IMPortAnt: Failure to read and follow these instruc-
tions may create a possible hazard and will void the fire-
place warranty.
These instructions must remain with the equipment.
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts or Abrasions. Wear protective
gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal
edges are sharp.
Note: The battery back-up feature of the IPI system is re-
moved when the PVLP-SLP power vent is installed. The
fireplace may no longer be operated with battery back-up.
The PVLP-SLP operates on 120VAC, 60Hz electrical ser-
vice which is supplied at the fireplace junction box.
IMPortAnt oPErAtIonAL notE: When the control
being used to run the fireplace is activated, a 2-minute delay
will occur before pilot ignition will begin. This is to allow a
pre-purge by the PVLP-SLP. If, after 90 seconds, the pilot
and burner do not light, refer to the Troubleshooting section
of this instruction for further direction. If a remote is being
used, there will also be a 20-minute post-purge in which the
PVLP-SLP will continue to run after appliance is turned off.
Installation of the PVLP-SLP may be done by a qualified
service technician only. Installation MUST comply with lo-
cal, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
Note: The PVLP-SLP requires a PVLP-CK on all appliance
models except the PRIMO models. The PVLP-CK is sold
separately.

2 Vent Information and Diagrams
A. Installation of Vent Pipe
For information on standard procedures for venting the
appliance, refer to the "Vent Information and Diagrams"
section of the appliance installation manual.
For the allowable pipe lengths and elbow combinations for
an appliance utilizing the PVLP-SLP, consult the Power
Vent diagrams in the Vent Information and Diagrams sec-
tion of the appliance installation manual. The PVLP-SLP
uses SLP pipe (6-5/8 inch) connections.
In certain cases, a pipe adapter may be used in the vent
run. The DVP-2SL adapts from 5 in. / 8 in. DVP series
starting collars to 4 in. / 6-5/8 in. SLP series vent pipe. A
DVP-SLP24 may also be used to transition from a DVP to
SLP pipe when using this cap.
Either SLP or DVP venting may be used throughout the
vent run except on certain models that require DVP pipe.
See Table 2.1. Refer to Section 2.B for more information
regarding venting regulations.
B. Vent/Pipe Regulations
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Maintain minimum pipe length requirement between
appliance and PVLP-SLP on all models. Combustible
materials surrounding pipe may overheat.
1. A minimum length of venting is required between the
appliance and the PVLP-SLP. This minimum length
requirement varies for the specific appliance. Refer to
Table 2.1. for requirements for specific models. Once
the minimum length requirement is met, the PVLP-SLP
may be installed at any location within the vent run
configuration.
2. For every 1 ft. of vertical drop the total allowable length
must be reduced by 2 ft.
Figure 2.1 Silicone Sealant
All outer pipe joints must be sealed with silicone (with a
minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating), includ-
ing the slip section that connects directly to the horizontal
termination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 2.1.
• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer flues shall be sealed
in this manner, unless otherwise stated.
note: See Table 2.1 for model specific vent requirements.

temperature and environmental ratings.
• Thoroughly sand the existing coating prior to
painting with sand paper or steel wool.
• The front of the cap cover may be field-painted
and cured up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204°
C). All remaining parts of the cap may be
painted but they may not be cured beyond 190
degrees Fahrenheit (88° C) due to gaskets and
components overheating.
• Certain areas of the cap surface may reach up to
600 degrees Fahrenheit (316° C). Paints selected
should have sufficient temperature ratings.
• Cap contains silicone sealant which could affect
adherence of paint. Please advise local painter
of silicone content.

NOTICE: It is imperative that the PVLP-BEK kit be installed
squarely or the PLVP-SLP may not fit into opening left once
finishing has occurred. Also care should be taken to ensure
that PVLP-BEK is secured flat to wall.
17. The wall is now ready to be finished. Finishing
materials such as stone, marble or brick can then
be applied up to the flanges of the PVLP-BEK that
protrude perpendicular to the wall. This will ensure
that the cap will fit into the opening after finishing has
been completed.
NOTICE Outside flanges of the PVLP-BEK must not have
any pressure on them from the finishing materials. This

11. Assemble the PVLP-BEK kit. Bend the two sections
of the PVLP-BEK kit as shown in Figure 3.18.
12. Use the supplied screws to assemble the box as shown
in Figure 3.19. The return bend on section A should
be located on the outside of section B.
13. Place assembled box over the framed opening in the
wall with outside flanges oriented vertically and held
tight to the building exterior. See Figure 3.20.
note: A PVLP-BEK kit will be needed for installations with
exterior finishing materials greater than 1 in. thick. Order with
the appliance and venting system. It will be used to ensure
that the finishing is done to the appropriate size for the low
profile power vent (PVLP) to be installed properly.
If installing with finishing material less than
1 inch thick go to step 22.
14. Drive two of the supplied screws through opposite
ends of the two outer flanges. This will secure the
PVLP-BEK extension box to the building and allow
for squaring of the PVLP-BEK. See Figure 3.20.
15. Seal all corners, joints and bend lines with silicone
(with a minimum of 300° F continuous exposure rating)
caulk. Ensure all gaps and holes are filled so a sealed
envelope is formed.
16. If finishing material extends past the cap extension
box (BEK) more than one inch, an additional BEK is
required. Cap extension boxes may be stacked for
thicker wall applications:
• Attach first box to the wall.
• Assemble second box.
• Bend the two outside flanges of the second box
around to the inside of the box.
• Secure the second box to the first using four #8 x 1/2
sheet metal screws.

