ratios when using 45° elbows.  
WARNING: Read all instruc-  
tions completely and thoroughly  
before attempting installation.  
Failure to do so could result in  
serious injury, property damage  
or loss of life. Operation of im-  
properlyinstalledandmaintained  
venting system could result in  
serious injury, property damage

a separate solid fuel burning ap-  
pliance.Eachgasappliancemust  
use a separate vent system. Do  
not use common vent systems.  
For two-story applications, firestops are re-  
quired at each floor level. If an offset is  
needed in the attic, additional pipe and el-  
bows will be required.  
Youmayuseachasewithaventtermination

must also be used to re-seal any  
connections after maintenance to  
venting system.  
Your Comfort Glow direct-vent fireplace  
has been tested for a minimum 3' rise with a  
maximum 10" wall thickness. The maxi-  
mum horizontal run is 20' with 8' vertical  
rise (see Installation for Horizontal Termi-  
nation, page 8). The maximum vertical run  
is30'(seeInstallationforVerticalTermina-  
tion, page 12).  
WARNING: Horizontal sec-  
tions of this vent system require  
a minimum clearance of 2" from  
the top of the pipe and 1" mini-  
mum to the sides and bottom.  
Vertical sections of this system  
require a minimum of 1" clear-  
ancetocombustiblematerialson  
all sides of the pipe.  
It is very important that the venting system  
maintain its balance between the combus-  
tion air intake and the flue gas exhaust.  
Certain limitations apply to vent configura-  
tions and must be strictly followed.  
INSTALLATION PLANNING  
NOTICE: Failure to follow these  
instructionswillvoidthewarranty.  
There are two basic types of direct-vent  
installation:  
Installing Vent System in a Chase  
INSTALLATION  
PRECAUTIONS  
• Horizontal Termination  
Vertical Termination  
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built  
to enclose venting that runs along the out-  
sideofabuilding.Achaseisnotrequiredfor  
such venting.  
Consultlocalbuildingcodesbeforebeginning  
the installation. The installer must make sure  
to select the proper vent system for installa-  
tion. Before installing vent kit, the installer  
must read this fireplace manual and vent kit  
instructions.  
It is important to select the proper length of  
vent pipe for the type of termination you  
choose. It is also important to note the wall  
thickness.  
NOTICE: Treatment of firestops  
and construction of the chase  
may vary from building type to  
buildingtype.Theseinstructions  
are not substitutes for the re-  
quirements of local building  
codes. You must follow all local  
building codes .  
For Horizontal Termination: Select the  
amount of vertical rise desired. The horizon-  
tal run of venting must have 1/4" rise for  
every 12" of run towards the termination.  
Only a qualified service person should in-  
stall venting system. The installer must fol-  
low these safety rules:  
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for  
protection  
WARNING:Neverrunthevent  
downward as this may cause ex-  
cessive temperatures which  
could cause a fire.  
Note:Wheninstallinginachase,youshould  
insulate the chase as you would the outside  
walls of your home. This is especially im-  
portant in cold climates. Minimum clear-  
ance between vent pipes and combustible  
materials such as insulation is 1".  
• Use extreme caution when using ladders  
or when on roof tops  
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations  
in walls and ceilings  
You may use one or two 90° elbows in this  
ventconfiguration. SeeHorizontalTermina-  
tion Configurations on pages 10 and 11.  
The following actions will void the war-  
ranty on your venting system:  
For Vertical Termination: Measure the dis-  
tance from the fireplace flue outlet to the  
ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the verti-  
cal rise in an attic or second story, and allow  
for sufficient vent height above the roofline.  
After framing the chase (see Framing and  
Finishing on page 4) install the vent system  
by following the installation instructions.  
• Installation of any damaged venting  
component  
• Unauthorized modification of the vent-  
ing system

