COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS

Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit

are shown in the diagram below.

INSTALLATION

This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches). Mantel can be

installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale.

Note:

Ensure that both the material and finished surface (paint)

are heat resistant (min. 85oC) or material may distort and

paint may discolor.

MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES

Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:

Maximum

1-1/2" projection at 2"

minimum clearance.

Masport P33R-1 Room Sealed Gas Fireplace

INSTALLATION

Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing

Support before unit is slipped into

position. See page 9 for assembly

details.

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to

the same degree as the rest of the house,

apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per

local installation codes. (Do not insulate

the fireplace itself.)

4) The top of the unit must not be closer than

30" (762mm) to the ceiling.

5) Combustible material may be brought up to

the top and sides of the unit and be covered

with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other

suitable combustible finishing materials.

Note: The unit does not have to be com-

pletely enclosed in a chase. The

clearance on top of the unit is 0" to

the standoffs so combustible

building materials can be laid di-

rectly on top of the standoffs. You

must maintain 1-1/2" (38mm) clear-

ance from the vent to combustible

materials for flex.

1) Determine the total thickness of facing

material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to

allow the finished surface to be flush with

the front of the unit. Total facing thickness

can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)

thick.

6) Use steel studs for framing where the

1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to

combustibe material cannot be maintained.

NOTE

These are framing dimensions only,

NOT finished wall dimensions.

Gas is supplied from the right hand

side and the power from the left

hand side.

Ensure depth of register and outer

wall allow for minimum horizontal

flue length of 203mm.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with

framing material.

"C" Screw Position:

For a facing material depth of

1-1/4"(32mm), the top facing

support must be reversed.

The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips

and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly

positioned and attached to the top before unit

is slipped into position.

Top Standoff Assembly

The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position

and must be pulled up and bent into the correct

shape. Setup each of the 2 Top Standoff by

bending up at the bend lines until the screw hole

in the standoff and the pre-punched screw

holes on the top line up. Use three more screws

per standoff to attach securely to the top.

Top Facing Support &

Side Nailing Strips

Determine the total thickness of facing material

(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the

finished surface to be flush with the front of the

unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"

(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips

can be mounted in 3 different positions depend-

ing on the thickness of the facing material.

Screw Facing Material

Position Depth

A 1/2" / 13mm

B 7/8" / 22mm

C*1-1/4" / 32mm

* For "C" screw position the top facing support

is reversed.

1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3

supplied screws into the three pre-punched

screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use

hole positions A, B, or C depending on your

facing depth.

2) Use the same screw hole position for the

Side Nailing Strips as was used for the Top

Facing Support. Attach each side nailing

strip using 3 screws.

Masport P33R-1 Room Sealed Gas Fireplace 11

INSTALLATION

FLUEING INTRODUCTION

The P33R-1 uses the "balanced flue" technology Co Axial system. The inner liner flues products of combustion to the outside while the outer

liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm

room air up the chimney.

NOTE: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.

The gas appliance and flue system must be flued directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate

solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each Room Sealed gas appliance must use it's own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.

NOTE: Ensure compliance with the outside flue terminal location before cutting hole as both dimensions must be met.

MASPORT DIRECT VENT SYSTEM (FLEX)

HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS

This flueing system, in combination with the P33R-1 Room Sealed Gas Fireplace, has been tested and listed as a Room Sealed heater system by

Warnock Hersey. The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Flue Terminal Locations diagram on page 10.

Masport Direct Vent (Flex) System Termination Kit (Part # 946-513) includes all the parts needed to install the P33R-1 with a

maximum run of 2 feet. If installing the P33 with a continuous flue length of more than 2 ft (.6m) to a maximum of 10 ft. (3.0m) use

Kit # 946-125 (4ft.) or Kit # 946-516 (10 ft).

1) 6-7/8" dia. flexible liner (2 ft. length)

2) 4" dia. flexible liner (2 ft. length)

3) spring spacers (3)

4) thimble (2)

5) AstroCap termination cap (1)

6) screws (12)

7) tube of Mill Pac (1)

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

for Masport Direct Vent System (Flex)

Minimum and Maximum Flue Clearances

INSTALLATION

1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the

gas (preferably on the right side of the unit)

and the electrical (Junction block is on the

left side) on the left. Locate the centerline

of the termination and mark wall according-

ly. Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside

dimension).

