1 Listing and Code Approvals

A. Appliance Certi¿ cation

This ¿ replace system has been tested and listed in accor-

dance with UL 127 and ULC-S610 standards by Underwrit-

ers Laboratories Inc. for installation and operation in the

United States and Canada.

This ¿ replace has been tested and listed for use with the op-

tional components speci¿ ed in this manual. These optional

components may be purchased separately and installed at

a later date. Installation of an outside air kit will require sig-

ni¿ cant reconstruction and is best if installed at the time of

¿ replace installation.

Heat & Glo is a registered trademark of Hearth & Home

Technologies Inc.

Not intended for use as a primary heat source.

This ¿ replace is tested and approved as a decorative ¿ re-

place. It should not be factored as a primary heat source

in residential heating calculations.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service

or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.

Refer to the owner’s information manual provided with

this ¿ replace. For assistance or additional information

consult a quali¿ ed installer, service agency or your

dealer.

WARNING

Heat & Glo • EM-415/EM-415H • 31317 Rev V • 11/07 5

2 Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent ¿ replaces

successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of ¿ replace and chimney

B. Negative Pressure

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-

able for the ¿ replace to operate properly. Causes for this

imbalance include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).

• Range hoods.

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters

and other combustion appliances.

• Clothes dryers.

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air

conditioning.

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.

• Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch

opening, duct leaks.

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the follow-

ing must be considered:

• Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the side of

the house towards prevailing winds during the heating

season.

• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion

appliances and exhaust equipment.

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not

located in the immediate vicinity of the ¿ replace.

• Avoid installing the ¿ replace near doors, walkways or small

isolated spaces.

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design; attic

hatches weather stripped or sealed; attic mounted duct

work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.

• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack

effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower

levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the

use of direct vent ¿ replaces in basements.

Asphyxiation Risk

Negative pressure can cause spillage of

combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft

properly for safe operation.

WARNING

Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,

state and national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,

¿ re of¿ cials or authorities having jurisdiction about

restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

CAUTION

When planning a ¿ replace installation, it is necessary to de-

termine the following information before installing:

• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections

3 and 4.

• The vent system con¿ guration to be used. See Sections

5 and 6.

• Gas supply piping. See Section 7.

• Electrical wiring. See Section 7.

• Framing and ¿ nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.

• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall

switch or remote control —are desired. See Section 12.

Heat & Glo • EM-415/EM-415H • 31317 Rev V • 11/07

Location of the ¿ replace and chimney will affect performance.

As shown in Figure 2.1 the chimney should:

• Be installed through the warm airspace enclosed by the

building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,

especially during lighting and die-down of the ¿ re.

• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the

effects of wind turbulence.

• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven

roof lines and other obstructions.

Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized.

Consider the ¿ replace location relative to À oor and ceiling

and attic joists.

E. Construct the Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the ¿ re-

place and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on

the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build-

ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require-

ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST

be checked.

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. All outer walls need to be insulated.

Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling ¿ restops at

each À oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space

to control spread of ¿ re.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever À oor at the ¿ rst level

of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 3.5. Vapor and

air in¿ ltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per

regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth

& Home Technologies recommends that the inside surfac-

es be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equivalent

method) for maximum air tightness.

F. Chimney Requirements

When planning your ¿ replace location, the chimney con-

struction and necessary clearances must be considered.

The ¿ replace system and chimney components have been

tested to provide À exibility in construction. Vertical distances

are measured from the base of the ¿ replace as shown in

Figure 5.2.

All outside walls should be insulated.

Figure 3.6 Chase Constructions

1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.

2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in

chase.

3. Chase constructed on roof.

Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with

high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced ¿ berglass in-

sulation. If the ¿ replace is being installed on a cement slab,

we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or

other raised platform be placed underneath to prevent con-

ducting cold up into the room.

Three examples of chase applications are shown in Fig-

ure 3.6.

• Minimum overall straight height 16.5 ft (5.03 m)

• Minimum height with offset/return 16.5 ft (5.03 m)

• Maximum height 90 ft (27.43 m)

• Maximum chimney length between an offset

and return 20 ft (6.10 m)

• Maximum distance between chimney

stabilizers 35 ft (10.67 m)

• Double offset/return minimum height 20 ft (6.1 m)

• Maximum unsupported chimney length

between the offset and return 6 ft (1.83 m)

• Maximum unsupported chimney height above

the ¿ replace 35 ft (10.67 m)

• Maximum unsupported chimney above roof 6 ft (1.83 m)

Note: A maximum of two pairs of offsets and returns may

be used.

Figure 4.1 Outside Air Installation

A. Install the Outside Air Kit

This ¿ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-

tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ¿ replace system.

See Section 2.

Using an outside air kit is highly recommended to minimize

the effects of negative pressure within the structure. We

recommend you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the

performance of the outside air kit. Cold air À ow can be mini-

mized by putting a small dip in the duct creating a cold air

trap. This trap can also help prevent heat build-up and ex-

hausting out the intake due to the stack effect. The outside

low snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some installations

the air duct may need to be run vertically. In such an instal-

lation, a 3 ft (.914 m) height difference must be maintained

from the top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside

combustion air inlet. See Figure 4.2.

B. Secure the Fireplace

• Position the Fireplace

This ¿ replace may be placed on either a combustible or

noncombustible continuous À at surface. Follow the in-

structions for framing in Section 3.D. Slide the ¿ replace

into position. Be sure to provide the minimum air clear-

ance at the sides and back of the ¿ replace assembly.

See Section 3.B.

Included with your ¿ replace you will ¿ nd two metal

hearth strips measuring approximately 26 in. x 4 in.

(660 mm x 102 mm). These strips are used to provide

added protection where the ¿ replace and the hearth ex-

tension meet.

Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front

edge of the ¿ replace. The individual pieces must over-

lap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle

of the ¿ replace to provide continuous coverage of the

À oor. See Figure 4.5. These metal strips should extend

from the front and sides of the ¿ replace opening by 2 in.

(51 mm).

Note: When elevating the ¿ replace above the hearth exten-

sion the front of the elevated platform must be protected with

a protective metal hearth strip as shown in Figure 4.6.

Level the ¿ replace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim

with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as

necessary. Secure the ¿ replace (using the nailing À ang-

es located on either side of the ¿ replace) to the vertical

framing.

Important: To ensure proper ¿ t of the glass doors, check

the ¿ replace opening for square. Measure diagonal dis-

tances of the opening to make sure they are equal. If they

are not, continue to shim the ¿ replace until those diagonals

are equal.

A. Chimney Requirements

Vertical distances are measured from the base of the ¿ re-

place as shown in Figure 5.2.

To determine the chimney components needed to complete

your particular installation, follow the steps below:

• Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace

installation. This dimension is measured from the base of

the ¿ replace assembly to the point where the smoke exits

the termination cap.

• Subtract the effective height of the ¿ replace assembly from

the overall height of the ¿ replace installation (measured

from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the

termination cap).

• Refer to Table 5.1 to determine what components must

be selected to complete the ¿ replace installation.

• Determine the number of ceiling ¿ restops, stabilizers,

roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace

installation.

B. Using Offsets/Returns

To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be

offset using an offset/return.

An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney

section(s) may be used between an offset and return.

Perform the following steps to determine the correct chim-

ney component combination for your particular installation:

• Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable

it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 5.3. Use

dimension “A” to determine chimney section required to

achieve the needed shift.

• After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 5.2

and ¿ nd the “A” dimension closest to but not less than the

distance of shift needed for your installation.

• The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension

represents the required vertical clearance that is needed

to complete the offset and return.

• Read across the chart and ¿ nd the number of chimney

sections required and the model number of those particular

chimney parts.

• Whenever the chimney penetrates a À oor/ceiling, a ceiling

¿ restop must be installed.

• The effective height of the ¿ replace assembly is measured

from the base of the ¿ replace to the top of the starter collar.

See Dimensions in Section 12.

Table 5.2

• Draft will be restricted if offset/returns

greater than 30° are used.

Proper assembly of air-cooled chimney parts result in an overlap at chimney joints of 1-1/4 in. (32 mm). Effective

length is built into this chart.

1-1/4 in. (32 mm)

OVERLAP

Figure 5.3 Chimney Offset/

Return

Example: Your “A” dimen-

sion from Figure 5.3 is

14 1/2 in. (368 mm). Using

Table 5.2 the dimension

closest to, but not less

than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm)

is 14 1/2 in. (368 mm)

using a 30° offset/return.

It is then determined from

the table that you would

need 34 1/8 in. (867 mm)

(Dimension “B”) between

the offset and return. The

chimney component that

best ¿ ts your application is

one SL324.

Heat & Glo • EM-415/EM-415H • 31317 Rev V • 11/07 19

C. Assemble the Chimney Sections

Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the

top of the ¿ replace (depending on your installation require-

ment). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing

downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the

lower section.

The inner À ue is placed to the inside of the À ue section below

it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the

chimney section below it. See Figure 5.4.

D. Install the Ceiling Firestops

• Mark and cut an opening in the ceiling for the ceiling

¿ restop being used. See Figure 5.5.

• Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in the

ceiling joists.

• Install the ceiling ¿ restop.

Note: The ceiling ¿ restop MUST be nailed to the bottom

of the ceiling joists EXCEPT when the space above is

uninsulated and the attic insulation shield is not being used

(see Figure 5.5). When the attic insulation shield is used

the ceilng ¿ restop may be above or below the joist of an

insulated ceiling.

Note: You must provide support for the pipe during con-

struction and check to be sure inadvertent loading has not

dislodged the chimney section from the ¿ replace or at any

chimney joint.

Note: Inner À ue and outer liner sections cannot be disas-

sembled once locked together. Plan ahead to ensure the

proper installation height is achieved with the selected

chimney components.

• Ceiling ¿ restops must be used at ceiling/À oor.

• Chase construction requires ceiling ¿ restops at each

À oor or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space.

• Use same dimensional lumber as joists.

Ceiling ¿ restop slows spread of ¿ re and reduces cold air

in¿ ltration.

Fire Risk

• DO NOT pack insulation or other

combustibles: between ceiling ¿ restops;

between chimney and attic insulation

shield.

• ALWAYS maintain speci¿ ed clearances

around chimney and ceiling firestop

systems.

• Install ceiling ¿ restops as speci¿ ed.

Failure to keep insulation or other material

away from chimney pipe may cause ¿ re.

WARNING

An insulation shield must be installed when there is a pos-

sibility of insulation coming into contact with the factory built

chimney system. Installation of a ceiling ¿ restop is required

(see Figures 5.7 and 5.8).

• Roll the shield (around the chimney if already installed)

until you have a 3 in. (76 mm) overlap and the three holes

on each side match up (large holes on top).

• Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a

tube.

• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90°

to maintain chimney clearance. See Figure 5.6.

• Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling ¿ restop below.

• Bend the three short tabs at the top of the shield inward

to 90° to maintain the 2 in. (51 mm) clearance from the

chimney.

• Bend the remaining top tabs to just meet the pipe.

E. Install the Attic Insulation Shield

If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow these

guidelines:

• Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to

hold up against the insulation can be used.

• The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend above

the insulation and prevent blown-in insulation from spilling

into the cavity.

• Maintain speci¿ ed cleaances around chimney.

• Check instructions and local codes for further details.
