Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the
fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in
compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-
B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United States), or to the
CSA C22.1Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A.
and Canada.
High Altitude Installations
A.G.A./CGA Design Certified and U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and
approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to 4,500
feet in Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United
States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent
(4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has
been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper
orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in
Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check
with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for
your location.

around the 5 inch (127 mm) fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied
with the fireplace seals between the first
8-5/8 inch (219 mm) vent component and the outer
fireplace wrap.
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the
concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally
spaced interior beads into the fireplace collar or
previously installed component end with four (4)
equally spaced indented sections.
• When the internal beads of each 8-5/8 inch
(219 mm) outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section
clockwise about one-quarter (1/4) turn. The vent
pipe is now locked together.
• The first 90° elbow installed in the vent system of a
rear venting fireplace MUST BE in a vertical posi-
tion.

For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and
install the vent sections:
• Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the under-
side of the roof, and drive a nail through the
centerpoint.
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the
centerpoint nail.
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions
depend on the pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a
1-inch (25.4 mm) clearance from the vertical vent
pipe to combustible materials.
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.
• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.
• Cut and frame the roof hole.
• Use framing lumber the same size as the roof
rafters and install the frame securely. Flashing
anchored to the frame must withstand heavy winds.
• 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).

Step 11
Before Lighting
the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the
following:
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section
at the beginning of this Installers Guide.
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 terminations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE
replaced with an approved component. Tampering
with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and
voids all warranties.
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.
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.
