VENTING
WARNING
This fireplace must be vented to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a
chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate
vent system. Do not use common vent systems.
INSTALLATION PLANNINGINSTALLATION PLANNINGINSTALLATION PLANNINGINSTALLATION PLANNING
The SÓLAS FORTY8, SIXTY0, and SEVENTY2 use 4x6 Direct-vent pipe.
There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose, taking
into consideration wall thicknesses.
FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONFOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONFOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONFOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
Select the amount of vertical rise
desired. All horizontal run of venting
must have ¼” rise for every 12” of
horizontal run.
WARNING
Never run the vent pipe level or downward. This may cause
excessive temperatures which could cause a fire.
FOR VFOR VFOR VFOR VERTICERTICERTICERTICAL TERMINATIONAL TERMINATIONAL TERMINATIONAL TERMINATION
Measure the distance from the Horizontal Vent Center Line (see diagram on page 8). Add the ceiling
thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the
roofline.
NOTE:
You may use two 45⁰ elbows in place of a 90⁰ elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using 45⁰
elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90⁰ elbows maximum of a combination of 90⁰
and 45⁰ elbows up to a maximum of 270⁰.
For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic,
additional pipe and elbows will be required.
It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and
the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.
INSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASEINSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASEINSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASEINSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASE
A chase is a vertical box like structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A
chase is required for such venting.
NOTICE
Treatment of firestops and construction of the
chase may vary from building type to building
type. These instructions are not substitutes for
local building code requirements.
NOTICE
When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you
would the outside walls of your home. This is especially
important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered a
combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to
combustibles.
06/24/2021

VENTING
Install a Simpson Duravent (Or equivalent) wall thimble, part number 46DVA-WT (not supplied by
SÓLAS), where the pipe passes through a wall to retain any insulation in the wall and to maintain proper
clearances. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material only (i.e., Masonry
block or concrete), the wall thimble is not required; and a hole with zero clearance is acceptable (6 ⅝”
hole).
NOTICE:
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.

VENTING
This SÓLAS Gas Fireplace has been tested and listed for installation with 4” X 6 5/8” M&G DuraVent
GS/Pro®, Selkirk Direct-Temp®, Security Secure Vent™, AmeriVent Direct™, Metal Fab Direct Vent and ICC
EXCELDirect venting components. Although you may use the pipe components (straight pipe, elbows,
etc.) from any of the listed manufacturers, you may only use the vent terminations (caps) listed in the
chart on the following page. For installations where a snorkel is needed, please note that only three
snorkels are approved for use. Please plan your installation accordingly.
For all specific venting installation requirements, follow the installation instructions included by the
venting manufacturer with the venting system components you have chosen.
PLEASE NOTE:
• It is assumed that the installation will include at least one 90° elbow. Up to three additional 90°
elbows (or equivalent 45° elbows) may also be used. The total venting may not exceed 30 feet
of vertical rise and/or 12 feet horizontal run. Refer to the venting charts on pages 16 for specific
details while you plan your installation. Note: The number of elbows impacts the maximum
allowable horizontal vent run.
• There should be a 1 1/2” overlap of the vent and combustion air tubes, when telescopic joints
are used.
• The location of the vent termination must meet the requirements of the current edition of ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code or CAN B419.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Just as with any other vented device, vertical vent rise creates draft (negative pressure) in the firebox as
the exhaust gases heat up. If this draft becomes excessive, it can affect the performance or appearance
of the fire. The SÓLAS Gas Fireplace includes an integrated air restrictor that can used to balance the
draft in the fireplace to the optimal level for installations where excessive draft might occur. The SÓLAS
Gas Fireplace will ship from the factory with the air restrictor set to the #1 position. If the licensed
fireplace installer determines that draft reduction is necessary, loosen the fastener on the dial and make
small adjustments from #1 to #4 until a satisfactory result has been achieved.
The air restrictor dial is located on the flue side of the firebox when
viewed from the front. To access, remove the lower air screen and side
panels. Once satisfied with the air restrictor adjustment, secure its
position by tightening all hardware.

VENTING
SÓLAS flue restrictor kit, part #11317
Some vent configurations may create excess draft within the fireplace. Excess draft can cause
issues such as a rapid, or “nervous” flame picture, undesirable flame color, or pilot lifting which may
prevent the fireplace from staying lit. In these circumstances it may be necessary to install the flue
restrictor kit part #11317 in the venting system. It is permissible to install this restrictor at the vent cap
should the venting system already be installed. Secure the restrictor plate with the included #10 sheet
metal screws.
SÓLAS FORTY8 flue baffle kit, part #11273
Certain vent configurations for the SÓLAS FORTY8, particularly those with a significant amount
or vertical in relation to the amount of horizontal vent pipe, may cause the flame to be unbalanced, or
biased toward the flue outlet side of the fireplace. Installation of this flue baffle, part #11273, will help to
resolve this issue. It may be necessary to use this restrictor on its own, or in addition to the SÓLAS flue
restrictor kit, part #11317 shown above. This flue baffle kit snaps into the fireplace as shown below.

FINAL ASSEMBLY
PLACING THE BURNER GLASSPLACING THE BURNER GLASSPLACING THE BURNER GLASSPLACING THE BURNER GLASS MEDIAMEDIAMEDIAMEDIA
The burner glass media poly-bag that you set aside when you unpacked the fireplace contains the
correct amount of glass material to cover the burner. DO NOT add any additional media to the media
supplied with your fireplace. The entire contents of the bag should be evenly distributed over the burner
tray.
1. Locate the burner in the fireplace. Refer to
the adjacent illustration.
5. Carefully clip one corner of the poly-bag to
form a pouring spout. The opening should
be large enough to allow the glass media to
flow but not so large that you can’t control
the flow.
6. You will notice that the burner surface is
designed with turned-up edges that form a
tray to hold the glass media.
7. Starting at one end, pour the glass media
onto the burner tray, keeping the pouring
spout on the poly-bag toward the center of
the burner to avoid spillage of glass pieces
over the sides of the burner. See the
adjacent illustrations.
8. Once you have poured all of the glass
burner media into the burner tray, carefully
smooth the glass pieces out so they have a
uniform depth over the entire surface of
the burner. When the burner glass media is
properly placed, it should look like the
adjacent illustrations.
Note: If a few pieces of glass escape over the edges
of the burner tray during installation, it is not a
problem. They will simply land in the area below
the burner and will do no harm.

LIGHTING & OPERATION
OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME
When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the curing
compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause
the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off and smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room
during the burn off period. After a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and the flames will
be at their normal height.
FLAME SUPERVISION DEVICE
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless manually lighting
the pilot. See full lighting instructions. Periodically check the pilot and burner flames, comparing them
to figure 2 on the preceding page, and the image at the bottom of this page.
LIGHTING, OPERATION, AND RATING
INFORMATION
The Lighting, Operation and Rating information is
located on a plate on the RH side of the firebox.
To access the plate, remove the surround and grab the plate and slide it up to read it. There is important
information on both sides of the plate.
SERVICING
If any attention is required for your appliance, contact your dealer quoting the model number. It will be
helpful if the appliance’s serial number can also be quoted. This number is on the rating plate, which is
