Burn-in Period  
During the first few times of operation of this  
appliance there will be some odor due to the  
curing of the paint and burning off of lubricants  
used in the manufacturing process. We recom-  
mend that you open windows and ventilate the  
house during the initial burns. The paint emits  
non-toxic odors during this process.

If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the  
maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, then  
the space is an unconfined space. You will

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks  
around the appliance with noncombustible  
material and wherever cold air could enter  
the room. It is especially important to insulate  
outside cavities between studs and under floor  
on which the appliance rests, if floor is above  
groundlevel. Gaslineholesandotheropenings  
should be caulked with high temperature caulk  
or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation. If

(actual amount of BTU/Hr used)  
Use the following equations to determine if you  
have a confined or unconfined space.  
The space in the above example is a confined  
space because the actual BTU/Hr used is more  
than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can sup-  
port. You must provide additional fresh air.  
1. Determine the volume of space — ft3.  
Length x Width x Height = _____ ft3  
(Include adjoining rooms with doorless  
passageways or ventilation grills between  
rooms).  
WARNING  
If the area in which the heater may  
be operated is smaller than that  
defined as an unconfined space,  
provide adequate combustion and  
ventilationairbyoneofthemethods  
described in the National Fuel Gas  
Code, ANSI Z223.1 1992, Section  
5.3 or applicable local codes.  
Example: 24' (L) x 16' (W) x 8' (H) = 3072  
ft3  
2. Divide the volume of space by 50 ft3 to  
determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space  
can support.  
(volume of space – ft3)/ 50 ft3 = (Maximum  
BTU/Hr the space can support)  
Example: 3072 ft3 / 50 ft3 = 61.44  
or 61,440 BTU/Hr the space can support.

ASSEMBLY STEPS  
Consult all local codes.  
IMPORTANT  
Holdheaterregulatorwithawrench  
topreventmovementwhenconnect-  
ing to inlet piping.  
Notes:  
Properly size and route the gas supply line  
from the supply regulator to the area where the  
appliance is to be installed per requirements  
outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA  
54 - latest edition (USA) or B149 - latest edition  
(Canada). Never use galvanized or plastic pipe.  
Gaslinesmustberouted,constructedandmade  
of materials that are in strict accordance with  
local codes and regulations. We recommend  
that a qualified individual such as a plumber  
or gas fitter be hired to correctly size and route  
the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing  
a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the  
applianceinvolvesnumerousconsiderationsof  
materials,protection,sizing,locations,controls,  
pressure,sediment,andmore.Certainlynoone  
unfamiliarandunqualifiedshouldattemptsizing  
or installing gas piping.  
Illustrations shown in this manual reflect  
“typical” installations with nominal dimen-  
sions and are for design and framing refer-  
ence only. Actual installations may vary due  
to individual design preferences. However,  
always maintain minimum clearances to

• The following steps represent the normal  
sequence of installation. Each installation  
is unique, however, and might require a  
different sequence.  
IMPORTANT  
Pack unfaced fiberglass insulation  
material (not provided) around the  
gas line access hole on appliance  
and all exterior gas line penetra-  
tion holes.  
Step 1. Position firebox prior to framing or  
into prepared framing.  
Removethegaslineaccesscoverplateoneither  
the left or right side of the fireplace (see Figure  
8 showing locations).  
Step 2. Field wire the main power supply to  
the appliance if a blower kit is to be installed  
(at the time of installation or a later date).  
An optional junction box kit and blower kit is re-  
quired(seePage15 for ordering information).  
Followtheinstallationandwiringinstructionson  
Pages 12 through 14). Electrical connections  
should only be performed by an experienced,  
licensed/certified tradesman.  
Install 1/2" min. to 1-1/2" max. inside diameter  
approved gas line through the firebox wall for  
connection to the Vent-Free room heater inside  
the firebox. Connect the gas line before the  
firebox is enclosed in the finished wall. Gas line  
holesandotheropeningsshouldbecaulkedwith  
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced  
fiberglass insulation.  
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS  
(FACTORY AND FIELD)  
Test all gas joints from the gas meter to the  
gas heater regulator for leaks using a gas leak  
test solution (also referred to as bubble leak  
solution).  
Ensure that a sediment trap is installed in the  
existing gas line, if not, install a sediment trap  
upstream of the heater to prevent moisture  
and contaminants from passing through trap  
to the heater controls and burners. Failure to  
do so could prevent the heater from operating  
reliably.  
Note: Using a soapy water solution as a leak  
detection solution is not recommended because  
the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings  
canresultinafalse-positiveleakdetectionreading  
if a gas leak sniffer is used. Soap residue can also  
result in corrosion over time.  
Step 3. Plumb gas line. (Gas connections  
should only be performed by an experienced,  
licensed/certified tradesman).  
Step 4. Install decorative type Vent-Free room  
heater per the instructions provided with the  
Vent-Free room heater.  
An external regulator must be used on all pro-  
pane(L.P.G).heaters,inadditiontotheregulator  
fitted to the heater, to reduce the supply tank  
pressure to 13" W.C. (maximum). Any copper  
tubing used to supply propane (L.P.G). from  
the tank must be internally tinned.  
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK  
FOR LEAKS.  
Step 5. Complete finish wall material, sur-  
round and optional hearth extension to your  
individual taste.  
Leak Test Procedure:  
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using  
a gas leak test solution.  
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting  
instructions label provided with gas logs).  
INSTALLATION  
WARNING  
Gas Line Installation  
Check Gas Type: The gas supply  
must be the same as stated on the  
heater’s rating plate. If the gas  
supplyisdifferent,DONOTINSTALL  
the heater. Contact your dealer for  
the correct model.  
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas  
leak detection solution. If bubbles are formed,  
or gas odor is detected, turn the gas control  
knob(off/pilot/on)totheOFFposition. Either  
tightenorrefastentheleakingconnection,then  
retest as described above.  
CAUTION  
Plumbing connections should  
only be performed by a qualified,  
licensed plumber. Main gas supply  
must be off when plumbing gas  
line to fireplace or performing  
service.  
C. When the gas lines are tested and found to  
beleakfree,rinseofftheleaktestingsolution  
from gas line fittings.

