VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The P48 uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
need to use heated room air for combustion and
losing warm room air up the chimney.

Note: These flue pipes must not be con-

nected to any other appliance.

The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own separate vent system. Common vent
systems are prohibited.

UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.

Top Standoff Assembly

The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace

top.

2) Take each standoff and bend into the cor-

rect shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-
punched screw holes on the fireplace top
line up.

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with

2 screws per standoff (on opposite cor-
ners).

Top Facing Support and

Side Nailing Strips

Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush with the front of the
unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"
(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips
can be mounted in 3 different positions depend-
ing on the thickness of the facing material.

* For "C" screw position the top facing support
is reversed.

1) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3

supplied screws into the three pre-punched
screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use
hole positions A, B, or C depending on your
facing depth.

2) Use the same screw hole position for the

Side Nailing Strips as was used for the Top
Facing Support. Attach each side nailing
strip using 3 screws.
