Getting Started

Introducing the Hearth & Home TechnologiesGas Fireplaces

Hearth & Home Technologies direct vent gas fireplaces aredesigned to operate with all combustion air siphoned fromoutside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled tothe outside.

The information contained in this Installers Guide, unlessnoted otherwise, applies to all models and gas controlsystems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,are shown in this section.

Pre-install PreparationThis gas fireplace and its components are tested and safewhen installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install anyunit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.

The vent system components and trim doors are shippedin separate packages. The gas logs may be packagedseparately and must be field installed.

Read all of the instructions before starting theinstallation. Follow these instructions carefully duringthe installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.Failure to follow these instructions will void theowner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.

When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary todetermine:• Where the unit is to be installed.

• The vent system configuration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Electrical wiring.

• Framing and finishing details.

• Where to install wall switch.

• Whether an optional remote control is desired.

If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or onany combustible material other than wood flooring, thefireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel thatextends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Warranty

The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voidedby, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims anyresponsibility for, the following actions:

• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system com-ponent.

• Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.

• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & HomeTechnologies.

• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.

• Installation and/or use of any component part not manufac-tured and approved by Hearth & Home Technologies, notwithstanding any independent testing laboratory or otherparty approval of such component part or accessory.

ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIREHAZARD.

Clearance RequirementsThe top, back, front and sides of the fireplace are definedby stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicularwall extending past the face of the fireplace is 4 inches(102mm). The back of the fireplace may be recessed 24 1/4(616mm) into combustible construction.

Constructing the Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose thegas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that runon the outside of a building may be, but are not required tobe, installed inside a chase.

CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS ANDCONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MAY VARY WITH THETYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOTSUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCALBUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILD-ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THEREQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.

Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in themanner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold airdrafting problems. The chase should not break the outsidebuilding envelope in any manner.

This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantileverfloor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltra-tion barriers should be installed in the chase as per regionalcodes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth Tech-nologies recommends that the inside surfaces besheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.

To further prevent drafts, the firestops should be caulked toseal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should becaulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being in-stalled on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer ofplywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting coldup into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors forwoodburning units if they are required.

THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THAT ALLCLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINEDAS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.

Step 2. Framing the FireplaceFireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace isset in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-gram below shows framing reference dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS ANDVERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERINGDETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System

A. Vent System ApprovalsThe BRAVO model is approved to use D-series directvent pipe components and terminations (see Figures 4 &6). The AZTEC model is approved to use DVP-series ventpipe components (see Figures 4 & 5). Approved vent sys-tem components are labeled for identification. This pipe istested and listed as an approved component of the fire-place. The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall.There is no requirement for inspection openings at eachjoint within the wall. There is no required pitch for horizontalvent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPO-NENTS MAY BE USED.Detailed installation instructions are included with eachvent termination kit and should be used in conjunction

with this Installers Guide.The flame and ember appearance may vary based on thetype of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

Identifying Vent Components

The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in-clude one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The rela-tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura-tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. Therise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawingsand tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.

NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow.Rise to run ratios in the vent system must be followed if 45°elbows are used.

For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent andinstall the vent sections:

• Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the undersideof the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.

• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpointnail.

• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on thepitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear-ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.

• Mark the roof hole accordingly.

• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.

• Cut and frame the roof hole.

• Use framing lumber the same size as the roof raftersand install the frame securely. Flashing anchored to theframe must withstand heavy winds.

• Continue to install concentric vent sections up throughthe roof hole (for inside vent installations) or up past theroof line until you reach the appropriate distance abovethe roof (for outside terminations).

Figure 27. Gas Supply Line

• At the gas line access hole, use insulation to re-packthe space around the gas pipe.

• Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace andpack the insulation tightly to totally seal between thepipe and the outer casing.

Step 6. The Gas Supply LineNOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordancewith local building codes by a qualified installerapproved and/or licensed as required by the locality.(In the state of Massachusetts installation must beperformed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).

NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gassupply line should be purged of any trapped air.

NOTE: Consult local building codes to properly sizethe gas supply line leading to the 1/2 inch(13 mm) hook-up at the unit.

This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 inch(13 mm) gas supply line.

To install the gas supply line:

• A listed (and State of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 inch(13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a listedflexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch(13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substitutingfor these components, please consult local codes forcompliance.

• Locate the gas line access hole in the outer casing ofthe fireplace.

• The gas line may be run from either side of the fireplaceprovided the hole in the outer wrap does not exceed 2 1/2”in diameter and it does not penetrate the actual firebox.

• The gap between the supply piping and gas access holecan be plugged with non-combustible insulation to pre-vent cold air infiltration.

• Remove the fireplace front, insert the gas supply linethrough the gas line hole, and connect it to the shut-offvalve.

• When attaching the pipe, support the control so that thelines are not bent or torn.

• After the gas line installation is complete, use a soapsolution to carefully check all gas connections for leaks.

OPTION B: Kiva-style arch

The second installation option requires the construction of akiva-style arch. This option recesses the unit into the wall suchthat construction of a hearth is not necessary (see Figure 32).

Figure 32.

Important Installation Facts (Option B):

• Framing depth increases from that shown in Figure 3, page12 (Dimension C). Dimension C will vary depending on thedepth of the desired kiva-style arch (see Figure 30).

• Once depth of desired kiva-style arch is determined (mini-mum of 3 3/32” and maximum 5”), add that to Dimen-sion C from Figure 3. Level, set and secure fireplaceusing nailing tabs provided on fireplace sides. Securewith screws or nails into BACK of framing studs.

• Discard Option A nailing tabs found in installation manualbag assembly.

• Kiva-style arch dimensions: Maximum depth = 5 inches(includes finish wall surface). Minimum depth = 3 3/32inches. NOTE: Above numbers are for combustible con-struction numbers. Arch may protrude up to 5 1/2” maxi-mum as measured from unit front face.

NOTE: The kiva-style arch depth may be any size if us-ing noncombustible materials i.e. concrete, steel, plas-ter, etc.

• A template is provided on unit shipping carton. Simplycut along the line and use as a template when construct-ing kiva-style arch (see Figure 33).

CAUTION: Template for kiva-style arch represents MINIMUMinside dimensions. When constructing kiva-style arch, youmust add thickness of finishing materials to achieve propersize of finished arch.

Constructing kiva-style arch Helpful Hints:

• Add thickness of finishing material plus 1/16” when trac-ing cardboard template to assure door fit after comple-tion of kiva-style arch.

• The kiva-style arch may be constructed from 3/8” to 1/2”plywood and wood blocking.

• Using 1/2” plywood and 2” x 4” blocking material creates a4 1/2” deep kiva-style arch structure allowing 1/2” drywall tocover and provide a 5” depth (maximum allowable).

• Use thinner materials on plywood faces or blocking for asmaller (more shallow) kiva-style arch or if thicker finish-ing materials are desired (see Figure 33).

Figure 33.

• Inside of the kiva-style arch can be finished using com-bustible materials. For example, thin drywall may be lay-ered to form around curved arch.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. Whenfirst lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for thelines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging iscomplete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.

Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require thispurging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gasvalve has been turned to the OFF position, in whichcase the air would have to be purged.

NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on theinitial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Removeand clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplacefor an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the productsused in the paint and logs.
