INSTALLATION
FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1)The facing allows for 1/2" (13mm) of dry- wall material. The unit may be installed directly on/or against standard combusti- ble building materials.
2)Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening for the assembled kit is
Diagram 1
5)The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain these clearances from the vent to combustible materials: Flex Termination clearance
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clearance and framing requirements, check the HeatWave manual for details.
TOP ASSEMBLY &
NAILING STRIPS
The Top Facing Support and Side Nailing Strips must be correctly positioned and attached be- fore the unit is slipped into position.
1)The top standoffs are shipped installed.
2)The Top Facing Support and the 2 Side Nailing Strips can be installed at different depths depending on the width of your facing. Match the depths of the top facing support and the side nailing strips.
a)Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 supplied screws into the 3

b)Mount the Side Nailing Strip using the 3 supplied screws into the 3 screw holes or slots (diagram 4) on the side of the unit and repeat for the other side. Use the hole for a 1/2" (13mm) thick facing material and the slot for a range of thickness from 1" to
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The P42 uses the "balanced flue" technology Co Axial system. The inner liner vents 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 con- nected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent sys- tems are prohibited.
Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum height for flex termination and Simpson
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 louvers must not be closer than 36" (914mm) to the ceiling.

VENT RESTRICTOR
A vent restrictor may be required. Check the diagrams on pages 13 to 18 to determine if the #6 restrictor is needed for your vent configu- ration. If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restric- tor using 4 screws per piece to the inside top of the firebox.
