VENT TERMINATION
Framing for vents in combustible walls and ceilings:
When passing through combustible walls and ceilings, framing will depend on the type of vent installation -- horizontal
or vertical. Ensure that the insulation is kept clear of the vent pipe using either a wall thimble or an attic insulation
shield. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the individual venting components.
These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any way. Install venting
according to local codes, these instructions, the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the
current standards of CAN/CSA-B149.1 in Canada.
Approved Pipe - This appliance is approved for use with M&G DuraVent venting and ICC.
DO NOT mix pipe, fittings or joining methods from different manufacturers.
For detailed Duravent chimney installation information please use the M&G DuraVent direct vent installation manual:
http://www.duravent.com
For detailed ICC chimney installation information please use the ICC direct vent installation manual:
http://icc-chimney.com/en/exceldirect
Instructions
• Where a vent pipe passes through a floor or ceiling, a ceiling firestop MUST be used to retain insulation and
maintain proper clearances. Use roof support brackets where needed.
• Install the first section of vent pipe into the collar on top of the fireplace.
• Connections between each vent system component must be tightly joined and secured. Follow the vent
manufacture instruction for information on how to seal and secure vent and vent connections.
• Horizontal runs of vent pipe must be supported to prevent any downward sags. Horizontal pipe sections should
be supported at least every 4 feet. Wall Straps can be used for this purpose.
• When installing the vent pipe, make sure that the vent pipe is supported by the structural/frame surrounding and
not by fireplace.
Follow the vent manufacture instruction for information on how install, seal and secure vent and vent connections.
DO NOT pack insulation around the vent. Insulation must be kept back from the pipe to prevent overheating.
ALWAYS maintain specified clearances around venting and firestop systems.
WARNING!

V ENT RESTRICTOR SETUP
Flare Fireplace direct vent system is equipped with a vent restrictor. Use Chimney Path Installation and Planning on
the next page to determine the right vent restrictor setup for your installation.
Vent restrictor changes and setup should only be done by a certified installer.
• The unit leaves the factory with the vent restrictor open.
• The vent restrictor is adjusted using a 10mm wrench below the front upper frame.
• The vent restrictor setting is from 1 (minimum restriction) to 6 (maximum restriction).
• The installer will document the restrictor setting in the end of the installation.
• Use the vent planning guide and table to determine the restrictor setting.
Signs the vent restrictor needs to be adjusted:
Vent restrictor should be opened if the flame has the following characteristics:
• Flame is excessively tall and lifting.
• Flame lacks movement.
Vent restrictor should be closed if the flame has the following characteristics:
• Flame height is low.
• Flame has excessive movement
Document any change to the restrictor setting.
Contact Flare Fireplaces for support if needed.

C HIMNEY PATH INSTALLATION AND PLAN NING
Before vent installation, the installer should read these instructions to ensure that the proper vent configuration has
been selected.
General instructions
• Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect.
• Various combinations of vent runs may be used. Refer to the tables below based on Fireplace size. Use the
attached example for clarification on how to use the table.
• The numbers in the table represent the restrictor setting based on the vent path.
• Symbol “x” in the table means the path is not allowed.
• Setting the restrictor to 1 means there is no restriction.
• Numbers in the table represent the restrictor setting to be set.
• Document the restrictor setting configuration prior to leaving the installation site.
• The tables apply to both NG (Natural Gas) and LP (Propane).
• Minimum 3 ft vertical run (A) required before any bend or turn.
o See Flare Front and Flare See Through exception.
o See Flare 50 & 60 5x8 table for exception
• A maximum of four 90º vent elbows are allowed in the vent run. Any configuration with more than 4 elbows
requires vent review and approval from Flare Fireplaces.
• Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
• The tables represent the manufacturer’s guideline based on testing and design. Additional external factors may
affect the restrictor choice needed. If flame appears to be not typical, please contact Flare Fireplaces for restrictor
size recommendations.
• Use the empty table in the page below to document and calculate the installation vent path.
• Any venting pathway that does not appear the tables below require approval from Flare Fireplaces.
For optimum performance and flame appearance, keep the vent length to a minimum and limit the number of elbows.

