COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, it is especially important to insulate outside the chase cavity, between studs and under the oor on
which appliance rests, if oor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be lled with approved restop.
If the replace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or a raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent cold transferring to the replace and into the room. It also helps to tape the venting for maximum air tightness and to
caulk restops.
LOCATING THE CONTROLS
The control system for the Element4 replaces consist of three major components: the receiver, the transmitter and the gas valve.
The transmitter is the remote control by which you operate the replace. The receiver and the gas control are at one end of a
line set which will extend approximately 16”/406 mm to the left of the replace. The other end of the line set is connected to the
rebox just left of center. As shipped, the line set is wrapped together and xed beneath the replace.
The Wall Access Door is provided with your replace and is designed to hold the receiver and gas control. When locating the Wall
Access Door you must consider four types of access:
1. Air access. Room air must be allowed to ow freely through the door perforations, up through the site-built platform
and above, through the enclosing replace chase.
2. Line set access. The line set is to be unwrapped which allows the controls to be then placed within approximately
16”/406 mm from the left end of the replace, as the cable runs.
3. Physical access. The gas valve/receiver must be readily accessible for maintenance, etc.
4. Wireless access. The signals from the transmitter (handheld, remote control) must get to the receiver, inside the
access door.
Note that if the Access Door is not used its equivalent in air (25 square inches) as well as line set, physical and wireless access must
be provided.
MOUNTING THE CONTROLS
Do not place the controls above the level of the burner. If the replace is to set directly on the oor, the controls must be placed outside the
non-combustible zone or insulated from the heat from the replace.
The Wall Access Door requires a rough opening of 9⁄”/250 mm high by 6⁄”/175 mm wide. The door should be mounted with
the hinge on the left side or with the hinge side down.
- Carefully cut the black tie wraps which hold the line set to the bottom of the replace then carefully unwrap the line set. Lay
the line set out towards the location of the Access Door. Do not kink the lineset and do not bend to a radius of less than 2”/50
mm. See Figure 24.
- Remove the four bolts holding the white door/frame cover to the frame. Separate the frame and cover then mount the Access
Door frame to the rough opening as shown in Figure 25.
- Replace the white door/frame cover onto the frame and secure it with the four bolts.
- Fit the gas control tab into the bracket on the Access Door frame then tighten the bolt through the mounting bosses . See
Figures 26 and 27.
- Set the receiver into the Access Door bracket as shown in Figure 28 and connect the AC adapter.
When mounted, the Access Door should look like that shown in Figure 29.
