These vented gas ﬁreplace heaters are sealed combustion, air-

circulating gas ﬁreplaces designed for residential, manufactured

home, and commercial applications. Direct-vent appliances

operate with the combustion chamber isolated from the indoor

environment. All air for combustion is brought in from the outside,

and exhaust gases are vented through the same direct-vent, coaxial

(intake/exhaust) vent system. These ﬁreplaces must be installed

with IHP 6DVL Direct Vent Pipe components and terminations.

This ﬁreplace must be installed by a qualiﬁed (certiﬁed or licensed)

service person. If the glass door assembly and venting pipe are not

properly seated, connected and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage

(spillage) can occur.

DANGER

Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poison-

ing resemble the ﬂu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have

these signs, the ﬁreplace may not be working properly. Get fresh air

at once! Have ﬁreplace serviced. Some people are more affected by

carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people

with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence of

alcohol and those at high altitudes.

Natural and Propane/LP Gas: Natural gas is odorless, although it has

an odor-making agent added to the gas. Propane/LP gas has a natural

odor. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added

to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your

direct vent ﬁreplace:

• The venting system may be routed to the outside of your home in

several ways. It may vent through the roof (vertical) or it may vent

to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is

very important to allow for proper operation. You must follow the

venting instructions very carefully for either vertical or horizontal

applications.

• This ﬁreplace may be installed in any room of your house provided

all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.

• Each time you turn on your ﬁreplace, you may notice some amount

of condensation on the inside of the ﬁreplace glass. This is normal

and will disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.

• Your direct vent ﬁreplace system (ﬁreplace and venting) is a bal-

anced and sealed combustion system. It requires approximately

10-20 minutes of operating time before the ﬂame pattern stabilizes.

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your ﬁreplace

with noncombustible material and wherever cold air could enter

the room. It is especially important to insulate outside chase cavity

between studs and under ﬂoor on which ﬁreplace rests, if ﬂoor

is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should

be caulked or stuffed with unfaced ﬁberglass insulation. Caulk the

ﬁrestop only where the pipe penetrates an outside wall, attic, or

other unconditioned space.

NOTE: Caulking used must have a minimum of 300°F continuous

exposure rating.

NOTE: Do not use loose, or blown-in insulation in the cavity

surrounding the ﬁreplace.

If the ﬁreplace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a

sheet of plywood or other raised platform can be placed underneath

to prevent conduction of cold transferring to the ﬁreplace and into

the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for

maximum air tightness and caulk ﬁrestops.

licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

• The ﬂexible gas line connector used shall not exceed 36” (914

mm) in length.

• The individual manual shutoff must be a T-handle type valve.

Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, horizontal terminations

installed less than seven (7) ft 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

integrity of the manufactured home ﬂoor, wall, and

ceiling / roof must be maintained.

CAUTION

This appliance must be grounded to the chassis of

the manufactured home in accordance with local

codes or in the absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA 70—latest

edition or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1—

latest edition.

TYPICAL LOCATIONS

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the

ﬁreplace are primary concerns. However, vent system routing to

the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important. The

ﬁreplace may be located on or near conventional construction

materials. See Location and Space requirements Page 11 for

more information.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of

trafﬁc and away from furniture and draperies.

The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other

heating/air conditioning ducting.

Be aware that this is a heat producing ﬁreplace. Objects placed

above the unit are exposed to elevated temperatures. Do not

insulate the space between the ﬁreplace and the area above it.

HIGH ALTITUDE REQUIREMENTS

Oriﬁce Sizes—Sea Level to High Altitude

These ﬁreplaces are tested and approved for installation at

elevations of 0–4500 ft (0–1372 m) above sea level using the

standard burner oriﬁce sizes (see speciﬁcations table, Page 48).

For elevations above 4500 ft, contact your gas supplier or qualiﬁed

service technician.