POWER VENTING
For unsupported vent routes (based on the gravity vent tables above) a power venting solution is required. The
power venting solutions allow Flare Fireplaces to operate in vent conditions that would not be possible without
the motor unit. See the Flare Power Vent Installation Manual for more specific instructions.
The system is designed and tested with DuraVent 3x5 gasket direct vent pipes. It is critical for the safety and
operation of the system to use the DuraVent 3x5 gasket system.
To calculate the vent runs use the following tables and instructions. Please note that power vent runs are model
(burner) specific. Use the tables below to calculate the restrictor setting.
01/29/2018
63 | Page
Instructions:
When using the power vent system, direction of flow through the vents can be up, down, horizontal or diagonal since
the system is sealed and vacuumed. The vent restrictor level should be set based on length in feet, number of elbows
and the vent termination.
NOTE: A minimum of 12 feet of venting is required between the fireplace and the in-line power vent. Do not use the
power vent if the vent routing is less than 12 feet. Refer to the Flare Power Vent Installation Manual for more specific
instructions.
Clearance - Clearances between the vent pipe and combustible materials must be maintained at 3” inches top and 1”
for side and below. Maintain the same clearance from the power vent box to any combustible materials.
Power vernt unit must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with these instructions.
CAUTION! Failure to install, operate, and maintain the power venting system in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions will result in conditions which may produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

Electrical connection to the PV system
• The PV system will need to be connected to an AC 110V 15A power outlet.
• The PV system is connected to the Fireplace control system with a low voltage (6V) 3 wire cable - labeled
below as connection “Fan Exhust Optional”.
• Cable to be used is 16 AWG-3 copper wire (not solid wire). Cable is not included with the PV kit.
• Connect low voltage cable from the Power Vent to Connection 6 (below), matching colors - white to
white, black to black & green to green).
• Fans and sensors on the main board are optional and will be included on double glass systems.

Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with local codes, if any. If not available, follow ANSI 223.1.
Installation should be done by a qualified installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality (in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).
O RIFICE SIZE
Flare Fireplace appliances are tested and approved for installations at elevations of 0–4500 feet (0–1372 meters)
above sea level using the standard burner orifice sizes. At the time of installation, it must be determined if the
appliance needs to be derated. Contact your local gas supplier for deration requirements for your area.
Derated installation consideration can start at 2000 Ft above sea level.
At higher elevations, the amount of BTU fuel value delivered must be reduced by either using gas that has been
derated by the gas company or by changing the burner orifice to a smaller size as regulated by the local authorities
having jurisdiction and by the (USA) National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or in Canada, the
CAN/CSA-B149.1 codes – latest edition.

GAS VALVE ACCESS DOOR
The Flare Fireplace gas valve and control system is on an “umbilical cord” that can be stretched up to 50” from the
middle of the fireplace and be put next to the access door location.
Do not place the gas valve or controls above the level of the burner. If the fireplace is to set low on the floor, the
controls must be placed outside the non-combustible zone or insulated from the heat from the fireplace.
The access door can be placed on any side of the fireplace, below the non-combustible line.
The use of a 10”x10” access door is highly recommended. If no access door is installed, it is possible to access the gas
valve from inside the fireplace by removing the glass.
The access door can also be used as a lower air intake for a double glass installation so long as it is perforated, and the
opening requirements are maintained.
The access door can be concealed in many ways such as HVAC vent cover, removable tile connected with Velcro straps
and more.

