BEFORE YOU START
Television Considerations
Installing a television above a replace has become increasingly
popular; however, the area above any replace gets hot and most
TV manufacturers recommend against placing their products near
a heat source.
If you install a television above this replace, Empire Comfort
Systems accepts no responsibility for damage or injuries. Follow
the television manufacturer’s installation instructions, including any
recommendations regarding proximity to heat sources.
If you have a TV above your replace, turn off the replace and let it
cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons on the TV.
Samples, Warnings, and Denitions:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Addresses practices not related to personal injury.
Read all instructions before starting installation and
follow them carefully to ensure safety. Failure to follow
the instructions will void the warranty and may cause
a re hazard.
The warranty will be voided by, and the warranter disclaims
any responsibility for the following actions:
• Installation by anyone other than the dealer or his agent.
• Installation of any damaged replace or component.
• Modication of the replace or direct vent system.
•
Installation other than as instructed by Empire Comfort Systems.
• Improper positioning of logs, glass door, or accessories.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not
manufactured or approved by Empire Comfort Systems.
All correspondence should refer to complete Model Number,
Serial Number and type of gas. Fill out the Homeowner
Reference Section on (Page 7).
Unpacking The Fireplace
1. Remove the outer boards/crate by removing screws.
2. Cut away shrink-wrap material around the unit. Retain
instruction manual and instruction sheets.
3. Remove (2) screws securing unit to pallet.
4. Get help to lift unit off of the pallet using the handles.
5. Remove non-combustible board from the pallet and place in
a safe location. It will be needed for installation.
6. Logs may remain in unit until installation in wall. Instruction
sheet from step #2 shows how to remove barrier screen and
glass door.
40651-3-0520 Page 5
BEFORE YOU START (CONT’D)
Accessories
Most accessories install much more easily before tting the replace
to the opening.
For example, it takes just 10-15 minutes to install the blower through
the back of the unit. Once the replace is framed in, it takes up
to an hour.
TrueFlame Technology
This replace is equipped with TrueFlame Technology for maximum
ames and ember glow with minimum emissions. The system
includes independently controlled front and rear burners set into a
large ember bed plus a ceramic catalyst and externally adjustable
bafe mounted at the top. Once adjusted by the dealer/technician at
installation, the TrueFlame system requires no scheduled service.
Preparation
This fireplace and its components are safe when installed in
accordance with this Manual. Report any parts damaged in shipment
to your dealer. Do not install the replace with damaged, incomplete
or substitute parts.
Installation Considerations
• Gas supply piping – right side entrance
• Electrical supply and connections
• 120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp
• Right side entrance
• Allowable replace mounting surfaces:
• A at, hard, combustible or non-combustible surface
• A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
• The four corners of the replace onto non-combustible material
so that contact is made on all four perimeter edges on the
bottom of the replace – such as on cinder blocks
(where allowed by local codes).
• If the replace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood ooring, it should be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the replace.
• This replace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance
enclosure. Combustible material can come in contact with the
side standoff spacers, and the replace can be secured to
combustible framing with the framing brackets provided with
the replace.
Planning the installation
First determine where the fireplace will be located and what
accessories will be installed.
Your location must allow for:
• Venting – either vertical or horizontal. Choose a vent conguration,
(See Pages 26 - 29) and make sure the required access through
attics and walls is not blocked by other utilities such as water
lines, sewer vents, gas lines, etc. If access is blocked, you will
need to move the utilities or relocate the replace.
• Gas supply piping (right side entrance) – see pipe size and
specs on (Page 13).
• Electrical supply requirements
(120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) (right side entrance)
• Proper framing required for installation of the replace.
See framing dimensions on (See Page 16).
• Finishing the fireplace – drywall thickness, tile or stone
thickness, and the desired decorative accessories can affect
how you frame the opening and how you attach the nailing
anges to set the proper depth. (See Page 17) for nishing
details, before you begin.

Important! Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible
materials is 3 inch (76 mm) on top, and 1 inch (25 mm) on bottom
and sides.
Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less
than 20 inch (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must
extend outward so that the horizontal vent termination is located
ush to, or beyond the outcrop siding.
Information on Various Venting Routes and Components
Important: Locate the replace in such a way that minimizes the
number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance
between the combustion air intake and the ue gas exhaust, certain
limitations as to vent congurations apply and must be strictly
adhered to.
The graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal
side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths
allowable.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from
the ue collar of the replace to the face of the outer wall.
Venting termination shall not be recessed into wall or siding.
ATTENTION: Vinyl Soft, Vinyl Ceiling, Vinyl Overhang
Disclaimer
Clearances are to heat resistant material (i.e. wood, metal). This
does not include vinyl. Empire Comfort Systems Inc. will not be held
responsible for heat damage caused from terminating under vinyl
overhangs, vinyl ceilings or vinyl ventilated/unventilated softs.

GAS SUPPLY
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right side of the
replace. The replace has a Flexline with shut-off valve located
on the right side when facing the replace. See Figures 7.
Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 CAN/
CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.
CAUTION
Never use plastic pipe. Check to conrm whether your local
codes allow copper or galvanized tubing.
NOTICE: Some municipalities have additional local codes.
Consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANSI Z21.24 Fireplace Connectors of Corrugated Metal
Tubing and Fittings.
— ANSI Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Fireplace Connectors of
Other Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires
that a exible replace connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Figure 7
Installing the Main Gas Shut-Off
Each replace should have its own manual gas shut-off.
A manual main gas shut-off should be located in the vicinity of the
replace and can be easily accessed. Where none exists, or where
its size or location is not adequate, contact your local authorized
installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
to the action of liqueed petroleum gases. The gas lines must be
checked for leaks by the installer. Testing for leaks on all exposed
connections should be done with leak test solution or a soap
solution. After testing is complete, all solution should be cleaned off.
On unexposed connections, a pressure test should be made.
WARNING
Never use an exposed ame to check for leaks. Fireplace
must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and
pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test
with replace connected; control valve will sustain damage.
NOTICE: The gas controls are equipped with a captured screw-
type pressure test point. It is not necessary to provide a 1/8-inch
test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or ex connector use only approved ttings.
The replace and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5kPa).
The replace must be isolated from the gas supply piping

ATTENTION: Cold climate installation recommendation: When
installing this unit against an exterior wall, the exterior wall must
be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. The
replace outer wrapper is not considered a thermal barrier and
can allow air inltration. Care should be taken to properly seal
the chase area so air inltration is kept to a minimum and drafts
do not occur through the replace.
Vent Runs
In planning the installation, you must install certain components
before the replace is secured in position. These include the
direct-vent system, gas piping, and the electrical wiring.
The appliance can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:
1. A at, hard combustible or non-combustible surface.

Installing Firestops - Figure 26
Firestops are required for safety whenever the vent system passes
through an interior wall, an exterior wall, or a ceiling. These restops
act as a rebreak heat shield and as a means to insure that minimum
clearances are maintained to the vent system.
Horizontal Firestops
Horizontal runs in the vent system which pass through either interior
or exterior walls, require the use of wall restops on both sides of
the wall through which the vent passes.
Position the restops on both sides of the framed hole, previously
cut. Secure restop with nails or screws. The heat shields of the
restops MUST BE placed towards the top of the hole. Continue
the vent run through the restops.
