AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION  
Unusually Tight Construction  
The air that leaks around doors and windows  
may provide enough fresh air for combustion  
and ventilation. However, in buildings of un-  
usually tight construction, you must provide

Code,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, the  
International Fuel Gas Code, or

following instructions to insure  
proper fresh air for this and  
other fuel-burning appliances  
in your home.  
construction where:  
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-  
side atmosphere have a continuous  
water vapor retarder with a rating of  
one perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or  
less with openings gasketed or sealed  
and  
b. weather stripping has been added on  
openable windows and doors and  
c. caulking or sealants are applied to  
areas such as joints around window  
and door frames, between sole plates  
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints,  
between wall panels, at penetrations  
for plumbing, electrical and gas lines  
and at other openings.  
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient  
than ever. New materials, increased insulation  
and new construction methods help reduce  
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather  
strip and caulk around windows and doors to  
keep cold air out and warm air in. During heat-  
ing months, home owners want their homes  
as airtight as possible.  
If your home meets all of the three criteria  
above, you must provide additional fresh  
air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors,  
page 9.  
While it is good to make your home energy  
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh  
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-  
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion  
and ventilation.  
If your home does not meet all of the three  
criteria above, proceed to Determining  
Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Location, page 8.  
Exhaust fans, fireboxes, clothes dryers and  
fuel burning appliances draw air from house  
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh  
air for these appliances. This will insure proper  
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.  
Confined and Unconfined Space  
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/  
NFPA54 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 ag-  
gregate 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 communicating  
directly with the space in which the appliances  
are installed*, through openings not furnished  
with doors, are considered a part of the un-  
confined space.  
PROVIDING ADEQUATE  
VENTILATION  
The following are excerpts from National Fuel  
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for  
Combustion and Ventilation.  
All spaces in homes fall into one of these three  
following ventilation classifications:  
1. Unusually Tight Construction  
2. Unconfined Space  
3. Confined Space  
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if  
there are doorless passageways or ventilation  
grills between them.  
The information on pages 7 through 9 will help  
you classify your space and provide adequate  
ventilation.

can support with the actual amount of Btu/  
Hr used.  
Determining if You Have a Confined or  
Unconfined Space  
_______ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can  
support)  
Use this work sheet to determine if you have  
a confined or unconfined space.  
_______ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr  
used)  
Space: Includes the room in which you will  
install heater plus any adjoining rooms with  
doorless passageways or ventilation grills  
between the rooms.  
Example: 63,360 Btu/Hr (maximum the  
space can support)  
79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of  
Btu/Hr used)  
1. Determine the volume of the space (length  
x width x height).  
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. Your  
options are as follows:  
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)  
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an  
adjoining room. If the extra space provides an  
unconfined space, remove door to adjoining  
room or add ventilation grills between rooms.  
See Ventilation Air From Inside Building,  
page 9.  
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.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See  
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine  
the maximum Btu/Hr the space can sup-  
port.  
Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 9.  
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/  
Hr size makes room unconfined.  
________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-  
mum Btu/Hr the space can support)  
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.  
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.

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.  
Installation Items Needed  
Before installing fireplace, make sure you  
have the items listed below.  
• external regulator for propane/LP unit only  
(supplied by installer)  
• piping (check local codes)  
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)  
• equipment shutoff valve *  
• test gauge connection *  
• sediment trap (optional)  
• tee joint  
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 15).  
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve  
in an accessible location. The equipment  
shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off  
the gas to the appliance.  
• pipe wrench  
• approved flexible gas line with gas con-  
nector (if allowed by local codes) (not  
provided)  
Check your building codes for any special  
requirements for locating equipment shutoff

We recommend that you install a sediment  
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 15,  
page 14. 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  
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them  
from going into fireplace gas controls. If sedi-  
ment trap is not installed or is installed wrong,  
fireplace may not run properly.  
3. Route gas line (provided by installer)  
from equipment shutoff valve to fireplace.

INSPECTING BURNERS  
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame  
patterns often.  
FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERN  
Figure 43 shows correct front burner flame  
pattern. Figure 44 shows incorrect front  
burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner  
flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top of  
blue flame.  
PILOT FLAME PATTERN  
Figure 41 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.  
Figure 42 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-  
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching  
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-  
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,  
the fireplace will shut down.  
If front burner flame pattern is incorrect, as  
shown in Figure 44  
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to  
Appliance, page 21)  
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown  
in Figure 42  
• see Troubleshooting, page 26  
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to  
Appliance, page 21)  
• see Troubleshooting, page 26  
Note: The correct pilot flame on natural gas  
units will have a slight curve, but flame should  
be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with  
the heater running. All slotted burner flame  
holes should be open with yellow flame pres-  
ent. All round burner flame holes should be  
open with a small blue flame present. Some  
burner flame holes may become blocked  
by debris or rust, with no flame present. If  
so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove  
blockage. Blocked burner flame holes may  
create soot.

particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with  
a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.  
5. Blow air into primary air holes on injector  
holder.  
CAUTION: You must keep  
control areas, burner and cir-  
culating air passageways of  
fireplace clean. Inspect these  
areas of fireplace before each  
use. Have fireplace inspected  
yearly by a qualified service  
person. Fireplace may need  
more frequent cleaning due to  
excessive lint from carpeting,  
bedding material, pet hair, etc.  
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now  
been pushed into burner repeat steps 3  
and 4.  
Clean pilot assembly also.Ayellow tip on pilot  
flame indicates dust and dirt in pilot assembly.  
There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two  
inches from where pilot flame comes out of  
pilot assembly (see Figure 46). With unit off,  
lightly blow air through air inlet hole. You may  
blow through a drinking straw if compressed  
air is not available.  
WARNING: Failure to keep  
the primary air opening(s) of

Inlet Holes  
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper  
amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides  
a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear  
of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air in-  
let holes prior to each heating season. Blocked  
air holes will create soot. We recommend that  
you clean the unit every three months during  
operation and have heater inspected yearly by  
a qualified service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner  
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust  
and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend  
using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI.  
Your local computer store, hardware store or  
home center may carry compressed air in a  
can. If using compressed air in a can, please  
follow the directions on the can. If you don’t  
follow directions on the can, you could dam-  
age the pilot assembly.