F LARE FIREPLACES - DOUBLE GLASS
O VERVIEW
With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with a safety double
glass technology. The Flare Fireplace double glass is built with two layers of glass. The design allows cool air to flow
between the two layers, with the help of built-in blowers, which significantly lowers the temperature of the external
glass making it safe for a brief touch. Double Glass is suitable for commercial as well as residential use.
The double glass feature provides sleek look with no frame while maintaining heating characteristics and efficiency.
This feature does not affect the clearance or venting requirements.
D OUBLE GLASS - I NSTRUCTIONS
The double glass design depends on the blower’s ability to move room temperature air from the lower air intake, up
between the internal and external glass, through the chase above the fireplace, and out the upper heat release.
The following sizes MUST be maintained for the upper heat release:
For fireplaces sized 60” / 150 cm and above - vent area must be at least 140 square inches.
For fireplace sized 50” / 125 cm and below - vent area must be at least 100 square inches.
01/29/2018
70 | Page
The following sizes MUST be maintained for the lower air intake:
For fireplaces sized 60” / 150 cm and above - vent area must be at least 70 square inches.
For fireplaces sized 50” / 125 cm and below - vent area must be at least 50 square inches.
For See Through and Room Definer fireplaces, the air intake requirements are double.
The upper heat release may be a single or multiple openings if the total size of all the openings is at least the minimum
requirement listed above. They can be set at the front, back, side or top.
The lower air intake may be a single or multiple openings if the total size of all the openings is at least the minimum
requirement listed above. They can be set at the front, back, side or top. It is recommended to place one opening on
either side of longer units, to allow for better distribution across all fans of air taken in from the bottom.
Lower air intake is REQUIRED for double glass and units with an optional blower kit.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The built-in active blower system for the double glass design requires a power 110v 1PH 15A.
TELEVISION MOUNTING ABOVE FIREPLACE
The Flare Fireplace frameless design directs the heat from the fireplace into the fireplace chase to be released from
the top vent opening. The design allows for relatively low temperature on the external wall above the fireplace.
Follow the chart below for suggested installation of a television above the fireplace
• Please note that electric wiring used for the television must be insulated when installed below non-
combustible line.
• It is critical that wiring insulation does not obstruct the hot air flow from going to the top part of the chase to
be released back to the room.
• Follow the chart below for clearance and sizing.
• It is recommended to double wall the area behind the TV to allow cables and other related material to be
installed with less concern of blocking hot air flow. Use non-combustible material for double wall.
• All wires MUST be secured and anchored to the frame to prevent any possibility of wires dropping on top of
the Fireplace.
• TV must be recessed when installed above the Fireplace or protected by a mantel.
• Wires should be inserted to the recess from the top or sides (In order to avoid proximity to the fireplace
vent).
Please note that most television manufactures and manuals will instruct the owner not to install television above or
near a fireplace. Mounting a television above the fireplace is based on the owner’s decision and responsibility.
See next page for example and clearance information.

TV INSTALL RECESS – 45 DGREE ELBOW ON TOP OF THE UNIT
When planning a TV recess, clearance to the vent is critical and needs to be a minimum of 1” to the noncombustible
recessed wall. This is to prevent heat from the vent radiating to the recessed wall and being transferred to the TV.
Due to the central location and diameter of the vent (8 inches), one of the following solutions may be necessary to
maintain the clearance requirement:
1. Install the fireplace with a recess up to 4” inches at the top of the glass, which will bring the front wall out
and allow for space to recess also the TV. See an example of this on the previous page.
2. Install two 45 elbows directly above the fireplace followed by a minimum 4 ft vertical vent rise. The two small
elbows will move the vertical section back 5 5/8”. Note that the 1 inch clearance from the vent applies also to
the back non combustible wall.
4x6 5x8
Offset Rise Offset Rise
5” 13 1⁄2” 5 5⁄8” 15 3⁄8”
3. Do not use any elbow with an angle larger than 45 degrees.
4. 4 ft minimum vertical vent must be used after the two 45 degree elbows.
5. Above vent path should be used for Flare Front and Flare See Through only.

