Installation Codes

The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the

fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in

compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.

In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-

B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically

grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with

the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United States), or to the

CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).

These models (natural gas and propane) can be installed in a bedroom (in the

United States) which has a total volume of unconfined space appropriate to the

particular installation. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54

(current edition). The Uniform Mechanical Code - (current edition), and local

Building Officials for the options allowed in obtaining an effective bedroom

volume of unconfined space.

These models (natural gas and propane) can be installed in a bedroom (in

Canada) if a thermostat (Model WH-STAT) is installed with the unit. Consult

local code authorities. Detailed installation instructions for Model WH-STAT are

included with the kit.

High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet

in the U.S.A. and are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 4,500 feet in

Canada.

When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United

States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the

existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent

(4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has

been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper

orifice size, check with the local gas utility.

When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in

Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).

When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check

with local authorities.

Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for

your location.

CAUTION MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, AND

VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL

COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.

Step 2

Framing the

Fireplace

WARNING:

To ensure proper

clearances the front

framing header must be

installed on its narrow

edge and to the front of

the frame.

Negative Pressure warning: When negative

pressure is present, an atmospherically vented

fireplace (with a draft hood) may not function

properly and it may down draft. In the case of a

gas appliance, spillage of the combustion gases

may occur. This may create a dangerous

carbon monoxide situation in the house.

The causes of negative pressure to a house can

include the following:

 Stack effect in the building.

 Exhaust only appliances (mechanically and

atmospherically vented).

 Inadequate make-up air (which is increasingly

more prevalent in new construction).

It is recommended that all natural venting non-air

tight gas fireplaces have outside air connected

to them. It is also recommended that the building

be mechanically or passively balanced to allow

atmospherically vented appliances, such as top

Step 3

Negative

Pressure

Make-up Air

Air Damper

Before lighting the burner, open the damper. Close

the damper when the burner is off.

Detailed installation instructions for Model AK-TV

Outside Air kit are found in the kit.

Figure 4. Make-up Air

vented gas fireplaces with draft hoods, to draft

properly. If the home experiences negative pressure

or is likely to experience negative pressure,

connection to an outside air source is mandatory.

Installing Optional Outside Make-up Air:

This unit is equipped to accept outside air. By using

outside make-up air, the amount of room air used for

combustion will be reduced. It is recommended that

an AK-TV air kit be used with this appliance.

WARNING: IN A NEGATIVE PRESSURE

CONDITION (LIKELY TO OCCUR IN

NEW HOMES THAT DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE

MAKE-UP AIR) THE OUTSIDE AIR KIT MUST

BE INSTALLED TO OBTAIN PROPER

PERFORMANCE AND TO HELP PREVENT

SPILLAGE OF COMBUSTION GASES.

A 4-inch side collar/damper (found in AK-TV Kit)

must be installed on the fireplace by attaching the

side collar to the outer wrap of the fireplace at the

right-hand rear corner using sheetmetal screws.

See Figure 4. Attach one end of a 4-inch flexible air

duct (not provided in the AK-TV Kit) to the side collar

and the other end of the duct to the make-up air

termination cap. Use plastic tie straps to secure the

ends of the flex duct to each collar.

Step 4

Installing the

Vent System

A. Vent System Approvals

Model 8000TVC is approved to use 6-inch (152mm)

diameter B-type vent. B-type vent must be used

when the vent system is within combustible

construction.

These models may also use single wall rigid or flexible

gas vent IF and ONLY IF the vent system is installed

within non-combustible construction such as a masonry

chimney. The same diameter noted above for B-type

vent must be used for single-wall vent. See Figure 5.

For B-type vent the clearance to combustibles is

1-inch. Follow vent manufacturers REQUIRED

clearances.

The flame and ember appearance may vary

based on the type of fuel burned and the venting

configuration used.

B. System Components.

Vent System Configuration

RISE TO RUN RATIO = 2:1

MAXIMUM TOTAL HORIZONTAL RUN = 15 FT.

MINIMUM TOTAL VERTICAL RISE = 9 FT.

MAXIMUM NO. Of ELBOWS: 2 - 90oor 4 - 45o

Plan and install the vent system using the parameters

shown above.

WARNING: YOU MUST NOT EXCEED

THESE PARAMETERS.

Connect a B-Type vent component to the flue outlet collar.

Look at the vent pipe through the holes in the 10 5/8

ring to check that the vent pipe is attached.

NOTE: It is always better to first attach a straight

section of

vent to the unit before attaching an elbow.

Avoid using elbows in the vent system if possible.

A 90-degree elbow can be attached directly to the unit.

If it is, it can be followed by a MAXIMUM 15-feet

horizontal run, a second 90-degree elbow ending in a

minimum 30 foot vertical.

A minimum of 9 foot vertical rise ending in a listed

termination cap is required for the unit.

Continue to add vent components, until the vent run is

completed.

WARNING: YOU MUST NOT EXCEED A

TOTAL MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN

OF 15 FEET FOR THE ENTIRE VENT

SYSTEM.
