High Altitude Installations  
Appliance Certification  
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.  
The fireplace model discussed in this Installers Guide has  
been tested to certification standards and listed by the  
applicable laboratories.  
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.

Introducing the Hearth & Home  
Technologies Gas Fireplaces  
The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voided  
by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any  
responsibility for, the following actions:  
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  
component.  
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 acces-  
sory.  
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 optional trim doors are  
shipped in separate packages. The gas logs are 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.

Constructing the Fireplace Chase  
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the  
gas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run  
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to  
be, installed inside a chase.  
A
CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND  
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MAY VARY WITH THE  
TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT  
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL  
BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILD-  
ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE  
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.

Note: *If venting with (2) 900 elbows off rear of unit  
the dimensions C, D and E will change.  
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.  
Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,  
and Space Requirements  
Minimum Clearances  
from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials  
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever  
floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltra-  
tion barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional  
codes for the rest of the home.Additionally, Heat-N-Glo rec-  
ommends that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked and taped  
for maximum air tightness.

To further prevent drafts, the firestops should be caulked to  
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be  
caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being in-  
stalled on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of  
plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold  
up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for  
woodburning units if they are required.  
* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top  
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 34).  
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.

The top and back of the fireplace are defined by stand-offs.  
The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall extending  
past the face of the fireplace is 3 inches (76mm). The back  
of the fireplace may be recessed 16 1/4 inches (413mm)  
into combustible construction.

Step 2. Framing the Fireplace for DVP-Series  
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND  
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING  
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.  
and SL D-Series Pipe  
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is  
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-  
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-  
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.  
Framing should be constructed of  
2 X 4 lumber or heavier. The  
framing headers may rest on the  
fireplace stand-offs.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System  
Identifying Vent Components  
Approved vent system components are labeled for identifi-  
cation. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPO-  
NENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation instructions  
are included with each vent termination kit and should be  
used in conjunction with this Installers Guide. Figure 5  
shows vent system components and terminations.  
A. Vent System Approvals  
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.  
This model uses SL-D-series, direct vent components when  
using the TOP vent collars. This pipe is tested and listed  
as an approved component 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 when  
using DVP-Series and SL D-Series pipe.  
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.  
This model also uses DVP-series direct vent components  
when using the REAR vent collars.  
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one  
90° elbow. Maximum and minimum rise to run ratios  
must always be maintained in the vent system when  
using 45° elbows.  
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the  
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

Flex Vent  
The flex vent must be supported with the spacing between  
support intervals not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than ½  
inch sag between supports.  
CAP  
A support is required at each change in venting direction,  
and in any location where it is necessary to maintain the  
necessary clearance to combustibles.Asimple “up and out”  
installation (Figure 7) requires only enough support to main-  
tain the necessary clearance to combustibles. However, the  
vent attachment point and the firestop location are consid-  
ered to be supports.

If the installation is for a termination cap attached directly  
to the fireplace, skip to the sections, Install Firestops and  
Vent Termination.  
WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE  
THE FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF  
THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE  
REAR STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 17.  
!
2. Continue Adding Vent Components  
Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation in-  
structions.  
Venting Out the Top Vent  
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-  
ing component into place.  
Remove the top vent collar seal cap by cutting the strap at  
each end. Remove the insulation inside BOTH the 4”  
diameter and 6 5/8” diameter collars. (See Figure 17).  
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-  
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the  
vent system.  
Remove the 4” diameter heat shield from the 4” diameter  
collar by sliding it out.  
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point  
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-  
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-  
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)  
sheet metal screws.  
WARNING: THE REAR VENT COLLAR SEAL  
CAP MUST REMAINATTACHED TO THE REAR  
VENT COLLARS IF THE VENT SYSTEM ISATTACHED  
TO THE TOP STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 17.  
!
3. Install Support Brackets  
WARNING: FAILURE TO REMOVE INSULATION  
!
IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU ARE USING  
COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT FIREPLACE  
PERFORMANCE.  
Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation in-  
structions.  
Go to Step 4 Install Firestops.  
WARNING: YOU MUST LEAVE THE INSULA-  
TION IN PLACE IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU  
!
ARE NOT USING. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD  
CAUSE A FIRE.

