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 remote
• the gas valve
The remote 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 50”/1270 mm from the center 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
50”/1270 mm from the center 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 remote must get to the receiver, inside the access door.
Note that if the Access Door is not used its air access equivalent (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 (11¼”/286 mm high x 8⁄”/214 mm wide outer frame) 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.
