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 Denitions:

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.

• Modication 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

bafe 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 conguration,

(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.

Vertical Sidewall Installations

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 congurations 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 Soft, 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 softs.

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 conrm 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 liqueed 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

can allow air inltration. Care should be taken to properly seal

the chase area so air inltration 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:

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.