A. Installation Inspection
1. Follow safety inspection procedures recommended by
national, provincial, and/or local codes.
2. Be certain all electrical connections are properly made
and secure.
3. Visually inspect the vent system and determine that
there is no flue gas spillage, blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion or other unsafe deficiencies.
4. Place the fireplace in operation and determine that the
burner and power vent are operating properly. The
main burner should show no signs of floating, lifting, or
flashbacks.

Table 5.
B. Setting the PVLP-SLP Baffle Adjustment
CAUTION! Risk of electrical shock! DO NOT allow
120VAC wires to contact hot metal surfaces. Use sup-
plied wire ties to bundle wires away from flue pipe, fan
housing and other metal surfaces.
C. Operating Instructions
After installation of the power vent, follow the operation
instructions of the fireplace.
1. Turn the fireplace ON/OFF switch to "ON".
note: During periods of operation after turning the
fireplace "ON", there will be a delay before the fireplace
ignites. This is due to the time necessary for the fan to
reach operating speed and to remove any gases from the
combustion chamber.
2. After turning the switch to the "ON" position, if the fire-
place does not turn on, shut the switch to "OFF" and
inspect the power vent system for any debris that may
be obstructing the fan blade movement.
3. Turn the fireplace ON/OFF switch to "OFF" to turn off
the burner and the power vent.
D. Maintenance
WARNING! Risk of Shock! Before performing any main-
tenance or repair to the power vent assembly, make sure
electrical power is disconnected to the fireplace.
1. Vent System: Inspect all components and connections
annually. Replace, seal, or tighten pipe connections if
necessary.
2. Motor: The fan motor bearings are sealed and no further
lubrication is necessary. To access the motor, vacuum
switch or pressure sense tube, refer to Section 5.E.
Figure 5.1
Figure 5.2
CAUTION! Risk of overheating! The baffle must remain
fully closed when using PVLP-SLP with PRIMO models.
note: The air baffle may be adjusted after installation.
The baffle adjustment screw can be accessed by remov-
ing the front cap cover.
• If the burner flames are short, active, and jumping – turn
the bolt counter-clockwise (open). Check the burner
flames and adjust the baffle again as necessary until the
flames are stable, strong, and steady.
• If the burner flames are tall, lifting, floating, and ghost-
like, the baffle is too open and MUST be closed (turn bolt
clockwise).
• If the pilot continously sparks and does not become
steady, the baffle may need to be opened. The
requirements in Table 5 must still be met.

Symptoms
Possible Causes Corrective Action
IntelliFire Plus System
Main Closes/ Pilot open, 5 seconds later pilot
sparking with Blower ON. If condition persists
for 60 seconds, 8K-1 locks out with 3 LED
alarm.
Pilot Rectification Failure 1. Verify that black wire on IPI wire harness is prop-
erly grounded to the fireplace chassis.
2. Verify that pilot is not being compromised by draft
such that it fails to rectify. With the glass as-
sembly in place, verify that the pilot flame is en-
gulfing the flame sensing rod on the left side of
the pilot hood. With a multi-meter, verify that the
current in series between the module and the
sense lead is at least 0.14 microamps.
3. Verify that line inlet pressure is within range on
rating plate and correct pilot orifice is in pilot.
4. If #1-4 are correct, replace IPI module.
Pilot and Main shut down and 8K1-PVI locks
out with 4, 5, or 6 LED alarm.
Blocked Flue/Insufficient Draft 1. Verify the teflon pressure tube is connected be-
tween blower impeller housing and vacuum
switch.
2. Verify that wiring within PVI is correct and that the
blower operates during the ignition command.
3. Verify that the venting is connected and sealed
properly.
4. Verify that the vent termination is not blocked.
5. If #1 thru #4 are complete, connect black and red
wires to bypass vacuum switch. If malfunction
is corrected, lock-out system until the vacuum
switch can be replaced.
Main Closes, 5 seconds later pilot sparking
with Blower ON. If condition persists for 60
seconds, 8K-1 locks out with 3 LED alarm.
Shorted Pilot Sense 1. Verify that the white sensor lead is properly con-
nected to the S-terminal on the module.
2. Check for soot deposits on the pilot sense rod,
adjacent shielding, or logs. If so, clean affected
parts.
3. Verify that the white sense lead from the pilot is
not damaged or melted within the firebox or valve
compartment. Replace pilot if damage exists.
Main Closes, 5 seconds later pilot sparking
with Blower ON. If condition persists for 60
seconds, 8K-1 locks out with 3 LED alarm.
Disconnected Pilot Sense Verify that white sensor lead is properly connected
to the S-terminal and the orange ignitor lead is con-
nected to the I-terminal on the module
If given ignition command in both ON and RE-
MOTE modes, system immediately locks-out
with 3 LED alarm. Does not spark or attempt
to ignite.
Pre-Existing/False Pilot Flame Check for pre-existing pilot flame. If so, the valve is
defective and should replaced.
Pilot rectifies, burner begins to light, but has a
difficult time fully lighting.
Draft from back of firebox is too strong due to
power vent.
Make sure air baffle is properly adjusted. If it is ad-
justed properly, place ember material along the back
side of the ports that are experiencing the difficult
lighting. This will block a portion of the strong draft.
