3.Attach wire channel on the left side of the casing back with (4) 10 x 1/2" provided screws.

4.Attach the black and green (wires) female push-ons to the TH/TP and TH (two outside male tabs) terminals on gas valve.

5.Identify vent safety switch wire harness. The first wire is installed into magnet section on gas valve. The second wire is attached to the TH/TP terminal on gas valve. Route opposite end of vent safety switch wire harness within (2) metal clips on exterior of rear cover. Attach (2) 1/4" female push-ons on vent safety switch wire harness onto (2) 1/4" male tabs on vent safety switch which is located on the side of draft diverter.

Venting

1.Flue pipe must be as large as the flue collar on the draft diverter.

2.Maintain an upward slope of at least 1/4 inch (6mm) per foot of horizontal run.

3.Run flue pipe as directly as possible with a minimum of elbows.

4.Flue pipe should extend through the wall of a chimney to be flush with inner wall.

5.Flue pipe must be adequately supported by metal straps.

6.Single wall vent pipe may be attached directly to the draft hood of the fireplace heater when a clearance of 2 1/2 inches (64mm) is maintained between the single wall vent pipe and the combustible wall of the room in which the fireplace heater is located. Use double wall vent pipe for clearances less than 2 1/2 inches (64mm) to combustibles.

7.For flue pipe running through walls and roof, use B-1 [1 inch (25mm) clearance to combustibles] vent pipe.

8.Chimneys should extend at least 2 feet (.6m) above the roof and above any object or nearby building within 10 feet (3m).

9.Open tees should not be used in the flue pipe.

10.Appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue that is servicing a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

For proper venting, do not attach a 90° elbow directly to draft diverter. If possible, attach 2 feet (.6m) of straight vent pipe before an elbow is used. Use of 45° elbows is recommended.

Uninsulated single-wall metal pipe shall not be used outdoors in cold climates for venting gas utilization equipment.

Ventilation and Combustion Air

Fireplace heaters shall be installed in a location in which the facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas and proper venting under normal conditions. In buildings of conventional frame, brick or stone construction without tight storm windows and doors, infiltration is normally adequate to provide for combustion and draft hood dilution.

Where appliances are installed in a confined space within a building, the building being of unusually tight construction, air for combustion and ventilation must be obtained directly from outdoors or from such spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors. Under these conditions, the confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom; each opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch (6.5cm2) per 1,000 BTU's (.3KW) of total input. The draft hood must be in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the appliance and shall be so located so that the relief opening is accessible for checking vent operation.
