ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.
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 conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure
2 shows some common locations. 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 3, Page 9).
• Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations.
Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior
surface on back, sides or top of your fireplace, except where standoff
spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing
material. See framing details, Page 10.
• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the
minimum clearances shown in Figure 8, Page 11.
• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by positioning
your fireplace against an already existing framing member. Figure 2 - Common Fireplace Locations
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with 450º F (232º C) 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 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 sys-
tem. When using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent
termination area.

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 gas fireplace system (fireplace and venting) is a
balanced and sealed gas operating unit. It requires approximately
10-20 minutes of operating time before the flame pattern stabilizes.

VENTING INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Read these instructions completely before
attempting installation.
These models are tested and approved for use with an IHP (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 separate
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 2" clearance
from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a
combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.
• 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.
• For installation of fireplace at elevations of 4000 feet or greater,
pay special attention to venting requirement recommendations.
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.
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 mainte-
nance.
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
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)
• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved
by IHP
• Installation other than as instructed by these instructions
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.
WARNING: Vent pipe air space clearances to com-
bustibles are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal
sections, which require 2" clearances from the top
of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a
combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.
INSTALLATION PLANNING
There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
Horizontal Termination Installation
IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations require only inner por-
tion of wall firestop. Horizontal installations using round termination
require exterior 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 venting
has been installed. Some installations require sliding fireplace in
and out of position to make final venting connections. Figures
15 and 16 on Pages 12 and 13, 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 9, Page 13).
NOTE: Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet.
Use wall straps for this purpose.
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.
4. Carefully determine location where vent pipe assembly will penetrate
outside wall. Center of hole should line up with center line of horizontal
vent pipe. Mark wall for an 11-1/2" x 11-1/2" square hole. Cut and
frame square hole in exterior wall where vent will be terminated. If
wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, such
as masonry block or concrete, an 8-1/2" hole with zero clearance is
acceptable (see Figure 10, Page 13).
WARNING: Do not recess vent termination into any
wall. This will cause a fire hazard.
Astria.us.com126733-01H 13
VENTING INSTALLATION Continued
5. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position horizontal vent cap in
center of the 8-1/2" round hole and attach to exterior wall with
four wood screws provided. 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: Four wood screws provided should be replaced with ap-
propriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete or other types of
sidings (see Figure 11).
Combustible Exterior Wall: For stucco or wood exteriors, a sid-
ing standoff may be installed between vent cap and exterior wall.
Siding standoff is required if exterior wall is made of vinyl siding
material. Siding standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging
siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate
standoff. Bolt vent cap to standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic
around outside edge of standoff. Position standoff/cap assembly
in the center of 11-1/2" square hole and attach to exterior wall with
provided wood screws (see Figure 12, Page 14). 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 13, Page 14).
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 14, Page 14).
Slide wall firestop against interior wall surface and attach with
screws provided. See Figure 14, Page 14, for horizontal termina-
tion details.
Place fireplace into position and shim with noncombustible material
if needed. Nail or screw side flanges to framing to secure unit in
place.
IMPORTANT: Make sure fireplace is level before securing. If fire-
place is not level it will not work properly.

Horizontal Termination Configurations
Figure 15 shows a configuration for venting with horizontal termi-
nation with a chart of critical minimum and maximum dimensions
which MUST be met.
Figure 16, Page 15, shows a configuration for venting with horizontal
termination using two 90° elbows with a chart of critical minimum
and maximum dimensions which MUST be met.
If using a venting configuration of only horizontal venting with no
vertical run, a 1/4'' rise for every 12'' of run toward the termination
is required.
NOTICE: Do not seal termination cap to vent pipe. Cap
must be removable for vent inspection and mainte-
nance.
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.

Vertical Termination Installation
NOTE: Vertical restrictor must be installed in all vertical installations.
1. Determine route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joists,
roof rafters or other framing will obstruct venting system, consider
an offset (see Figure 17) to avoid cutting load bearing members.
NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for
required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not
pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise
of venting system and any maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2. Assemble desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach
from fireplace flue up through firestop. Be sure all pipe and elbow
connections are fully twist-locked (see Figure 9, Page 13).
3. Cut a hole in the roof using locating hole as a center point. (Cover
any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The 11-
1/2" x 11-1/2" hole must be measured on the horizontal; actual
length may be larger depending on pitch of roof. There must be a 1"
clearance from vent pipe to combustible materials. Frame opening
as shown in Figure 10, Page 13.
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through hole.
NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support
vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure
17). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows.
The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of flue gases.
5. Place flashing over pipe section(s) extending through roof. Secure
base of flashing to roof and framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing
material overlaps top edge of flashing as shown in Figure 17. There
must be a 1" clearance from vent pipe to combustible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until height of vent cap meets the
minimum building code requirements described in Figure 17a.
NOTE: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby
trees, adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs and other similar
factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds.
Increasing vent height may solve this problem.
7. Twist-lock vent cap onto last section of vent pipe.

Flat Ceiling Installation
1. Cut an 11-1/2" square hole in ceiling using locating hole as a center
point. Opening should be framed to 11-1/2" x 11-1/2" inside dimen-
sions, as shown in Figure 10 on Page 13 using framing lumber the
same size as ceiling joists. If area above ceiling is an insulated ceiling
or an attic, nail firestop from top side. This prevents loose insulation
from falling into required clearance space. If area above ceiling is a living
space, install firestop below framed hole. Firestop should be installed
with no less than three nails per side (see Figure 15, Page 12).
Astria.us.com 126733-01H16
NOTE: If vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above first floor,
including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may
frame and sheetrock enclosure with standard construction material. Make
sure and meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not
fill any required air spaces with insulation.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the fireplace unit you are installing. If you
have conflicting gas types, do not install fireplace. See retailer where
you purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace according to your
gas type.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified service person must con-
nect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect
fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This fire-
place requires an external regulator (not supplied).
Install the external regulator between the fireplace
and propane/LP supply.
WARNING: For natural gas, never connect fireplace
to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly
known as wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local
codes)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable
alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff
valve from your retailer.
For propane/LP connection only, the installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure.
You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of
W.C. pressure. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace
regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent
pointing down as shown in Figure 21. Pointing the vent down protects
it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain
areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diam-
eter or greater to allow proper gas volume to fireplace.
If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and
plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge
hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 22).
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an
accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating
equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged fireplace valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant
to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply
line as shown in Figure 22, Page 17. Locate sediment trap/drip leg
where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between
fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and con-
taminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas controls. If
sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace
may not run properly.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections,
internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing
or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for
a leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks
at once.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect fireplace and its individual equipment shutoff valve
from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa) will damage fireplace gas regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was
connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP
supply tank valve for propane/LP gas fireplace or opening main
gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fireplace
or using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive
leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
Correct all leaks at once.
CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS SUPPLY
Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)
1. Route flexible gas line (provided by installer) from equipment
shutoff valve to fireplace. Route flexible gas supply line through
one of the access holes on side of fireplace.
2. Attach flexible gas line from gas supply to control valve (see Figure
23).
3. Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connec-
tions.
Figure 23 - Connecting Incoming Gas Line to Flex Gas Line
Figure 24 - Equipment Shutoff Valve
5. Reconnect fireplace and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply.
Check reconnected fittings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 24).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP
supply tank valve for propane/LP gas fireplace or opening main
gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas fireplace
or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from propane/LP supply tank or gas meter to
equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 25 or Figure 26, Page 19).
Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles form-
ing show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
