Installation Notes

Before installation the chimney must be inspected, cleaned and repaired as needed, and any damper plate, liners or grates that block the insert removed. The insert must not share a flue with a solid-fuel appliance, and the vent liner must terminate in a rain cap with the space between chimney and liner capped. Gas can connect with 1/2 in rigid pipe, copper or an approved flex connector. In New York City, gas work must be done by a licensed master plumber under permit, so confirm your fireplace and chimney before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my fireplace?

With the controls inside, the opening must be at least 33 in wide at the front (centered), 22 in at the back, 19-1/2 in high and 14-1/4 in deep. Moving the controls outside reduces the front width to 28 in.

Does it need power?

Millivolt models run without household power. ProFlame 2 models use electronic ignition and the blower needs power.

Which front should I choose?

Pick the Clean View front that covers your fireplace opening; the size each one covers is listed in the front option.

Is media included?

No. Media is required and selected separately: logs, or a glass or rock platform with decorative media.