INSTALLATION FOR  
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION  
1. Determine the route your horizontal  
venting will take. Note: The location  
of the horizontal vent termination on the  
exterior wall must meet all local and  
national building codes and must not be  
easily blocked or obstructed.  
12" Minimum  
WARNING:Donotrecessvent  
terminal into a wall or siding.  
Snorkel terminations are available for  
terminations requiring a vertical rise on  
the exterior of the building (see Figures  
9 and 10). Snorkel kit CSVK is also  
available (see page 15). Follow the  
same installation procedures as used for  
standard horizontal terminations. If in-  
stalling the snorkel termination below  
grade (basement applications), you must  
provide proper drainage to prevent wa-  
ter from entering the snorkel termina-  
tion (see Figure 10). Do not back fill  
around the snorkel termination.  
Figure 9 - Snorkel Termination  
Snorkel  
2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have spe-  
cial twist-lock connections. Assemble  
the desired combination of pipe and el-  
bows to the appliance adaptor with pipe  
seams oriented towards the wall or floor.  
Twist-lock Procedure: The female  
ends of the pipes and fittings have four  
locking lugs (indentations). These lugs  
will slide straight into matching slots on  
the male ends of adjacent pipes and fit-  
tings. (All connections must be sealed  
with high temperature silicone sealant  
as specified in the second warning state-  
ment on page 7.) Push the pipe sections  
together and twist one section clockwise  
approximately one-quarter turn until the  
sections are fully locked. See Figure 11,  
page 9. Note: Horizontal runs of vent  
must be supported every three feet. Use  
wall straps for this purpose.  
12" Minimum  
Adequate drainage  
Flexible vent pipe must be installed with  
spacer springs every 12". See Figure 11,  
page 9.All connections must be clamped  
tightly and sealed with high temperature  
silicone sealant as specified in the sec-  
ond warning statement on page 7.

DIRECT-VENT FIREPLACE (NATURAL/PROPANE/LP)  
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend  
up through the hole.  
Flat Ceiling Installation  
VENTING  
1. Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling us-  
ing the locating hole as a center point.  
The opening should be framed to  
10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) inside di-  
mensions, as shown in Figure 12 on  
page 9 using framing lumber the same  
size as the ceiling joists. If the area  
above the ceiling is an insulated ceil-  
ing or a room, nail firestop from the  
top side. This prevents loose insulation  
from falling into the required clearance  
space. Otherwise, install firestop below  
the framed hole. The firestop should be  
installed with no less than three nails  
per side (see Figure 22).  
INSTALLATION  
Note: If an offset is needed to avoid  
obstructions, you must support the vent  
pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for  
this purpose (see Figure 21). Whenever  
possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90°  
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less re-  
striction to the flow of the flue gases  
and intake air.  
Continued  
INSTALLATION FOR  
VERTICAL TERMINATION  
1. Determine the route your vertical vent-  
ing will take. If ceiling joists, roof  
rafters, or other framing will obstruct  
the venting system, consider an offset  
(see Figure 21) to avoid cutting  
loadbearing members. Note: Pay spe-  
cial attention to these installation in-  
structions for required clearances (air  
space) to combustibles when passing  
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclo-  
sures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air  
spaces with insulation.Also note maxi-  
mum vertical rise of the venting sys-  
tem and any maximum horizontal off-  
set limitations. Offsets must fall within  
the parameters shown in Figure 8 on  
page 6.  
5. Place the flashing over the pipe  
section(s) extending through the roof.  
Secure the base of the flashing to the  
roof and framing with roofing nails. Be  
sure roofing material overlaps the top  
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure  
21. There must be a 1" clearance from  
the vent pipe to combustible materials.  
2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe  
and elbows necessary to reach from the  
fireplace flue up through the firestop.  
All connections must be sealed with  
high temperature silicone sealant as  
specified in the second warning state-  
ment on page 7. Be sure all pipe and  
elbow connections are fully twist-  
locked (see Figure 11, page 9).  
6. Continue to add pipe sections until the  
height of the vent cap meets the mini-  
mum building code requirements de-  
scribed in Figure 8 on page 6. Note:You  
must increase vent height for steep roof  
pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooflines,  
steep pitched roofs, and other similar fac-  
tors may cause poor draft or down-draft-  
ing in high winds. Increasing the vent  
height may solve this problem.  
2. Set the fireplace in desired location.  
Drop a plumb line down from the ceil-  
ing to the position of the fireplace exit  
flue. Mark the center point where the  
vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a  
small locating hole at this point.  
3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating  
hole as a center point. (Cover any ex-  
posed open vent pipes before cutting  
hole in roof.) The 10"x10" hole must  
be measured on the horizontal; actual  
length may be larger depending on the  
pitch of the roof. There must be a 1"  
clearance from the vent pipe to combus-  
tible materials. Frame the opening as  
shown in Figure 12, page 9.  
7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last  
section of vent pipe and seal outer pipe  
connection with high temperature sili-  
cone sealant as specified in the second  
warning statement on page 7.  
Note: If the vent pipe passes through any  
occupied areas above the first floor, including  
storage spaces and closets, you must enclose  
pipe. Youmayframeandsheetrocktheenclo-  
surewithstandardconstructionmaterial.Make  
sure and meet the minimum allowable clear-  
ances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the  
required air spaces with insulation.  
Drop a plumb line from the inside of  
the roof to the locating hole in the ceil-  
ing. Mark the center point where the  
vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a  
small locating hole at this point.  
If area above is a room, install firestop  
above framed hole.