3. Note the floor construction, i.e. 2" x 6", 2" x  
8" or 2" x 10", single or double joists, type  
and thickness of floor boards.  
Note: The nailing flange and the area directly  
behind the nailing flange is exempt from the  
clearances described on the firebox clearance  
label.  
Firebox Framing  
Construct firebox framing following Figures  
9 through 11 and Table 1 on Page 11 for  
yourspecificinstallationrequirements.Referto  
Figure 8 on Page 10 for firebox dimensions.  
4. Use this information and consult your lo-  
cal building code to determine if you need  
additional support.  
Step 4. To safely operate the heater with con-  
sideration of the mantel clearances the canopy  
must be installed (Model UVF-36 Only).  
The firebox may be installed directly on a  
combustible floor or raised on a platform of  
an appropriate height. Do not place firebox on  
carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It  
may,however,beplacedonatwood,plywood,  
particle board, metal or other hard surfaces  
which extend the full width and depth of the  
enclosure. Be sure firebox rests on a solid  
continuous floor or platform with appropriate  
framing for support and so that no cold air can  
enter room from under the firebox.  
If you plan to raise the firebox, build the plat-  
form assembly then position firebox on top.  
Secure the platform to the floor to prevent  
possible shifting.  
IMPORTANT  
Under no circumstances shall the  
firebox top spacers be removed  
or modified (see Figure 8). The  
header may be in direct contact  
with the top spacers but must not  
be supported by them or notched to  
fit around them.  
Firebox Installation  
Step1. Frametheseappliancesasillustratedin  
Figures 9 through 11. All framing details must  
allow for a minimum clearance to combustible  
framing members as shown in Figures 2  
through6. Alsorefertoappliancespecifications  
on Page 10 . Headers may be in direct contact  
with the appliance top spacers but must not  
be supported by them or notched to fit around  
them. Allconstructionabovetheappliancemust  
be self supporting, DO NOT USE THE APPLI-  
ANCE FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.  
CAUTION  
Do not block the heat-circulating  
air inlets and outlets on these  
fireboxes. Doing so may create a  
potential fire hazard.  
Top Spacer  
The firebox may be positioned and then the  
framing built around it, or the framing may  
be constructed and the firebox positioned into  
the opening.  
Note: The framed depth from a framed wall,  
must always be measured from a finished  
surface. If a wall covering such as drywall is  
to be attached to the rear wall, then the depth  
must be measured from the drywall surface. It  
is important that this dimension be exact.  
8d Nail  
Usually, no special floor support is needed for  
the firebox, however, to be certain:  
Step 2. Level the firebox by checking the top  
edge of the firebox. Shim if necessary.  
1. Estimate the total weight of the firebox  
system and surround materials such as  
marble, brick, stone, etc., to be installed  
(see Product Referance Table on Page 10  
for appliance weight).  
Step 3. Fireplace should be secured to side  
framing members using the full length nailing  
tabs at the top and bottom of the fireplace front  
face. Use 8d nails (see Figure 7).  
Figure 7  
2. Measure the square footage of the floor  
space to be occupied by the system and  
surrounds.