CLEARANCES
G ENERAL I NFORMATION AND STEPS
1. Floor clearance – The minimum clearance to floor is 1 inch, although the telescopic legs retract to 4 inches
below the fireplace. This means the legs may be set into the floor a maximum of 3 inches while maintaining
the minimum clearance to the floor.
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces extending full width and depth.
WARNING! - DO NOT install directly on carpeting, vinyl or any combustible material other than wood.
2. Front clearance - Do not put furniture or objects within 36 inches (914 mm) of glass front of appliance.
3. Clearance to Metal frame – Clearance to metal frame is 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) minimum. In the chase, metal
framing is required 18 inches above the fireplace. Above that, wood studs covered by non-combustible
material is allowed. See the next page for details.
4. Minimum Combustible Clearances from Vent –
• HORIZONTAL VENT CLEARANCES: A minimum clearance of 3 inches (76mm) to the top and 1 inch
(25mm) to the sides and bottom of the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required.
• VERTICAL VENT CLEARANCES: A minimum of 1 inch (25mm) all around the vent pipe on all vertical
runs to combustibles is required except for clearances in appliance enclosures.
• Horizontal Vents must have a minimum 1/4 inch (6mm) rise per 1 foot run towards the termination.
WARNING! - Never allow the vent to run downward. A Downward slope can trap heat and become a possible
fire hazard.
WARNING!
Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as detailed above.
DO NOT pack air space with insulation or other materials.
Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from vent pipe could cause overheating and fire.
5. Mantel Clearance – Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel depth and height. Use
table and diagram on page 70 for guidelines on Mantel Installation
01/29/2018
76 | Page
6. Fireplace shelf enclosure – The minimum height to the inside of a shelf above the fireplace is 6 inches (12
inches above the glass). The shelf must be built with non-combustible material at least 5/8” thick. Due to the
low size of shelf enclosure, it is recommended to build the enclosure using a Skamol board. The Skamol board
is a light non-combustible material that can help prevent the formation of cracks and is a good insulator. The
shelf enclosure must comply with Flare heat release requirements.
7. Ceiling Clearance-
The minimum ceiling height for a Flare is the top of the Non-Combustible Zone, as defined in the next item.
For Flare 24” models – the minimum height will be 40”, from the top of the unit.
For Flare 16” models - the minimum height will be 47” from the top of the unit.
The heat release above the fireplace is critical for keeping the chase and surrounding
walls at a relatively low temperature.
The Non-Combustible Zone extends 75 inches up from the base of the fireplace. On Flare models with 16-inch high
glass, the top of this zone is 47 inches from the top of the fireplace. On Flare models with 24-inch high glass, the top of
this zone is 40 inches from the top of the fireplace.
8. Minimum clearance to sides and back - non-combustible – The minimum clearance from the back and sides
of the fireplace to any non-combustible material (i.e. cement board or Type X fire rated board) is 2 inches
below the non-combustible line. This clearance allows for proper air flow.
9. Minimum clearance to sides and back – Covered combustible - Combustible material at the back or sides of
the fireplace, below the non-combustible line, MUST be covered with non-combustible material that is at
least ½ inch thick.
Example: A non-combustible cement board is placed
2 inches from the back of the fireplace. The cement
board used is 1/2 inch thick. Combustible material
can be used behind cement board as it is a total of 2
1/2 inches ( 2” + ½” ) away from the back of the
fireplace and is covered with a non- combustible
material.
01/29/2018
77 | Page
10. Minimum clearance to sides and back – Combustible – Clearance to combustible material at the back or
sides of the fireplace, below the non-combustible line is 8” . Please note this does not include minimum
clearance directly above the fireplace inside the chase. Please see items starting 12.
11. Minimum clearance directly above the fireplace inside the chase – non-combustible – All non combustible
studs to be installed a minimum of ½” away from the fireplace. Metal studs should not connect to the
fireplace or touching the fireplace. Doing so will result in heat transfer from the fireplace to the metal stud.
12. Minimum clearance directly above the fireplace inside the chase – Combustible
No combustible material or covered combustible material should be placed inside the chase 18” directly
above the fireplace ( Zone A ) .
Covered combustible material may be placed inside the chase 18 inches above the fireplace (Zone B ). See
details and chart below.
Above the Non-Combustible Zone, combustible material may be used without a non-combustible covering.

