Approvals and  
Codes

High Altitude Installations  
Appliance Certification  
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without  
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the  
U. S. A. and in Canada.  
The Heat & Glo fireplace models discussed in this Installers  
Guide have 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.  
Certification

Installation Codes  
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet  
(in Canada), check with local authorities.  
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 CSAC22.1 Canadian Electric  
Code (in Canada).  
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting

Getting Started

The Heat & Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat & Glo  
disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:  
Introducing the Heat & Glo Gas Fireplaces  
Heat & Glo direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to oper-  
ate 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 Heat & Glo.  
Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.  
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.  
Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-  
factured and approved by Heat & Glo, 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.

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.

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.

Figure 2. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,  
and Space Requirements  
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.  
Minimum Clearances  
from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials  
Inches  
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, Heat &  
Glo recommends that the inside surfaces be sheetrocked  
and taped for maximum air tightness.

Top ................................... 3 1/2 ................... 89  
Ceiling** ............................. 31 .................... 787  
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.  
* See Figure 3.  
** The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top  
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 39).  
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 2. Framing the Fireplace  
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.  
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND  
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING  
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.  
Framing should be  
constructed of 2 X 4  
lumber or heavier.  
Noncombustible zone is defined  
by 3” above the elbow for the  
entire width and depth (behind  
the front header) of the firebox.

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.

After determining which set of starting collars will be used  
(top or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly.  
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars of  
the fireplace:  
Venting Out the Rear Vent  
• 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 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.  
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.

• 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. Secure the heat shield to the pipe main-  
taining 3” to 4” between the pipe and shield.

To Install the Heat Shield:  
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.  
Figure 22  
• Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation in-  
structions.  
COMBUSTIBLE

• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-  
ing component into place.  
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-  
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the  
vent system.

2. Fasten the shield in place using the four pilot holes pro-  
vided in the part. The shield should be oriented such that  
the 13 1/8 inch dimension (longest dimension) is run-  
ning in the same direction the elbow is pointing. The  
shield should be centered directly above the elbow, and  
positioned so that it creates a 1/2 inch airspace between  
the shield and the combustible surface. See Figure 21.

5. Install Firestops  
For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at  
the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.  
For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both  
sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.  
To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:  
NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP does not need an exterior  
firestop on an exterior combustible wall.  
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti-  
cal vent component.  
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through  
either interior or exterior walls:  
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.  
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.  
• Cut a 10-inch by 12-inch (254mm x 305mm) hole through  
the wall.  
• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-  
ing or plumbing runs.  
NOTE: The center of the hole is one (1) inch (25.4mm)  
above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.  
• 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 an 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.

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.  
• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.  
• Cut and frame the roof hole.  
Figure 31. Proper Positioning,  
Leveling and Securing of a Fireplace  
• Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters  
and install the frame securely. Flashing anchored to the  
frame must withstand heavy winds.  
• Place the fireplace into position.  
• Level the fireplace from side to side and front to back.  
• 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).  
• Shim the fireplace with non-combustible material, such  
as sheet metal, as necessary.  
• Secure the fireplace to the framing by nailing or screwing.

Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as  
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible  
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the  
sheet rock and the fireplace.  
• Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. Care  
should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports  
(from back to front).  
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When  
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the  
bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.  
• 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 43). Failure to follow this  
procedure will likely cause lighting and sooting problems.

Glass Specifications:  
6000TRI-SP: TEMPERED  
6000TRI-IPI: TEMPERED  
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned  
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.  
Heat & Glo 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 requirements of ANSI  
Z97.1-1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certi-  
fication Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural Test-  
ing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)  
Placing the Ember Material  
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. To place  
the ember material:  
• Pull the four glass latches out of the groove on the glass  
frame. Remove glass door from the unit (see Figure 42).

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.”  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace  
Air Shutter Setting  
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:  
This fireplace has an adjustable air shutter (which controls  
the primary air) factory set for the minimum vertical vent run  
(see Figure 44). If your installation has more than the  
minimum required vertical vent length, adjustment of the air  
shutter may be necessary to obtain optimal flame  
appearance. This should be adjusted by a qualified  
installer at the time of installation.  
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.  
Double-check for gas leaks  
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for  
possible gas leaks.  
By pushing the air shutter handle in, you will be closing the  
air shutter. To adjust loosen the wing nut. Care should be  
taken when adjusting the air shutter so as not to cause the  
fireplace to soot. If sooting occurs the air shutter will need  
to be opened by pulling the handle out. When finished tighten  
wing nut.  
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.  
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.  
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

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.

Replace old ember material with new Mystic Ember pieces.  
Save the remaining ember material and repeat this procedure  
at your next servicing. For more information, see Placing  
Ember Material.
