want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning
appliances need fresh air for proper com-
bustion and ventilation.
Exhaustfans, fireplaces, clothesdryers, and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the
house to operate. You must provide ad-
equate fresh air for these appliances. This
will insure proper venting of vented fuel-
burning appliances.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This sys-
tem requires no matches, batteries, or other
sources to light fireplace.
If your home meets all of the three
criteria above, you must provide ad-
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors, page 6.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to Deter-
mining Fresh-Air Flow for Fireplace
Location on page 5.
BLOWER ASSEMBLY
(VSGF28PTC)
This fireplace has a blower assembly. The
blower operates thermostatically and has a
variablespeedcontrol.Theblowercirculates
heated air from the fireplace into the room.
Use of blower is optional. Optional blower
accessories are available for model
VSGF28PVA.
Confined Space and Unconfined
Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space
as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of
all appliances installed in that space and
an unconfined space as a space whose
volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. Rooms communi-
cating directly with the space in which
the appliances are installed*, through
openings not furnished with doors, are
considered a part of the unconfined space.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
(VSGF28PTC)
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Sec-
tion 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb
and a control valve. The thermostat controls
the heat output and flame height. This main-
tains a consistent room temperature. Even the
lowest setting provides realistic flames and
glowing embers from two burners. Selecting
highercomfortsettingsallowsfireplacetorun
longer,producinggreaterheatoutput.Atlower
comfort settings, the fireplace will run less.
Thisresultsinincreasedheatingcomfort.This
can also result in lower gas bills.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through 6 will
help you classify your space and provide
adequate ventilation.
This heater shall not be installed in a con-
fined space or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
VARIABLE MANUAL
CONTROL (VSGF28PVA)
This fireplace has a variable manual control
valve which allows the user to choose the
heat setting that best suits his needs. Any
setting between low and high may be se-
lected by simply turning the control knob.
Unusually Tight Construction
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only

tion grills between them.
The air that leaks around doors and win-
dowsmayprovideenoughfreshairforcom-
bustion and ventilation. However, in build-
ings of unusually tight construction, you
must provide additional fresh air.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR FIREPLACE LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install fireplace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height = _________________cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of
the space.
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
___________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 63,360 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
_________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
_________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 63,300 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
68,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr thespace cansupport.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework work sheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoin-
ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 6.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air from Outdoors, page 6.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no
additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space
or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of
themethodsdescribedintheNationalFuelGasCode, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA54Section5.3orapplicablelocalcodes.

NOTICE:Mostbuildingcodesdo
not permit concealed gas con-
nections. A flexible gas line is
provided to allow accessibility
fromthefireplace(seeFigure20).
The flexible gas supply line con-
nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.

Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• Phillips screwdriver
Installation must include an equipment
shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT
tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test
gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream
from fireplace (see Figure 17, page 10).
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not
provided)
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equip-
ment shutoff valve is for turning on or
shutting off the gas to the appliance.
1. Remove fireplace screen. Remove two
screws that hold fireplace screen in
place for shipping. These screws are
located near top of screen. Discard
screws. Lift fireplace screen up and pull
out to remove.
4. Attach flexible gas line to gas supply
(see Figure 20). Check connection of
flexible gas line attached to gas regu-
lator of fireplace (see Figure 20).
Check your building codes for any special
requirementsforlocatingequipmentshutoff
valve to fireplaces.
5. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 12.
2. Remove screws that attach log base
assembly to fireplace (see Figure 19).
Carefully lift up log base assembly and
remove from fireplace (see Figure 19).
6. Replace log base assembly back into
fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fire-
place base area while replacing log base
assembly. Make sure the entire flexible
gas line is in fireplace base area. Reat-
tach log base assembly to fireplace with
screws removed in step 2.
ApplypipejointsealantlightlytomaleNPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant
from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged fireplace valves.
Note:If adding the G8000 series brick liner
accessory, install it now. Follow instruc-
tions in G8000 accessory kit.
CAUTION:Usepipejointseal-
ant that is resistant to liquid pe-
troleum (LP) gas.

Gas Regulator
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 18.
Locate sediment trap where it is within
reach for cleaning. Install in piping system
between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate
sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps mois-
ture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into fireplace gas controls. If
sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, fireplace may not run properly.

Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation on implied warranties, or exclusion or limitation on damages may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
