3. Select the side of the fireplace that the gas conduit is to be
run through, and remove the refractory from that side by
removing the refractory clip. Knock out the remainder of the
hole in the refractory using a hammer and a chisel. There is
also a sheet metal knockout on the outer casing and
firebox lining to be removed.
WARNING: THE OUTSIDE AIR KIT VENT MUST VENT
TO THE OUTSIDE ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL THE
HOOD ASSEMBLY IN A GARAGE, CARPORT, ATTIC,
OR BASEMENT.
4. Locate a position in the outside wall to install the hood
assembly, ensuring the duct is long enough. Cut a hole
through the outside wall approximately 75mm(3") in diameter
and slide the hood assembly in from the outside wall and
seal it with a suitable caulking.
5. Cut the flexible air duct to suit your installation, and attach
both ends using the duct clamps.
FAN KIT INSTALLATION
(See Appendix B)
1. The Fan Kit is an option that can be hooked up directly to
any electrical supply at the time of the fireplace installation.
or simply plugged into a nearby electrical outlet if installed at
a later date.
2. The fan is contained in a single mounting unit and has
760mm(30") of electrical wire with a three prong plug attached.
To attach the fan to the fireplace, insert the fan through the
lower grille opening and attach the fan assembly to the
bottom of the fireplace.
3. Your Fireplace has been designed to accept the electri-
cal wiring through either side of the unit by running the elec-
trical wire into or out of the unit through the front support
support channel located on the bottom of the fireplace.
CAUTION: HAVE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN DO ANY
OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OR HOOK-UP OF
YOUR FAN KIT
3. Open the lower grille and slide the air stub and flap
assembly through the hole in the Outer Casing. Ensure that
the flap on the assembly opens so that the air flow is directed
towards the back of the fireplace, and fasten the assembly
to the fireplace with four screws to hold the assembly in
place.
GAS LINE INSTALLATION
1. Your fireplace is designed to accept a 19mm (3/4")
gas line for a decorative gas appliance or a gas log ignitor.
Have the appliance and the gas line installed by a qualified
gas fitter in accordance with all local building codes. The
gas pipe installation is intended for connection to approved
decorative gas appliance or gas log ignitor only in accordance
with CAN\CGA-B149 in Canada, and the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 in the United States.
2. In order to install the gas line conduit you will require a
piece of 19mm(¾") nominal diameter nipple 152mm(6")
long and two 25mm(1") diameter electrical conduit locknuts
to fit the pipe.
3. Select the side of the fireplace that the gas conduit is to
4. Insert the pipe so that it passes through both sheet metal
holes and fasten in place using the 25mm(1") diameter nuts.
The pipe should be located so that it will be flush with the
back of the refractory. See figure 25.
5. The gas pipe must be iron or steel pipe, and the gap
around the pipe must be sealed with stove cement where it
passes through the refractory panel.
CAUTION: WHEN A DECORATIVE GAS
APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED IN A FIREPLACE
THAT HAS A MANUAL DAMPER, LOCAL
BUILDING CODES MAY REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE
DAMPER, OR THAT A PERMANENT STOP
BE PROVIDED ON THE DAMPER TO PREVENT
COMPLETE CLOSURE OF THE FLUE OUTLET.
CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODE
OFFICIAL TO DETERMINE WHAT IS REQUIRED
IN YOUR AREA.
