ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF  
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM  
FIRESTOP SPACERS (V3600FS-8DM)  
Firestop spacers are required at each point  
where chimney penetrates a floor space.  
Their purpose is to establish and maintain  
required clearance between chimney and  
combustible materials. When pipe passes  
through a framed opening into a living space  
above, firestop must be placed onto ceiling  
from below as shown in Figure 14.  
Each double wall chimney section consists of  
a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel in-  
ner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections  
must be assembled independently as chimney  
is installed. When connecting chimney directly  
to fireplace, inner flue pipe section must be  
installed first with lanced side up. Outer pipe  
section can then be installed over flue pipe  
section with hemmed end up. Press down  
on each pipe section until lances securely  
engage hem on fireplace starter. The wire  
will assure proper spacing between inner and  
outer pipe sections.  
If area above is a living space, install  
firestop below framed hole.  
Opening in collar around  
chimney at top of fireplace must  
not be obstructed. Never use  
blown insulation to fill chimney  
enclosure.  
Figure 14 - Firestop Spacer with Living  
Space Above Ceiling  
Continue to assemble chimney sections as  
outlined, making sure that both inner and outer  
pipe sections are locked together. When install-  
ing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it  
is important to assure joint between chimney  
sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney  
upward after locking. Chimney will not come  
apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to  
add screws to keep chimney together.  
They also provide complete separation from  
one floor space to another or attic space as  
required by most codes. When double wall  
pipe passes through a framed opening into  
an attic space, firestop must be placed into  
an attic floor as shown in Figure 15.  
If area above is an attic or insulated area,  
install firestop above framed hole.

PENETRATING ROOF  
FLASHING INSTALLATION (V6F-8DM  
OR V12F-8DM)  
To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof  
with a pitch, a rectangular opening must  
be cut.  
Determine flashing to be used with roof open-  
ing chart. Slide flashing over pipe until base is  
flat against roof. Replace as many shingles as  
needed to cover exposed area and flashing  
base. Secure in position by nailing through  
shingles (see Figure 17). DO NOT NAIL  
THROUGH FLASHING CONE.  
1. Determine center point where pipe will  
penetrate roof.  
2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is  
the distance the roof drops over a given  
span, usually 12".A6/12 pitch means that  
the roof drops 6" for each 12" measure  
horizontally down from roof rafters.

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof  
When installing flashing on a metal roof, it  
is required that putty tape be used between  
flashing and roof. Flashing must be secured  
to roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed  
with roof coating to prevent leakage through  
screw holes. A roof coating must also be ap-  
plied around perimeter of flashing to provide  
a proper seal.

VENTING INSTALLATION USING 8"  
B-TYPE VENTING SYSTEM  
Fireplace system must be terminated with  
listed round top or chase terminations. In any  
case, refer to installation instructions supplied  
with termination. Terminations approved for  
this fireplace are RT-8DM and RTL-8DM that  
can be used for flashing or chase and ET-  
8DM, ETO-8DM, ETL-8DM and ETLO-8DM  
for chase style termination only. Figure 19  
shows an RTL-8DM round top termination.  
Transition pipe model BTC-8 and starter collar  
are shown in Figure 20. Remove starter collar  
and set aside. Slide transition pipe over vent  
collar and attach with a minimum of 4 screws.  
Replace starter collar over transition pipe and  
attach using 4 screws located on leg stands.  
To install b-vent piping, slide first piece of  
b-vent over transition pipe and attach with  
either a minimum of 3 screws or other means  
approved by the vent manufacturer.  
CAUTION: Do not seal open-  
ingsontherooftopashing.Fol-

Note: In rare instance there is a problem with  
side driven rain or wind or chimney is not draft-  
ing properly, an ADS-8DM (Anti-Draft Shield)  
can be used with round terminations.  
CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING  
After completing and checking electrical, gas  
and vent connections, follow the lighting in-  
structions and allow the main burner to run for  
approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted match  
near the top edge of fireplace opening and play  
it along entire length of opening (see Figure 21,  
page 17). Proper venting should tend to draw  
theameorsmokeintotheappliance. Improper  
venting or escaping of spillage of burned gas, is  
indicated when the match flickers or goes out.

