Installing Line for Gas Logs

CFM Corporation fireplaces are designed to accept a 1/2 inch gas line for installation of an approved gas appli- ance. (CFM Corporation manufactures a wide variety of gas logs for use in CFM Corporation fireplaces.)

Be sure to have the appliance installed in accordance with building codes.

Gas connection may enter from either left or right side of the fireplace.

Locate appropriate gas line in the outer casing of fire- place and remove insulation from gas line tube. (Fig. 35)

From inside the fireplace, locate the knockout on the fire- brick -- be sure you are on the appropriate or "gas line" side of the fireplace. Using a flat bladed screwdriver or small chisel and hammer, carefully tap around the knock- out until it loosens and falls out.

Install 1/2 inch certified gas pipe through opening. After gas pipe installation is complete, use insulation that was

SHR Series Woodburning Fireplaces

removed from gas line tube to repack space around the pipe. Material should be inserted from outside of the fireplace and packed tightly to totally seal between the pipe and tube.

Note: Gas pipe should not come in contact with any wood structures until it has reached a point at least one (1) inch away from fireplace side.

NOTE: When installing an ANSI Z21.11.2 ventless appli- ance, the finishing material used for the mantel must be rated at 250°F or greater.

BTU input of a gas appliance installed in fireplace should be rated less than 100,000 BTU/Hr.

Gas pipe installation is intended for connection to a deco- rative gas appliance only when (1.) incorporating an auto- matic shutoff device and (2.) complying with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces (ANSI Z21.60) or CSA draft requirements

for Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburning Fireplaces (Draft No. 4, August 1993).

Decorative gas appliance should be installed in accor- dance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 (latest edition).

CAUTION: WHEN USING DECORATIVE GAS APPLIANCE, FLUE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN FULLY OPEN POSITION. IF YOU HAVE GLASS DOORS ON THE FIREPLACE, THEY MUST ALSO BE FULLY OPENED.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET IN THIS FIRE- PLACE WITH THE CHIMNEY REMOVED.

WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET, THE CFM CORPORATION MODEL AH3244BK OR AH3244PB 4" ADJUSTABLE HOOD MUST BE USED.

SHR36, SHR42A, SHR48, SHR52 specifications

Vermont Casting gas fireplaces, including the SHR42A, SHR36, SHR48, and SHR52 models, stand out for their construction quality and innovative technologies. These models are designed to provide not only warmth but also aesthetic appeal, making them an attractive addition to any home.

The SHR series features a variety of sizes to accommodate different spaces, with the SHR36 being the smallest at 36 inches, while the SHR52 is the largest with a 52-inch dimension. These options allow homeowners to choose a model that best fits their room size and heating needs. Each unit prides itself on powerful heating capabilities, efficiently distributing warmth through advanced heat exchanger systems.

One of the standout features of these fireplaces is their use of high-quality cast iron construction. This material not only adds durability but also enhances the fireplace’s ability to retain and radiate heat. As a result, users experience effective and consistent heating, ensuring comfort during colder months.

The Vermont Casting SHR models incorporate state-of-the-art gas burning technology, including dual-flame ports and easy-adjust controls. This technology allows for precise flame adjustment, enabling users to set the ambiance they desire. Additionally, the fireplace's realistic flame presentation creates a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of traditional wood-burning fires.

Another significant characteristic of the SHR series is the option for customization. Homeowners can choose from various decorative front options, styles, and finishes, allowing for a tailored look that blends seamlessly with their existing décor. The cast iron grates and multiple log options enhance the realistic appearance of the fireplace, making it a striking focal point in any room.

Safety features are integral to the design of these fireplaces. With a sealed combustion system, the SHR models ensure that gases are safely vented outside, minimizing the risk of indoor air pollution. The glass doors are tempered, offering extra protection while still allowing for an unobstructed view of the flames.

In terms of efficiency, the SHR series is designed with energy-saving technologies that maximize heat output while minimizing gas consumption. This efficiency not only lowers utility costs but also makes these fireplaces a more environmentally conscious heating option.

In summary, the Vermont Casting SHR42A, SHR36, SHR48, and SHR52 gas fireplaces offer a unique combination of elegance, efficiency, and exceptional heating capabilities. Their durable construction, advanced technology, and customizable features make them a choice that enhances both comfort and style for any home.