Deration

At elevations above 4500 ft, the amount of BTU fuel value delivered

must be reduced by either:

• Using gas that has been derated by the gas company.

• Changing the burner oriﬁce to a smaller size as regulated

by the local authorities having jurisdiction and by the (USA)

National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1—latest edition

or, in Canada, the CAN/CGA-B149.1 codes—latest edition.

IN CANADA - CSA 2.17-2017/CGA 2.17 -M91 (R2014) (HIGH

ALTITUDE):

The conversion shall be carried out by a manufacturer’s authorized

representative, in accordance with the requirements of the

manufacturer, provincial or territorial authorities having jurisdiction

and in accordance with the requirements of the CAN/CGA-B149.1

or CAN/CGA-B149.2 Installation codes.

PRE-INSTALLATION

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efﬁcient location for your direct vent ﬁreplace.

Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system.

Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air condi-

tioning ducts, windows or doors. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions

before deciding the exact location for your ﬁreplace and termination cap.

When deciding the location of your ﬁreplace, follow these rules:

• Do not connect this ﬁreplace venting to a chimney ﬂue serving a separate

solid-fuel burning ﬁreplace or appliance.

• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this ﬁreplace in high trafﬁc areas,

windy or drafty areas or near furniture or draperies.

• Proper clearances must be maintained.

• If your ﬁreplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or any

combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or

wood panel extending the full width and depth of the ﬁreplace (see Figure

11, Page 16).

• Standoff spacers attached to your ﬁreplace can be placed directly against

the wall or framing material. See framing details, Pages 12-15.

• When locating the termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum

clearances shown in Table 2, Page 17.

• Do not recess the termination cap into a wall or siding.

• You may paint the termination cap with high temperature heat-resistant

paint to coordinate with the exterior ﬁnish.

• There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences,

decks or utility buildings within 24" from the front of the termination cap

and the front of outside air vent.

• Do not locate the termination cap and outside air vent where excessive

snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area

after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When

using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent termination area.

NOTICE

This ﬁreplace is intended for use as supplemental heat.

Use this ﬁreplace along with your primary heating sys-

tem. Do not install this ﬁreplace as your primary heat

source. If you have a central heating system, you may

run system’s circulating blower while using ﬁreplace.

This will help circulate the heat throughout the house

ONE SIDED / SEE-THRU INSTALLATION

Fireplace Framing

1. Frame the ﬁreplace as illustrated in Figures 4-9, Pages 12-15.

All framing details must allow for a minimum clearances to

combustible framing members as shown in Table 1, Page 11.

2. Mount the ﬁreplace on the ﬂoor or on a fully supported base

extending the full width and depth of the unit. If installed

over combustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, or

combustible material other than wood ﬂooring, the appliance

must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full

width and depth of the ﬁreplace.

3. Headers may be in direct contact with the top of the nailing

ﬂange, maintaining the 11” clearance to the ﬁreplace top, but

must not be supported by them or notched to ﬁt around them

after self supporting (see Figure 4). All construction above the

ﬁreplace must be self-supporting. DO NOT use the ﬁreplace for

structural support.

4. All minimum clearances must be met. Vent pipe needs to

maintain 1" clearance. Wood studs may be notched. Fireboard

is provided for facing around the ﬁreplace.

5. If you are using a separate combustible mantel piece, refer to

Figure 40, Page 34 for proper installation height.

NOTE: Fireplace is designed for 1/2” thickness of non-combustible

ﬁreboard on the face of the unit (Included with one sided application).

If installing a two sided application, the non-combustible ﬁreboard

will be included with the See-Thru kit, see accessories Page 53).

Fireplace Framing Standard Installation (Flush Wall)

IMPORTANT! Before you begin framing, determine whether

you will be installing the ﬁreplace as a one sided application

or See-Thru application. If installing a TV above the

ﬁreplace, a HeatFlo Kit is required (see Accessories, Page

53). Follow instructions included with the Kit and framing

details in this manual.

