Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, hori- zontal terminations installed less than seven
(7)feet above the finished grade must comply with the following additional requirements:
•A hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up must be installed on the floor level where the gas fireplace is installed. The carbon monoxide detector must comply with NFPA 720, be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and be ISA certified.
•A metal or plastic identification plate must be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum height of eight (8) feet above grade and be directly in line with the horizontal termination. The sign must read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.
New York City, NY:
These fireplaces are approved for installation in New York City in the US state of New York.
The vent system may not service multiple appliances, and must never be connected to a flue serving a solid fuel burning appliance. The vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclos- ing wall (such as a chase). There is no require- ment for inspection openings in the enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.
Preparing the Appliance Vent Collar on MPD-3530/4035/4540 Series (Combined Top and Rear Vent) Models
Each of the unit's two vent collars are sealed with a cover plate and a seal plate and gasket. The cover, and seal plate and gasket must be removed from the vent collar being used. Refer to Figure 12 for top vent usage and Figure 13 for rear, and the following steps to prepare the appropriate collar for use.
From the vent collar being used, remove the four screws securing the vent seal plate and gasket. Remove and discard the seal plate and gasket.
When the top vent collar is being used, from inside the firebox, loosen the two screws in the keyhole slots of the cover plate and remove the remaining two cover plate securing screws. Remove and discard the cover plate. Reinstall and securely tighten all four screws.
When the rear vent collar is being used, from inside the firebox, remove the two screws securing the lintel to the rear wall of the fire- box, then remove the lintel. Remove the four cover plate securing screws. Remove and discard the cover plate.
Reinstall and securely tighten all four cover plate screws. Re-secure the lintel to the rear wall of the firebox.
