IMPORTANT: Vent-free replaces add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is benecial,
installing replace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 6.
Note: Your replace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing ma-
terial can be placed directly against any exterior
surface on the rear, sides, or top of your replace,
except where standoff spacers are integrally at-
tached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
replace, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
Note: When installing replace directly on
carpeting, tile or other combustible material,
other than wood ooring, the replace shall be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the replace.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Fireplace Installation, page 10).

Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP)
for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct,
do not install replace. Call dealer where you
bought replace for proper type replace.

INSTALLATION ITEMS
Before installing replace, make sure you
have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer, for
propane/LP units only)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection*
• ground joint union
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design-certied equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
Note: If desired, purchase a four-sided trim
kit for built-in installations. See Accessories,