SL-D and SL-Flex Series Venting Only:  
1. Attach the First Vent Component to the  
Starting Collars  
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars  
of the fireplace:  
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con-  
centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior  
beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com-  
ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.  
Figure 18. Adding Venting Components  
3. Install Support Brackets  
• When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up, ro-  
tate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4)  
turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.  
For Horizontal Runs - The vent system must be supported  
every five (5) feet of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support.  
• Slide the ceramic fiber pad over the first vent section and  
place it flush to the fireplace (see Figure 1). This will  
prevent cold air infiltration. High temp caulk may be used  
to hold the part in place. Continue to add vent compo-  
nents.  
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:  
• Place the pipe supports around the vent pipe.  
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.  
If the installation is for a termination cap attached directly  
to the fireplace, skip to the sections, Install Firestops and  
Vent Termination.  
For Vertical Runs - The vent system must be supported  
every eight (8) feet (2.4m) above the fireplace flue outlet by  
wall brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:  
• Attach wall brackets to the vent pipe and secure the wall  
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.  
2. Continue Adding Vent Components  
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-  
ing component into place.  
WALL BRACKET  
WALL STUD  
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-  
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component.  
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point  
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-  
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-  
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)  
sheet metal screws.

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at  
the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.  
DVP, SL-D and SL-Flex Series Venting:  
STEP 4. Install Firestops  
To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:  
For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both  
sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.  
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti-  
cal vent component.  
NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP or SLK-01TRD does not need  
an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall.  
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.  
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.  
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through  
either interior or exterior walls:  
Cut a 12” x 10“ (305mm x 25mm) hole through the wall for  
DVP-series or a 10” x 10” (254mm x 254mm) hole for SL-D-  
series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch  
(25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.  
• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-  
ing or plumbing runs.  
• Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary,  
to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.  
• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ-  
ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.  
• Cut a 10-inch X 10-inch (254mm X 254mm) hole through  
the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.  
• The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to-  
wards the top of the hole.  
• Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the  
ceiling joists.  
• Continue the vent run through the firestops.  
NOTE: There must be NO INSULATION or other  
combustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

To seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the  
vent system:  
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.  
• Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non-  
hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base  
where it meets the roof.  
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint  
nail.  
• Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a  
water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the  
joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.  
• 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.  
• Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe  
and snap into place.  
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.  
• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.  
• Cut and frame the roof hole.

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, all connec-  
tions must be tightened and checked for leaks with a  
commercially-available, non-corrosive leak check solu-  
tion. Be sure to rinse off all leak check solution following  
testing.  
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).  
!
• 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).  
• At the gas line access hole the gap between the supply  
piping and gas access hole can be plugged with non-  
combustible insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.

Step 11. 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  
Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace  
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the  
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is  
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.  
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.  
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at  
the beginning of this Installers Guide.  
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE LIGHTING  
CARD FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND  
!
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE  
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.  
Double-check for gas leaks  
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for  
possible gas leaks.  
After the Installation  
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for  
obstructions.  
LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH  
THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
!
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for  
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-  
minations or the front grilles.  
Lava Rock  
NOTE: There is more Lava Rock supplied than actually  
needed, save any extra for future use. DO NOT place any  
Lava Rock below or behind burner assembly or on the burner.  
Doing so could cause sooting or delayed ignition. Pour the  
Lava Rock from the plastic bag in front and to the left and  
right of the burner assembly.  
Double-check for faulty components  
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-  
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the  
fireplacecomponentsisDANGEROUSandvoidsallwarranties.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Fireplace Maintenance  
Checking Vent System  
Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually  
thereafter, more frequently if possible.  
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.  
Task: Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to  
ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect  
entire vent system for proper function.  
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main-  
tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you  
should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-  
ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.  
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each  
fireplace maintenance task.  
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING  
YOUR FIREPLACE.

sary after initial cleaning.  
By: Home owner.  
Replacing old ember material  
Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.  
By: Qualified service technician.  
Task: Remove and clean glass after the first 3 to 4 hours of  
use. After the initial cleaning, clean as necessary, particu-  
larly after adding new ember (flame colorant) material. Film  
deposits on the inside of the glass door should be cleaned  
off using a household glass cleaner. NOTE: DO NOT handle  
or attempt to clean the door when it is hot and DO  
NOT use abrasive cleaners.  
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.  
Replace old ember material with new ember material. Save  
the remaining ember material and repeat this procedure at  
your next servicing. For more information, see Placing  
Ember Material.