13. Finishing around front of the fireplace - Non-combustible finishing material (i.e. cement board, brick, stone,
tile & 5/8-inch Type X fire rated drywall) MUST be used to finish around the front of the appliance (in the
non-combustible area).
Covered combustible material, below the non-combustible line, can be used to finish around the fireplace,
fireplace if the proper distance from the fireplace is maintained.
DO NOT connect materials to or drill into the metal fireplace frame. This can result in excessive heat transfer
and/ or damage to the fireplace and surrounding materials.
14. Hearth Clearance - Clearance to an uncovered combustible hearth below the glass is 2 inches. A combustible
hearth may be covered with at least 5/8-inch thick non-combustible material which is placed directly below
the glass. Any combustible supporting material, such as wood studs must also be covered with 5/8-inch thick
non-combustible material.
A non-combustible hearth can be installed directly below glass level.
15. Adjacent Wall – Distance to any side adjacent wall must be at least 7 inches from the glass.

HEAT RELEASES
All Flare Fireplaces (both safety screen and double glass units) require heat releases for warm air to flow back into the
room. This controls the temperature of the surrounding walls, keeping them relatively cool.
Top Hot Release - The release/ outlet for hot airflow from the wall enclosure MUST remain open. The outlet must be
at the top part of the enclosure but not necessarily at the front, so long as the measurements below are maintained.
Heat release opening can be installed at the sides of the enclosure (one on every side), back or on top of (in case of a
drop wall design).
For fireplaces sized 60” / 150 cm and above - vent area must be at least 140 square inches.
For fireplace sized 50” / 125 cm and below - vent area must be at least 100 square inches.
The top of the outlet(s) must be at least 1” (25mm) down from the ceiling and no more than 3” (76mm) down. The
vent can also be installed on top of the enclosure, in case of a drop wall (a chase that is not built all the way to the
upper ceiling).
Any opening greater than the minimum size is highly recommended and will help reduce the temperature of the
surrounding walls.
AIR INTAKE
Flare Fireplace units with Double Glass or an optional Blower Kit require air intake below the glass. This allows air
circulation which cools the external glass and increases the efficiency of the fireplace. See diagram on page 63.
Lower Air Intake - Optional for normal safety screen installation. Required for installation with double glass or safety
screen with optional blower kit.
For fireplaces sized 60” / 150 cm and above - vent area must be at least 70 square inches.
For fireplaces sized 50” / 125 cm and below - vent area must be at least 50 square inches.
For See Through and Room Definer fireplaces, the air intake requirements are double.
Lower vent opening can also be used as an access door to the gas valve as long as it meets both requirements in terms
of size. Lower vent opening can be installed at the sides of the enclosure (one on every side), back or front. It is
recommended to place one opening on either side of longer units, to allow for better distribution across all fans of air
taken in from the bottom.

HOME AUTOMATION
The Flare Fireplace can be operated through an external source such as a smart home (home automation) system by
using the 5-pin connector on the receiver.
The Flare Home Automation Cable (below) must be used between the Flare receiver and the home automation
system. Position the home automation system so that the Flare Home Automation Cable can be connected directly.
Do not extend or splice. The millivolt system will not work properly if the cable is extended or spliced.
Signal relays (gold contacts) or opto-couplers are recommended but not supplied. The Flare Home Automation Cable
must be connected to the three smart home system contacts as shown below.
Operation
• To start ignition, close contacts 1 and 3 simultaneously
for 1 second.
• To set the valve to High Fire, close contact 1.
• To set the valve to Pilot, close contact 3. In each case,
the contacts need to be closed for 12 seconds to turn
the motor from one end-stop to the other end stop.
• To set the valve to the Off position, close contacts 1, 2,
and 3 simultaneously for 1 second.
Modes of operation
Mode 1 - the external source provides “ON“ and “OFF“ operation only. The remote-control handset provides all other
functions.
Note: Even if the fire is switched on by the external source, the handset, in the thermostatic mode, controls the room
temperature. The room temperature setting of the handset will remain the same for the next ON-cycle of the external
source as long as the temperature setting in the handset has not been changed. If the handset is in manual mode, it
will go to High Fire in the next cycle of external operation.
Mode 2 - The handset must be set to the manual mode if the external source is to control the room temperature. If
the handset is placed in the thermostatic mode it will override the external source.