Note: To make the installation more aes-

thetically pleasing, we recom-

mend framing out a square to

mount the terminal to.

*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the flue and the

outside corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap. See "F" on the

diagram on page 10.

Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around

the liner must be maintained ex-

cept that only a 1" (25mm) clear-

ance is needed at the termination

end. We recommend framing a

10"(254mm) x 10"(254mm) (inside

dimensions) hole to give structur-

al rigidity for mounting the termi-

nation.

Note: If installing termination on a siding

covered wall, furring strips must

be used to ensure that the termi-

nation is not recessed into the

siding.

2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the

framing using nails or screws through the

nailing strips.

3) Assemble the flue assembly by applying Mill

Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the

termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner

over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with

the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make

this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temper-

ature silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) flex

pipe and slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar

of the flue terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm)

and fasten with the 3 screws.

4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble

and securely fasten the one with the tabs

to the outside wall making sure that the tabs

are on top and bottom. Fasten the other

thimble half to the inside wall. The thimble

halves slip inside each other and can be

adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners

must slip over the collars a minimum

of 1-3/8".

5) Slip the assembled liner and termination

assembly through the thimble making sure

the termination cap faces up (there are

markings on the cap that show which way

is up). This will position the termination cap

with proper down slope for draining water.

Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4

supplied screws.

6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer 6-

7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over the

flue collars of the fireplace.

7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar

and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it

and attach with 3 supplied screws.

8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.

9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thim-

ble and termination and around the outer

edge of the terminal at the wall in order to

keep the water out.

WARNING:

When installing in a high wind situ-

ation, common sense must prevail.

Choose a sheltered side of the house.

A non combustible water ingress

shelf will need to be fitting 200mm

above the terminal to prevent water

ingress in extreme conditions or

where no sofit shelters the terminal.

Diagram 3

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS

Diagram 1

Note:

a) The horizontal run of flue must be

level, or have a 1/4 inch rise for

every 1 foot of run towards the

termination. Never allow the flue

to run downward. This could

cause high temperatures and

may present the possibility of a

fire.

b) The location of the horizontal flue ter-

mination on an exterior wall must meet

all local and national building codes,

and must not be blocked or obstructed.

For External Flue Terminal Locations,

see diagram on page 10.

c) Riser Flue Terminations:

For installations requiring a vertical rise

on the exterior of the building, 50cm tall

Riser Flue as shown in Diagram 2 is

available. Follow the same installation

procedures as used for standard Hor-

izontal Termination.

NEVER install the snorkel upside down.

Below Grade Riser Installation

If the Riser Termination must be in-

stalled below grade, i.e. basement ap-

plication, proper drainage must be pro-

vided to prevent water from entering

the Riser Termination. Do not attempt to

enclose the Riser within the wall, or any

other type of enclosure.

5) The arrow on the flue cap should be

pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clear-

ances to combustible materials are main-

tained (Diagram 3). Install the termination

cap.

Diagram 2

Install the flue system according to the manu-

facturer's instructions included with the com-

ponents.

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to

determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in

the way when the flueing system is at-

tached. If this is the case, you may want to

adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the

gas preferably on the right side of the unit

and the electrical (junction block is on the left

side) on the left.

2) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer

section of the adapter and a bead of Mill-Pac

on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the

existing inner and outer flue collar and

fasten to the outer collar only with the 3

supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will

make this easier). Level the fireplace and

fasten it to the framing using nails or screws

through the nailing strips.

3) Assemble the desired combination of pipe

and elbows to the appliance adaptor.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temperature sili-

ry twist-lock joint.

a) Horizontal runs of flue must be sup-

ported every three feet. Wall straps are

available for this purpose.

4) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.

The center of the square hole should line up

with the centerline of the horizontal pipe.

Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in the

exterior wall where the flue will be termi-

nated. If the wall being penetrated is con-

structed of non-combustible material, i.e.

masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)

diameter (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for flex) hole

is acceptable.

pipe into the flue cap assembly. It is impor-

tant that the flue pipe extends into the flue

cap sufficient distance so as to result in a

minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches.

