These are a few facts that can help you under- • Each time you turn on your fireplace, you
stand and enjoy your direct vent fireplace:
may notice some amount of condensation
on the inside of the fireplace glass. This
is normal and will disappear after 10-20
minutes of operation.
• The venting system may be routed to the
outside of your home in several ways. It
may vent through the roof (vertical) or it
may vent to an outside/exterior wall (hori- • Your direct vent gas fireplace system

LOCATION AND SpACE
REqUIREMENTS
• You may paint the termination cap with
450º F (232º C) heat-resistant paint to
coordinate with the exterior finish.
Determine the safest and most efficient loca-
tion for your direct vent fireplace. Make sure
that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of
the venting system. Choose a location where
the heat output is not affected by drafts, air
conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure
2 shows some common locations. Be aware
of all restrictions and precautions before
deciding the exact location for your fireplace
and termination cap.
• There must not be any obstruction such as
bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or
utility buildings within 24" from the front of
the termination cap and the front of outside
air vent.
• Do not locate termination cap and outside
air vent where excessive snow or ice build
up may occur. Be sure to clear vent ter-
mination area after snow falls to prevent
accidental blockage of venting system.
When using snow blowers, do not direct
snow towards vent termination area.
When deciding the location of your fireplace,
follow these rules:
• Do not connect this fireplace venting to a
chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning fireplace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
fireplace in high traffic areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
Flush with a wall
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
• If your fireplace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible mate-
rial other than wood, it must be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the fireplace (see Figure 3).
Through exterior wall

Corner
• Your fireplace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or fram-
ing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface on back, sides or top
of your fireplace, except where standoff
spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your fireplace,
these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing material. See fram-
ing details, page 7.

There are two basic types of direct vent
installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
WARNING: Do not recess

Locking Lugs
1. Set fireplace in its desired location and de-
termine the route your horizontal venting
will take. Do not secure fireplace until all
venting has been installed. Some instal-
lations require sliding fireplace in and out
of position to make final venting connec-
tions. Figures 14 and 15 on page 12 show
different configurations for venting with
horizontal termination that will help you
decide which application best suits your
installation. Check to see if wall studs or
roof rafters are in the path of your desired
venting route. If they are, you may want
to adjust location of fireplace.

WARNING: Never run vent
downward as this may cause
excessive temperatures which
could cause a fire. Operation of
improperly installed and main-
tained venting system could
resultinseriousinjury, property
damage or loss of life.
1. Determine route your vertical venting will
take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or other
framing will obstruct venting system, con-
sider an offset (see Figure 15, page 14)
to avoid cutting load bearing members.
Note: Pay special attention to these instal-
lation instructions for required clearances
(air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Also note maximum
vertical rise of venting system and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations.

Note: If an offset is needed to avoid
obstructions, you must support vent pipe
every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this pur-
pose (see Figure 15). Whenever possible,
use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The
45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow
of flue gases.
Roof Flashing
5. Place flashing over pipe section(s) ex-
tending through roof. Secure base of
flashing to roof and framing with roofing

on page 8.
Note: You must increase vent height for
steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining
rooflines, steep pitched roofs and other
similar factors may cause poor draft or
down-drafting in high winds. Increasing
vent height may solve this problem.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
Note: If vent pipe passes through any occupied ar-
eas above first floor, including storage spaces and
closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame
and sheetrock enclosure with standard construc-
tion material. Make sure and meet the minimum
allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill
any required air spaces with insulation.
Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC direct vent
fireplace has been tested and approved for
elevations from 0-2000 feet.
Fireplaces for high altitude (-HA Models) are
for installations above 4,000 feet only. These
fireplaces are equipped with parts specific for
higher altitudes.
Vertical Termination Configurations
Figure 17 shows the configurations for vertical
termination.
When installing a non-high altitude fireplace at
an elevation above 2000 feet, you may need
to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce
input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level.
Check with your local gas company for proper
orifice size identification.
If area above is an attic or insulated area,
install firestop above framed hole.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation
above 4500 feet, check with local authorities.

CHECK GAS TYPE
For propane/LP connection only, the installer
must supply an external regulator. The exter-
nal regulator will reduce incoming gas pres-
sure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure
to between 11" and 14" of w.c. pressure. If
you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
fireplace regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 18. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Use proper gas type for the fireplace unit you
are installing. If you have conflicting gas types,
do not install fireplace. See retailer where you
purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace
according to your gas type.
INSTALLING GAS pIpING TO
FIREpLACE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified
service person must connect
fireplace to gas supply. Follow
all local codes.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to fireplace.
If pipe is too small, undue loss
of volume will occur.
CAUTION: For propane/LP
units,neverconnectfireplacedi-
rectly to the propane/LP supply.
This heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between
the fireplace and propane/LP
supply.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPTtap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.
NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see
Figure 19, page 17).
WARNING: For natural
gas, never connect fireplace to
private (non-utility) gas wells.
This gas is commonly known
as wellhead gas.
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equip-
ment shutoff valve) in an accessible location.
The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.
External Regulator
with Vent Pointing
Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you
have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
Propane/LP

Supply Tank
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas connec-

Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating equipment shutoff
valve to fireplaces.
WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged fireplace valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure
19. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping sys-
tem between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate
sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter
is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into fireplace gas controls. If sedi-
ment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed
wrong, fireplace may not run properly.

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the
proper flame. Alterations may have occurred
during shipping and handling. The pilot is
located on right hand side of burner.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly,
flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger-
ous. Inspect flames after installation to ensure
proper installation and performance.
The flame must envelope 1/4" of top of the
ignitor/sensor and grounding stem.
Figure 36 shows a typical flame pattern.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these
requirements:
If burner flame pattern differs from that de-
scribed:
• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT
clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise
to increase the flame to proper size (see
Figure 33, page 23). Do not remove the
adjustment screw.
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 23)
• see Troubleshooting, page 26

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During
start-up it is normal for condensation to form
on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and
other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface. During initial start-up a slight film may
form on the glass due to paint curing. The
glass should be cleaned several times with a
non-ammonia, nonabrasive household clean-
er and warm water after the first two weeks
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two
or three times during each heating season,
depending on the usage and circumstances
present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass
Door, page 19 of this manual when removing
glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Do not operate
fireplace with glass door un-
latched, removed, cracked or
broken.
pILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove material before cleaning burners
and replace when cleaning is complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned
with compressed air to remove dust, dirt
or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled
brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.
LOGS
WARNING: Only parts sup-
plied by the manufacturer
should be used when replacing
broken or damaged glass door
panels (see Replacement Parts,
page 36). Glass door panel are
complete units. No substitute
materials may be used.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any
carbon buildup on logs.
• Replace material periodically as needed.
See Replacement Parts, page 36.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting
system following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced im-
mediately by a qualified service person.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses while handling
or removing broken glass. Do
not remove if glass is hot. Keep
children and pets away from
glass.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flash-
light into the vent. Remove any foreign
material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive con-
densation. Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipes and fittings
and can be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass
Door, page 19). Vacuum all glass pieces with
a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
pieces are hot.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section
or fitting has been disturbed and loos-
ened. Check mechanical supports such
as wall straps for rigidity.
Use only glass door replacement intended for
this fireplace (see Replacement Parts, page
36 for detail on ordering). No substitutions
may be made. See Removing/Replacing
Glass Door, page 19 for instructions for re-
placing glass doors.