The ﬁreplace will come factory installed as a one sided appliance.

If you will be using the ﬁreplace for a one sided regular application,

you can install it as is. If you will be upgrading the ﬁreplace to a

See-Thru application a conversion kit is required (see Accessories,

Page 53). Follow instructions included with the Kit.

NOTE: The optional Blower Kit is not compatible with the See-Thru Kit.

If the Blower Kit is installed, it must be removed or disabled when a

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A HEATFLO KIT IS REQUIRED IF INSTALLING A TV ABOVE THE FIREPLACE.

WARNING

Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the fireplace.

Elevated temperatures on the wall or in the air above the fireplace can cause melting, discoloration or damage

to decorations, a television (TV) or other electronic components.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Most television manufacturers instruct the homeowner to not place the television above a heat source. Doing

so may negatively affect the longevity of the television and may negate the warranty. If you do place a

television above the ﬁreplace, please be aware of the large amount of heat generated by the ﬁreplace and

consider placing the television above the ﬁreplace at 12” minimum on a ﬂush wall and at 18" for a recessed

installation, to reduce the amount of heat that reaches the television. The homeowner must understand that

IHP does not take responsibility for any negative impact to televisions placed near this ﬁreplace.

TVs should not be used in situations where the actual TV temperature exceeds the manufacturer’s technical

specification. Contact the TV manufacturer directly if you cannot locate this information or have questions

regarding this information.

NOTE: Clearances to TV are provided only for guidance, please follow TV manufacturer's recommendation for

installation.

INSTALLING TELEVISION (TV) ABOVE FIREPLACE

The following section details two options for installing a television (TV) above Fireplace

See Figures 5-9 for TVs Installed above the ﬁreplace:

WIRING NOTE: If running wiring into the enclosure, use thermal insulating wrap around the wiring. Secure the wiring to protect from

contact with hot surfaces.

NOTE: On a recessed wall pocket installation, discard ﬁreboard nailing ﬂange leaving ﬁreplace top spacers and heatshield (see Figure 8).

VENTING INSTALLATION

These ﬁreplaces are tested and approved for use with IHP 6DVL

Direct Vent Pipe components and terminations.

The venting system must terminate on the outside of the structure

and can not be attached to a chimney or ﬂue system serving a sepa-

rate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. A direct vent appliance must

have its own venting system. DO NOT common vent this appliance.

These models are approved to be vented either horizontally through

an outside wall or vertically through a roof or chase enclosure using

the following guidelines:

• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall,

you may install a standoff if the termination cap is to be installed

directly on a combustible ﬁnish such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.

• Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive tem-

peratures which could cause a ﬁre.

• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides

except on the horizontal sections, which requires 3" clearance

from the top of the pipe including horizontal terminal.

• Have ﬁreplace and selected vent components on hand to help

determine the exact measurements when elbowing or offsetting.

Always use wall ﬁrestops when penetrating walls and ﬁrestops

when penetrating ceilings or attic spaces.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection

• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings

WARNING

Read all instructions completely and thoroughly

before attempting installation. Failure to do so

could result in serious injury, property damage or

loss of life.

WARNING

This gas ﬁreplace and vent assembly must be vented

directly to the outside. The venting system must

NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate

solid fuel burning appliance. Each direct vent gas

appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not

use common vent systems.

NOTICE

Read these instructions completely before

attempting installation.

NOTICE

Failure to follow these instructions will void the

warranty

NOTICE

Do not seal termination cap to vent pipe. Cap must

be removable for vent inspection and maintenance.

The following actions will void the warranty on your venting

system:

• Installation of any damaged venting component

• Unauthorized modiﬁcation of the venting system (Do not cut or alter

vent components)

VENT INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct vent installation:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

Horizontal Termination Installation

IMPORTANT: Horizontal terminations require only inner portion of

wall ﬁrestop.