Secure the connection between the flue

pipe and the flue cap 3 sheet metal screws.

8) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"

square and attach with wood screws

(Diagram 4).

The four wood screws provided should be

replaced with appropriate fasteners for

stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of

sidings.

Note: If installing termination on a siding

covered wall, a vinyl siding stand-

off or furring strips must be used

to ensure that the termination is

not recessed into the siding.

6) Before connecting the horizontal run of flue

pipe to the flue termination, slide the Wall

Thimble over the flue pipe.

7) Slide the appliance and flue assembly to-

wards the wall carefully inserting the flue

INSTALLATION

GAS LINE

INSTALLATION

The gas valve is situated on the right hand side

of the unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand

side of the valve.

The gas line connection may be made of rigid

pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex connec-

tor. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the

valve can be removed for servicing.) Since

some municipalities have additional local codes

it is always best to consult with your local

authorities.

Follow the current AG 601 and NZS 5261

standards.

When using copper or flex connectors use only

approved fittings. Always provide a union so

that gas lines can be easily disconnected for

servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex

connectors are usually considered to meet this

requirement.

Diagram 3: The upper half of the flashing is

installed under the roofing material and not

nailed down until the chimney is installed.

This allows for small adjustments.

VERTICAL

TERMINATION

1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces)

to combustibles when passing through ceil-

ings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter,

or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do

not pack air spaces with insulation. Check

pages 13-14 for the maximum vertical rise

of the flueing system and the maximum

horizontal offset limitations.

2) Set the gas appliance in its desired location.

Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to

the position of the appliance flue exit, and

mark the location where the flue will pene-

trate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at his point.

Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the

hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and

mark the spot where the flue will penetrate

the roof.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temperature sili-

cone sealant to outer pipe on every

twist-lock joint.

3) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small

drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The

hole should be of sufficient size to meet the

minimum requirements for clearance to com-

bustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the flashing under

the shingles (shingles should overlap half

the flashing) as per Diagram 3.

4) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic

to avoid obstructions, it is impor-

tant to support the flue pipe every

3 feet, to avoid excessive stress

on the elbows, and possible sep-

aration. Wall straps are available

for this purpose.

Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof-

line due to its higher corrosion resistance.

Continue to add pipe sections through the

flashing until the height of the flue cap meets

the minimum height requirements specified in

Diagram 4 or local codes. Note that for steep

roof pitches, the vertical height must be in-

creased. A poor draft, or down drafting can

result from high wind conditions near big

trees or adjoining roof lines, in these cases,

increasing the flue height may solve the

problem.

5) Ensure flue is vertical and secure the base

of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails,

slide storm collar over the pipe section and

seal with a mastic.

6) Where required always refer to either AG

601 or NZS 5261:2003

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which

the flue passes through must be en-

closed.

Important: Always check for gas leaks

with a soap and water solution or gas leak

detector. Do not use open flame for leak

testing.

PRESSURE TESTING

The manifold pressure is controlled by a reg-

ulator built into the gas control, and should be

checked at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure,

both inlet and manifold pressures

should be checked using the valve

pressure ports on the valve.

1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure

tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/

8" wide flat screwdriver.

3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"

pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"

position.

5) The pressure check should be carried out

with the unit burning and the setting should

be within the limits specified on the safety

label.

6) When finished reading manometer, turn off

the gas valve, disconnect the hose and

tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8"

flat screwdriver. Note: Screw should be

snug, but do not over tighten.

INSTALLATION

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

Periodically check the pilot flames. Cor-

rect flame pattern has three strong blue

flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile,

1 around the thermocouple and 1 flowing

across the burner (it does not have to be

touching the burner).

Note: If you have an incorrect flame

pattern, contact your Masport dealer for

further instructions.

Incorrect flame pattern will have small,

probably yellow flames, not coming into

proper contact with the rear burner or

thermopile or thermocouple.

Note: Output capacity:

The efficiency rating of the appli-

ance is a product thermal efficien-

cy rating determined under con-

tinuous operating conditions and

was determined independently of

any installed system.

Flue height may change your

efficiency ratings.
