SECTION I: FLUE SYSTEM FOR VENTED GAS FIREPLACE HEATER 

 
A.  Installation of a New System (See Installation Drawings at the end of this Manual) 

 
     This vented gas fireplace heater must be connected to four-inch (4”) diameter Type B-1 gas 
pipe. This product is manufactured and certified to NFPA 54 and NFPA 211 “current edition” 
standards. The minimum clearance of this pipe to combustible materials is one inch (1”).  

Never 

use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe with this unit. 

     Single wall pipe may be used between the stove and ceiling or stove and wall; a minimum of 
six inches (6”) clearance to combustible materials is required for this type of pipe. It is imperative 
that the single wall pipe be terminated at the ceiling or wall, by connecting to a double wall B-1 
Vent Pipe. Single wall pipe should never pass through a combustible wall or ceiling. Follow the 
pipe manufacturer’s instructions for venting through a combustible area. 
     Installation requirements for single wall pipe or Type B-1 Vent Pipe are specified in the ANSI 
Z223.1 or CAN1-B149 Standard “current edition.” These standards will also indicate proper 
clearances to combustibles. Your stove dealer or qualified service person will be familiar with 
these standards and can properly install the chimney system. 
     Connection of the pipe to the stove is accomplished by placing the pipe over the collar on the 
top or rear of the unit; then secure the connection with a screw through the pipe.
