Top Facing Support for
the various material depths.
Note: These flue pipes must not be con-
nected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
venteddirectlytotheoutsideofthebuilding,and
never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own separate vent system. Common vent sys-
tems are prohibited.
VENT RESTRICTOR
A vent restrictor may be required. Check the
diagrams on pages 13 to 18 to determine if the
#6 restrictor is needed for your vent configu-
ration. If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restric-
tor using 4 screws per piece to the inside top
of the firebox.
Diagram 1
Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum
height for flex termination and
Simpson Dura-Vent terminations.
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.)
4) The top louvers must not be closer than 36"

INSTALLATION
RIGID PIPE VENTING
Horizontal or Vertical Terminations
The Rigid Pipe Venting System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items are
offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the P42.
Wall thickness is measured from the back
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl
furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl
siding standoff, to create a level surface to
mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must not
be recessed into siding. Measure the wall
thickness including furring strips.
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:

5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the center-
lineofthehorizontalpipe.Cutandframethe
10inch (254mm)squareholeintheexterior
wall where the vent will be terminated.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are
in the way when the venting 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.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, a 7" (178mm) diameter
(7-1/2" (190mm) for flex) hole is accepta-
ble.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to con-
nect the venting system to the appliance
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent GS system. Install the adaptor
after the unit is set in its desired location
otherwise the unit will not fit through the 36-
5/8" (930mm) high frame opening.

3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer flue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.

Note:
Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and
may present the possibility of a fire.
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indenta-
tions, located on the female ends of
pipes and fittings, are designed to slide
straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes and fittings, by orienting the four
pipe indentations so they match and
slide in to the four entry slots on the
male ends. (Diagram 1) Push the pipe
sections completely together, then

5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way

with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
A poor draft, or down drafting can result from
high wind conditions near big trees or adjoin-
ing roof lines, in these cases, increasing the
vent height may solve the problem.
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around
the liner must be maintained ex-
cept that only a 1" (25mm) clear-
ance is needed at the termination
end. We recommend framing a
10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm) (inside

TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pres-
sures over 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
Note: Output capacity. The efficiency rating
of the appliance is a product thermal efficiency
rating determined under continuous operating
conditions and was determined independently
of any installed system. Vent height may or may
not change your efficiency ratings.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regu-
lator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point.

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to
4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M90) with the orifice sup-
plied.
Note: To properly check gas pressure,
both inlet and manifold pressures
should be checked using the valve

unwrap them. The logs are fragile, handle
with care. Do not force into position.
4) Pull off ember size pieces of rockwool and
gently place them around the whole burn-
er. Do not compress the rockwool, leave it
loose for the most realistic looking embers.
Refer to the diagrams below for correct
placement of rockwool on the Natural Gas

MAINTENANCE
Unit Body/Firebox:
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause con-
densation and fog the glass. This
condensation is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the
glass heats up.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any
gas in the combustion chamber to escape.
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so
indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. De-
press the igniter button several times until
the pilot lights. After approximately one
minute, release the gas control knob. The
pilot flame should continue to burn. If the
pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation
allowing a longer period before releasing
gas control knob.

During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on and
become very difficult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
1) Always turn off the gas valve before
cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vacu-
uming at least once a year. When cleaning
the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the
logs are fragile and easily damaged.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counterclockwise to the "ON" posi-
tion.
2) Cleanapplianceanddoorwithadampcloth

2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annual-
ly, by an authorized field service person, to
ensure that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube and logs and is made of a different
gauge material from the rest of the firebox and
body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steel will expand and contract at slightly differ-
ent rates which can cause "ticking" and "crack-
ing" sounds. You should also be aware that as
there are temperature changes within the unit
these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is
normal for steel fireboxes.
FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properlycured, itisrecommendedthatyouburn
your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first
time you use it with the fan on. When first
operated, the unit will release an odour caused
by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any
oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke de-
tectorsinthehousemaygooffatthistime.Open
a few windows to ventilate the room for a
couple of hours.
6) Verify proper operation after servicing.
Note: Never operate the appliance with-
out the glass properly secured in
place.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very
slight "whisper" sound.
The glass panel may require cleaning
after the unit has cooled down.