Mixture should be a little higher than the  
brick surface.  
GROUTING INSTRUCTIONS  
Material provided:  
7. Using a trowel, remove excess grout mix-  
ture by moving trowel in the direction of the  
joint. Grout mixture in the joint should now  
be flush with brick surface. If not enough  
grout is applied into each space, grout may  
fall out after burning.  
1 or 2 - 10 lb. bags of cement (depending  
on model)  
1 or 2 - 10 lb. bags of sand (depending  
on model)  
Material required:  
1 - Piping bag  
8. Using a joint striker, force grout mixture  
into joint and sweep back and forth  
until grout is smooth and round. If grout  
becomes too shallow, add more grout  
mixture with piping bag and strike again.  
1 - Joints striker  
1 - Heavy duty mixing bucket  
1 - Trowel  
1. Moisten brick surface with damp sponge  
or spray bottle just prior to application.  
When bricks are wet, any excess grout  
mixture on bricks will easily wipe off.  
9. Continue procedure around each group of  
6 bricks until an entire panel is finished.  
10. Using trowel, scrape in direction of joints  
to remove any grout that may have col-  
lected around bricks during striking. If  
desired, take a moist sponge and lightly  
sweep over bricks to remove any grout  
that may have gotten on bricks. DO NO  
PRESS HARD OR RUB IN A CIRCULAR  
MOTION. This will press the grout into  
brick and turn brick a different color.  
2. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, pour seven  
(4-1/2) cups of water. Add 5 lbs. (half of a  
bag) of sand and 5 lbs (half of a bag) of  
cement. Mix together well using a power  
drill with mixing wand attachment to a yo-  
gurt like consistency, not adding enough  
water can lead to grout falling out after  
burning.  
3. The overall length of piping bag should be  
about 16". If the bag is longer than 16",  
cut it down to size by removing end with  
larger opening. This will make the bag  
easier to handle.  
Allow 72 hours before  
operating fireplace.  
4. Put 2 to 3 cups of grout mixture into piping  
bag making sure the smaller opening is  
downward and over a moist towel to avoid  
spilling. Place a wet towel over the bucket  
making sure it is directly on the surface of  
grout mixture. This will keep the mixture  
moist and it will not dry out before use.  
5. Begin grouting by first doing a “Filler  
Pass”. This is done by filling the joint about  
3/4 full with grout mixture. It is important  
to work with only 6 bricks at a time so  
grout doesn't have time to set up before  
striking.  
Figure 29 - Grouting Brick  
6. Complete a “Finishing Pass” around 6  
bricks you just put filler pass around. This  
is done by slowly filling in remainder of the  
joint with a thick amount of grout mixture.

CLEANING GLASS  
Clean glass with any commercial glass  
cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any  
abrasive material to clean glass. Do not clean  
glass with any cool water if glass is still hot  
from the fire and smoke.  
GLASS DOORS  
A gas line or gas log lighter may be installed  
for the purpose of installing a vented or vent-  
free decorative gas appliance incorporating an  
automatic shutoff device and complying with  
the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances  
for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI  
Z21.60 or American Gas Association draft  
requirements for Gas Fired Log Lighters for  
Wood Burning Fireplaces, Draft NO. 4 dated  
August, 1993.  
Glass doors are optional with the fireplace.  
When fireplace is in operation, doors must be  
fully opened or fully closed position only or a  
fire hazard may be created (see Figure 41).  
A fireplace equipped with glass doors oper-  
ates much differently than a fireplace with an  
open front. A fireplace with glass doors has a  
limited amount of air for combustion.  
Excessive heat within fireplace can result if  
too large a fire is built or if combustion air  
gate is not completely open. The following tips  
should be followed to assure that both fire-  
place and glass doors retain their beauty and  
function properly. Both flue damper and glass  
doors must be fully opened before starting fire.  
This will provide sufficient combustion air and  
maintain safe temperatures in firebox.
