GENERAL INFORMATION

This kit consists of factory built parts that require minimal

assembly to form the Zero Clearance enclosure for the U31/

I31 Gas Insert. The enclosure can then be fixed into a framed

combustible construction, and a standard

"B-vent" (Australia/New Zealand: an approved twin skin flue)

installed on the assembly for the required venting (flueing).

The insert can be installed later.

The faceplate will normally overlap on top of the finished

wall.Using Kit# 410-905 you can convert the U31/I31 Gas

Insert models into highly efficient heat producing Zero Clear-

ance Fireplaces.

Check with your local

building code agency

before you begin your

installation to ensure

compliance with local

codes, including the

need for "permits" and

follow-up inspections. If

any problems are en-

countered regarding

codeapprovals,or if you

wish clarification on any

of the instructions con-

tainedhere,contactyour

local dealer.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

The clearances for the Zero Clearance Kit are 0" to combustibles (back, side and floor) but when planning your installation

review the clearances required for the Insert (see below) after it is installed in the Zero Clearance Kit. The Zero Clearance Kit

mustbe installedona flat,solid,continuous surface(e.g. wood, metal,concrete). Thismaybe thefloor,or raisedup on aplatform

to enhance its visual impact.

NOTE: The specified '0' inch floor clearance means that the top surface of the flooring material, i.e. carpeting, tile, etc.,

must not extend above the bottom edge of the 4" Hearth Trim.

INSTALLATION

LOCATING YOUR U31/I31 FIREPLACE

Due to high temperatures the Insert should be located out of traffic and away

from furniture and draperies. Provide a minimum of 48" (1220mm) front

clearance to the unit.

This appliance is Listed for bedroom installations when used with a Listed

Millivolt Thermostat. Some areas may have further requirements, check local

codes before installation.

This unit is not approved for installation into a mobile home.

ASH LIP FOR FLUSH INSTALLATION

a) An ashlip is mandatory on a U31/I31 Flush (flat window) Insert when installed less than 6" (152mm), (including the

4"(102mm) Hearth Trim) to a combustible floor (see Figure 1). For detailed installation see Faceplate and Trim Installation.

Note: If the ashlip is required with the Flush Front installed, the bottom Gold Trim will NOT fit and cannotbe installed.

b) No ashlip is required when U31/I31 Insert is raised by 2"(51mm). See figure 2.

c) No ashlip is required on a U31/I31 Insert with a Bay Window and/or Bay Louvers. See figure 3.

FRAMING

1) The trim kit allows for 1/2" (13 mm) of finish facing material. The kit may be installed directly on and/or against standard

combustible building materials.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the Kit with framing material. The framed opening for the assembled kit is 31.75" (806mm)

high x 37.75" (959mm) wide x 19.5" (495mm) (20" (508mm) including drywall) deep. See diagram below.

3) For exterior walls, vapour barrier and insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of the house, or according

to local installation codes.

4) The appliance may be enclosed above the standoffs on the cabinet but the clearances stated on the "B-vent" chimney

must be maintained.

ASHLIP INSTALLATION

1) Line up the two holes in the ashlip with the bottom 2 holes in the front of the stove.

2) Screw into position with the two screws provided with the ashlip.

NOTE:The bottomgoldtrimdoesnotgoonto

VENTING (FLUEING)

Note: The draft hood must be installed parallel to the

fireplace opening, as shown below. See Instruc-

tions in U31/I31 Installation Manual.

Install stove insert as per U31/I31 Installation Manual.

1) This fireplace must be vented (flued) with a 4" (100mm)

diameter Class “B” vent (Australia/New Zealand: twin

skin flue). The installation of the venting (flueing) system

must conform and be in accordance with the natural gas

installationcodeCAN/CGA-B149(Canada),ANSIZ223.1

(U.S.A.), AG 601 (Australia), and NZS 5261 (New Zea-

land). Minimum chimney height from base of fireplace

must be at least 12 feet (3.6m).

2) MasonryChimneyInstallation:

This application can be connected to a masonry chimney

flue. Makesurethe masonrychimneyis cleanandin good

working order. When an existing masonry chimney is

unlined and local experience indicates that gas conden-

sation may be a problem or if local codes dictate, an

approved liner should be installed. Use “B” Vent (flue) to

bridge the gap between the fireplace and the masonry

chimney. To ensure proper flue sizing and operation it is

recommended that the masonry chimney be lined with an

approved aluminium chimney liner of the same diameter

as the “B” Vent (flue). Make sure connection between “B”

Vent (flue) and masonry is completely sealed. Flue pipe

exposed to cold air should be insulated in a chase. If

condensation occurs, a trap should be installed at bottom

of flue.

Use a maximum of two off-

sets; four 45oelbows, or two

90oelbowsforexample. Slope

horizontal pipe at least 1/4"

(6.4 mm) rise per foot of run.

Horizontal runs should not

exceed the vertical rise. Keep

horizontal runs to a minimum.

See chart below.

NOTE: ColdClimateInstallation

When this appliance is to be in-

stalled against a non-insulated

wall or in a chase, fibreglass insu-

lation should be installed around

the body of the fireplace.

ELECTRICAL

OUTLET BOX

OPTIONAL OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

-NORTH AMERICAN INSTALLATIONS

A 4" (100 mm) dia. aluminum flex pipe or equivalent may be installed from the outside (with a proper exterior cover) to the Zero

Clearance cabinet. There are outside holes provided on three sides of the kit. Use only the one that is most suitable for your

installation. This will provide adequate outside combustion air supply to the heater.

GAS SUPPLY LINE

An authorized service person should install the gas line in accordance with all local building codes. If codes permit, flex gas

line or coiled copper tubing may be used as gas supply line. The suggested way to install the gas supply line is as follows:

run 1/2" (9.5 mm) NPT gas line to the left side of the framed opening. (See U31/I31 installation instructions for additional

information).

5) Connect the fan switch wires by taking the black and red

wires with the male ends (in the grey harness) and

connect them with the wire connectors from the fan speed

control.

6) Connect the ON/OFF switch wires by taking the black and

red wires with the female ends and connect them to the

ON/OFF switch.

7) Install these wires in the clips on the left faceplate to

ensure they dont touch the insert. See diagram 3.

1) Lay the faceplate panels flat, facedown on something soft

so they don't scratch.

2) a) Take the top faceplate and align the holes in it with

the holes in the side panels. Using the screws

provided,attachfrom thetopofthepanel (holesinthe

top panel are slightly larger than the holes in the side

panel to facilitate easier installation). See diagram 1.

b) 4"(102mm)HearthTrim.AttachtheHearthTrimtothe

bottom of the faceplate side panels with the screws

provided. See diagram 1.

Hint: Don't tighten the screws down completely at this

point, do a trial fit to the unit. Make any necessary adjust-

ments and when it fits properly then tighten down the

screws.

8) The power cord should be run behind the faceplate panel

from the U31/I31 to electrical outlet box.