1. Set ﬁreplace in its desired location and determine the route your

horizontal venting will take. Do not secure ﬁreplace until all vent-

ing has been installed. Some installations require sliding ﬁreplace

in and out of position to make ﬁnal venting connections. Figures

15-16 on Page 20 show different conﬁgurations for venting with

horizontal termination that will help you decide which application

best suits your installation. Check to see if wall studs or roof

rafters are in the path of your desired venting route. If they are,

you may want to adjust location of ﬁreplace.

2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are designed with

special twist-lock connections.

Twist-Lock Procedure: Female ends of pipes have locking lugs

(indentations). These lugs will slide straight into matching slots

on male ends of adjacent pipes. Push pipe sections together and

twist one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until

sections are fully locked (see Figure 12, Page 19).

NOTE: Horizontal vent must be sloped to 1/4” per foot rise from

inlet to termination. Use non-combustible hanger straps (such

as plumbers tape) to support horizontal sections every 4 feet.

Pipe must not sag.

3. Assemble desired combination of pipe and elbows to ﬁreplace ﬂue

collar. If there are long portions of venting run, pre-assembled

pipe sections may be installed as subassemblies for convenience.

WARNING

Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles

are 1" on all sides except on horizontal sections,

which require 3" clearances from the top of the

pipe including the horizontal terminal. Where the

Vertical termination cap penetrates a combustible

space, 1" air space clearance is required.

4. Carefully determine location where vent pipe assembly will pen-

etrate outside wall. Mark center line of pipe on wall. Mark wall

for a 13" x 11" square hole, where bottom of square starts 5-1/2"

below center line of pipe (see Figure 13). This will provide the

3" minimum spacing needed on top of horizontal pipe. Cut and

frame 13" x 11" rectangular hole in exterior wall where vent will

be terminated. If wall being penetrated is constructed of noncom-

bustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 9-1/2"

hole with zero clearance is acceptable (see Figure 13).

5. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position horizontal vent cap in

center of the 9-1/2" round hole and attach to exterior wall with

four fasteners. Before attaching vent cap to exterior wall, run a

bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable sealant) around outside

edges to make a seal between it and outside wall.

NOTE: Use the appropriate type fasteners for stucco, brick,

concrete or other types of sidings (see Figure 14).

Combustible Exterior Wall: A combustible siding standoff is

required when terminating thru combustible siding materials.

For vinyl siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding standoff may

be installed between the vent cap and the exterior wall. Siding

standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging siding materials.

Siding material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Fasten

vent cap to standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside

edge of standoff. Position standoff/cap assembly over the 13" x

11" rectangular hole and attach to exterior wall with appropriate

type fasteners for wall material (see Figure 15A, Page 20). Siding

standoff must sit ﬂush against exterior fascia material.

6. Connecting Vent Cap with Horizontal Vent Pipe: Slide wall

ﬁrestop over vent pipe before connecting horizontal run to vent

cap (see Figure 15B, Page 20).

Carefully move ﬁreplace, with vent assembly attached, toward

wall and insert vent pipe into horizontal termination. Pipe overlap

should be a minimum of 1-1/4" (see Figure 16, Page 20).

Slide wall ﬁrestop against interior wall surface and attach with

screws. See Figure 16, Page 20 for horizontal termination details.

Place ﬁreplace into position and shim with noncombustible ma-

terial if needed. Nail or screw side ﬂanges to framing to secure

unit in place. IMPORTANT: Make sure ﬁreplace is level before

securing. If ﬁreplace is not level it will not work properly.

WARNING

Do not recess vent termination into any wall. This

will cause a ﬁre hazard.

NOTICE

Do not seal termination cap to vent pipe. Cap must

be removable for vent inspection and maintenance.

WARNING

Never run vent downward as this may cause

excessive temperatures which could cause a ﬁre.

Operation of improperly installed and maintained

venting system could result in serious injury,

property damage or loss of life.