8. Plug in blower power cord.  
a. If your fireplace system is installed  
as a freestanding unit with an ac-  
cessory mantel, determine whether  
the power cord will exit the left side  
or the right side of the firebox. In-  
stall one plastic bushing provided  
into the 1 1/2" hole in the outer cas-  
ing through which the power cord  
will exit. Install the second plastic  
bushing provided into the floor sup-  
port bracket if exiting through the  
right side (see Figure 33). Route  
power cord through (both) plastic  
bushing(s) and plug the power cord  
into a properly grounded 3-prong  
wall receptacle near the firebox.  
b. If your fireplace system installation  
is recessed and/or pre-wired, a  
qualified installer must make all elec-  
trical connections for the outlet kit  
included with the fireplace.  
11. Connect or reconnect gas supply to fire-  
place per Connecting Fireplace to Gas  
Supply on page 19 of this manual.  
WARNING: Never touch the  
blower wheel while in operation.  
10. Peel off the backing paper and stick the  
supplied wiring diagram decal on the  
firebox bottom approximately 3" to the  
right of the blower speed control  
bracket (Figure 33).  
WARNING: A qualified ser-  
vice person must connect fire-  
place to gas supply. Follow all

cation. The main gas valve is for turning on  
or shutting off the gas to the appliance.  
INSTALLATION  
Continued  
Check your building codes for any special  
requirements for locating manual shutoff  
valve to fireplaces.  
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO  
FIREPLACE LOCATION  
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male  
threads. This will prevent excess sealant  
from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe  
could result in clogged fireplace valves.  
WARNING: A qualified ser-  
vice person must connect fire-  
place to gas supply. Follow all  
local codes.  
Installation must include a manual 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 35).  
CAUTION:Usepipejointseal-  
ant that is resistant to liquid pe-  
troleum (LP) gas.  
CAUTION: For propane/LP  
units, never connect heater di-  
rectly to the propane/LP supply.  
This heater requires an external  
regulator(notsupplied).Installthe  
external regulator between the  
heater and propane/LP supply.  
Propane/LP  
Supply Tank  
We recommend that you install a sediment  
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in  
Figure 35. Locate sediment trap/drip leg  
where it is within reach for cleaning. Install  
in piping system between fuel supply and  
heater. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where  
trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A  
sediment trap traps moisture and contami-  
nants. This keeps them from going into  
fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip  
leg is not installed or is installed wrong,  
fireplace may not run properly.

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-amonia, non-  
abrasive household cleaner and warm water  
afterthefirsttwoweeksofoperation.There-  
after, clean the glass two or three times  
during each heating season, depending on  
the usage and circumstances present. Refer  
toRemoving/ReplacingGlassDooronpage

for cleaning.  
MAINTENANCE  
WARNING: Turn off fireplace  
and let cool before cleaning.  
PILOT AND BURNERS  
• Remove ember 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.  
CAUTION:Youmustkeepcon-  
trol areas, burners, and circulat-  
ing air passageways of fireplace  
clean. Inspect these areas of fire-  
place before each use. Have fire-  
place inspected yearly by a quali-  
fiedserviceperson.Fireplacemay  
need more frequent cleaning due  
to excessive lint from carpeting,  
bedding material, pet hair, etc.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and  
safety glasses while handling or  
removing broken glass. Do not  
remove if glass is hot. Keep chil-  
dren and pets away from glass.  
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 imme-  
diately by a qualified service person.  
WARNING: Do not use abra-  
sivecleanersasthismaydamage  
glass. Use a non-abrasive house-  
hold glass cleaner to clean glass.  
Do not clean glass when hot.  
If glass has been broken, carefully remove  
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass  
Door, page 22). Vacuum all glass pieces  
with a shop vac.  
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flash-  
light into the vent. Remove any foreign  
material.  
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if  
pieces are hot.  
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 el-  
bows, or exterior portions of the sys-  
tem being exposed to cold weather.  
Use only the ceramic glass door replace-  
ment intended for this fireplace (see Re-  
placement Parts, page 32 for detail on or-  
dering). No substitutions may be made. See  
Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 22  
for instructions for replacing glass door.  
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sec-  
tion or fitting has been disturbed and  
loosened. Check mechanical supports  
such as wall straps for rigidity.
