The Heat & Glo fireplace model discussed in this Installers
Guide has been tested to certification standards and listed
by the applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODEL: GATEWAY
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Vented Gas Fireplace
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.50•CSA2.22
Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before
installing the fireplace, consult the local building code
agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all
applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in
the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes
(in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70
(in the United States), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric
Code (in Canada).
These models (natural gas and propane) can be installed in
a bedroom (in the United States) which has a total volume
of unconfined space appropriate to the particular installation.
Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54
(current edition). The Uniform Mechanical Code - (current

Step 3. Negative Pressure
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot.
• Fireplace needs to draft properly for safety.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of fireplace and chimney
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Install the fresh air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace.
• Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design; at-
tic hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic mount-
ed ductwork and air handler joints and seams taped or
sealed.
• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fireplaces in basements.

• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heat-
ers and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks (recessed lighting, attic hatch open-
ing, duct leaks)
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the follow-
ing must be considered:
Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect performance.
As shown in Figure 3.3, the chimney should:
• Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, es-
pecially during lighting and die-down of the fire.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind turbulence.
• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, un-
even roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized.
Consider the fireplace location relative to floor and ceiling
and attic joists.

 Step 4. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
Model GATEWAY is approved to use Duravent 4-inch
(102mm) diameter B-type vent for installations that terminate
vertically. The PV-Flex Series vent pipe is approved for use
in installations that terminate horizontally. This pipe is tested
and listed as an approved component of the fireplace.
This model may also use single wall rigid or flexible gas
vent IF and ONLY IF the vent system is installed within
non-combustible construction such as a masonry chimney.
The same diameter noted above for B-type vent must be
used for single-wall vent (see Figure 3.6).
For B-type vent the clearance to combustibles is 1-inch.
Follow vent manufacturers REQUIRED clearances. For PV-
Flex the clearances are 1-1/2” top and 1” sides and bottom
when venting horizontally. For PV-Flex the clearances are
1” all sides when passing vertically through combustible
materials.
High temperature silicone sealant is required at all pipe joints.
The following figures are examples of approved venting con-
ditions. Venting downward (3’ maximum) is approved, to
allow venting below the floor. However, only one downward
section is allowed for up to, but not exceeding 3’ maximum.
NOTE: It is always better to first attach a straight section of
vent to the unit before attaching an elbow. Avoid using el-
bows in the vent system if possible.
Continue to add vent components, until the vent run is com-
pleted.
Using the four screws provided in the manual bag, attach
the flue outlet collar. Connect a vent component to the flue
outlet collar (see Figure 3.6).

NOTE: Due to the positive pressure within the Gateway

venting system, when using PV-FLEX use a 1/2” bead
of silicone caulk on ALL pipe ends and connectors
throughout the vent run to ensure a completely sealed
system. 50 FT.

Vent pipes must be installed within the conditioned house

Î envelope in order to avoid flue gas condensation. Vertical
termination through an unconditioned attic space is
permissible.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
B. System Components
Consult Local Building Code Officials and Codes for proper
vent system installations.
Plan and install the vent system using the parameters shown
in this vent system configuration chart.

If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
Placing the Ember Material
The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard
glowing ember material. To place the ember material:
• Unhook the spring clips around the glass door. Remove

the glass door.
• Ember material is to be placed on burner with caution. Do
NOT place ember material over burner port holes. Place
only dime size pieces along outer edges of port trails (see
Figure 3.31). The bag is for (4) ember applications. Failure
to apply ember material as directed could result in poor
lighting conditions and sooting problems. Save the remain-
ing ember materials for use during fireplace servicing.

GLASS SPECIFICATIONS:
MODEL GLASS TYPE
GATEWAY TEMPERED
Heat & Glo fireplaces manufactured with tempered glass
may be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub
enclosures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass
has been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI
Z97.1-1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certi-
fication Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural Test-
ing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Sec-
tion 1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which
refers to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall ac-
company the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any
distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory. Please con-
tact your dealer or distributor to order.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
Step 13. Lighting the Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.

WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S

!
Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following: LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions After the Installation
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide. ! LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH
THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.
• Confirm that 3V transformer is plugged into the junction
box as shown in Figure 3.27.
• Ensure vacuum hose (telfon tube) is firmly connected at
the vacuum hose connection point on both the blower
and the vacuum switch (see Figure 3.27).

4 Maintaining and Servicing
Your Fireplace

Fireplace Maintenance
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main-
tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-
ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
fireplace maintenance task.

IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING

YOUR FIREPLACE.
Replacing old ember material
Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape
pieces of Glowing Ember (050-721). New ember material
should be placed on top of the burner along outer edges of
port trails (see Figure 3.29). Save the remaining ember
material and repeat this procedure at your next servicing.
For more information, see Placing Ember Material.
Cleaning Burner and Controls
Frequency: Once annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Cleaning Flame Sensor Rod (IPI Systems)
Frequency: Annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Make a visual check of the straight flame sensor rod
(see Figure 3.25). Use emery cloth to carefully remove any
existing film or white deposits.
Figure 4.1
Burner Flame Patterns
Checking Vent System
Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually
thereafter, more frequently if possible.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to
ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect
entire vent system for proper function.
Cleaning Glass Door
Frequency: After the first 3 to 4 hours of use. As neces-
sary after initial cleaning.
By: Home owner.
Task: Remove and clean glass after the first 3 to 4 hours of
use. After the initial cleaning, clean as necessary, particu-
larly after adding new ember material. Film deposits on the
inside of the glass door should be cleaned off using a house-
hold glass cleaner. NOTE: DO NOT handle or attempt to
clean the door when it is hot and DO NOT use abra-
sive cleaners.

Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height

Frequency: Periodically.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’s flame patterns.
Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating.
See Figures 3.25 and 4.1. The sensor tip should be covered
with flame.
