Approvals and
Codes
1
Appliance Certification
High Altitude Installations
The Hearth & Home Technologies fireplace models
discussed in this Installers Guide have been tested to
certification standards and listed by the applicable
laboratories.
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved with-
out requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in
the U. S. A. and in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. or 10% for elevations
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value
of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To
identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas
utility.

Getting Started
2
The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voided
by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:
Introducing the Hearth & Home Technologies
Gas Fireplaces
Hearth & Home Technologies direct vent gas fireplaces are
designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from
outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to
the outside.
• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system com-
ponent.
• Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-
factured and approved by Hearth & Home Technologies,
not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or
other party approval of such component part or accessory.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any
unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged
separately and must be field installed.
• Where the unit is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in the
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air
drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside
building envelope in any manner.

mm
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantile-
ver floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air
infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per
regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, in re-
gions where cold air infiltration may be an issue, the inside
surfaces may be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air
tightness.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling firestops
should be caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps.
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the
appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of
plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting
cold up into the room.
* See Figure 3.
** The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 38).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction
is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to
the combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads
that secure the unit together.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THATALL
CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED
AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
Identifying Vent Components
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in-
clude one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The rela-
tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura-
tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings
and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
These models are approved to use DVP-series direct vent
pipe components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5).
Approved vent system components are labeled for identifi-
cation. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved com-
ponent of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside
an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection
openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required
pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYS-
TEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must
be followed if 45° elbows are used.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent
termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this
Installers Guide.
This model has vent starting collars on both the top and the
back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide
which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the
vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain
on the starting collar NOT used.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type
of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

B. Installing Vent Components
After determining which set of starting collars will be used
(top or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly.
1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars of
the fireplace:
Venting Out the Rear Vent
Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting
collars by cutting the strap at each end. (see Figure 18).
Follow the vent configuration tables accordingly.
• Make sure that the fiberglass gasket supplied in the
manual bag seals between the first 8 inch (203mm)
vent component and the outer fireplace wrap. Using 2
self-tapping screws from the manual bag secure that
gasket to the outer wrap (see Figure 19).
Remove the insulation from the REAR five inch flue, pull
the heat shield out from outside of the firebox.
WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE
THE FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF
THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE
REAR STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 18.

3. Continue Adding Vent Components
• If the combustible materials are not in place at the time
of install the elbow heat shield may be screwed to the
exhaust pipe (see Figure 22). Cut the tabs as shown
and bend down. Using the screws found in the manual
bag secure the heat shield to the pipe maintaining 3” to
4” between the pipe and shield.
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS FIREPLACE
REQUIRES THE USE OF HEAT SHIELD 570-290
ABOVE THE FIRST 900 ELBOW IN THE VENTING
SYSTEM.
To Install the Heat Shield:
SCREW
1. Determine if the heat shield is required. Do so by mea-
suring the vertical distance between the top horizontal
surface of the elbow to any combustible surface above.
If the distance is more than 4 inches, the heat shield is
NOT required. If it is 4 inches or less, the heat shield IS
REQUIRED. Install per the following steps. See Figure 20.

The diagram below shows how to properly position, level,
and secure the fireplace.
Figure 30. Minimum Height from Roof to
Lowest Discharge Opening
For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install
the vent sections:
• Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside
of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint
nail.
NAILING TABS
(BOTH SIDES)
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the
pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear-
ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.
Figure 31. Proper Positioning,
• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.
• Cut and frame the roof hole.
Leveling and Securing of a Fireplace
• Place the fireplace into position.
• Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters
and install the frame securely. Flashing anchored to the
frame must withstand heavy winds.
• Level the fireplace from side to side and front to back.
• Shim the fireplace with non-combustible material, such
as sheet metal, as necessary.
• Continue to install concentric vent sections up through
the roof hole (for inside vent installations) or up past the
roof line until you reach the appropriate distance above
the roof (for outside terminations).
• Secure the fireplace to the framing by nailing or screwing.

Step 7. The Gas Supply Line
NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes by a qualified installer ap-
proved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must
be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).
Use a wrench on
shut-off valve when
tightening gas line.
NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas
supply line should be purged of any trapped air.

A one-eighth (1/8) inch (3 mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping is
provided on the inlet and outlet side of the gas control for a
test gauge connection to measure the manifold pressure.
Use a small flat blade screwdriver to crack open the screw
in the center of the tap. Position a rubber hose over the tap
to obtain the pressure reading.
• After the gas line installation is complete, use a com-
mercially-available, non-corrosive leak check solution to
carefully check all gas connections for leaks.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO
!
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
The fireplace and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).
• At the gas line access hole, use insulation to re-pack
the space around the gas pipe.
• Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and
pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the
pipe and the outer casing.
The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).

ASSEMBLY
6000BE-IPI: TEMPERED
Hearth & Home Technologies fireplaces manufactured with
tempered glass may be installed in hazardous locations
such as bathtub enclosures as defined by the CPSC. The
tempered glass has been tested and certified to the require-
ments ofANSI Z97.1-1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety
Glazing Certification Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Ar-
chitectural Testing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-
31917.01.)
Figure 45.
Glass Assembly
• Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. Care
should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports
(from back to front).
This statement is in compliance with SPCS 16 CFR Sec-
tion 1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which
refers to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall ac-
company the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any
distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
• When placing Glowing embers onto the burner care
should be taken so that the ports are not covered. Place
the embers along side the port trail, but not on or in
between the ports (see Figure 46). Failure to follow this
procedure will likely cause lighting and sooting problems.
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory. Please con-
tact your dealer or distributor to order.
• Place Mystic embers on areas of base refractory away
from port holes. Use this material to give your fireplace a
realistic ash bed.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire-
place servicing.
• Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.
• Pull out and latch the glass clips into the groove on the
glass frame.

NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Cold Climate Switch
If cold air infiltration, condensation, or frost on the glass is
an issue due to cold climate, you may wish to operate the
fireplace in cold climate mode.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.
To change your Intellifire ignition to be used in the cold
climate mode refer to the instructions included with the kit.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
