Fireplace Dimensions

Fig. 3-1

The G8 Series vent-free gas log sets are available with a manual ODS pilot or an on/off remote.

This burner system has been certifi ed to two standards:

UNVENTED ROOM HEATER-ANSI Z21.11.2b-2010

A spark ignition system (piezo) allows the gas pilot to be lit without the use of matches, and permits the operation of the appliance during a power outage.

This burner system is equipped with an Oxygen

Depletion Sensor (ODS) safety pilot system. The ODS senses the amount of oxygen available in the room and shuts the burner system off before the oxygen level drops below 18%. The pilot can only be relit when fresh air is available. This may require opening a window or a door to another room or cracking the damper open slightly.

VENTED DECORATIVE APPLIANCE-ANSI Z21.60b-2004

Check local or state codes to determine if vent-free heaters are permitted in your locality before you install this burner system as a vent-free appliance. If not permitted, you may install and operate this burner system as a vented appliance.

Important: For safe operation and proper performance of this product and to comply with certifi cation, listings, and building code acceptances, use ONLY Peterson Real-Fyre® controls, parts, and accessories that have been specifi cally listed or certifi ed for use with this burner system. Use of other controls, parts, or accessories is prohibited and will void all warranties, certifi cations, listings, and building code approvals, and may cause property damage, personal injury, and loss of life.

VENTILATION AND CONFINED SPACE SAFETY INFORMATION

Your vent-free gas burner system SHALL NOT BE INSTALLED IN A CONFINED SPACE or unusually tight construction unless provisions are made for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

• The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defi nes a confi ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 meters 3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

unconfi ned space is a space where volume is at least 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 meters 3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

• Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfi ned space.

WARNING: Do not install the unvented burner system where the room is considered a confined space (see Fig. 6-1).

To determine if the area where this burner system is to be installed fi ts the defi nition of an unconfi ned space, multiply the length of the room by the width of the room by the height of the room, then multiply by 20. The result is the maximum

BTU allowed.

(Length x Width x Height x 20 = Maximum BTUs allowed)

Example: To install a Peterson Real-Fyre ® vent-free gas burner system with 36,000 BTU, maximum, in a space with no other gas-burning appliances, the space MUST be

1,800 cu. ft. or larger.

Assuming an 8' ceiling, fl oor dimensions must be a minimum of 225 sq. ft., i.e.; 18'x12.5'=225 sq ft (see Fig. 6-1).

Fig. 6-1

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO OPEN A WINDOW

SLIGHTLY (1"- 2") OR OTHERWISE INCREASE

VENTILATION. CONDITIONS REQUIRING THIS

INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

1. Installation in a CONFINED SPACE.

2. Installation in a HOME OF UNUSUALLY

TIGHT CONSTRUCTION**.

3. Installation at HIGH ALTITUDES.

4. C e r t a i n M E D I C A L O R P H Y S I C A L

CONDITIONS OF THE HOMEOWNER that may be adversely impacted by combustion products created by burning natural or propane gas.

W

H

Installation in a tightly constructed home and/

or installation at high altitudes may cause your vent-free burner system to produce excessive heat or excessive moisture. The oxygen depletion sensor may shut down the burner system. These conditions may be corrected by opening a window or otherwise increasing the number of air changes in the home.

L

L x W x H x 20 = Maximum BTU allowed

**

Unusually tight construction is defi ned as construction where: a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6x1011 kg per pa-sec-m 2 ), or less with openings gasketed or sealed;

WARNING

If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defi ned as an unconfi ned space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable local codes.

b. Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors, and c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and fl oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

REMEMBER

L x W x H x 20 = MAXIMUM BTUs ALLOWED

If the space is smaller than the above formula allows, and/or smaller than the examples and diagrams on this page specify, DO NOT install the vent-free burner system unless provisions for additional combustion and ventilation air are made.

The Peterson Real-Fyre ® vent-free burner system has been certifi ed to function safely and reliably with emission by-products well within accepted safety and health standards. Your specifi c medical or physical

condition may render you more sensitive to products created by burning natural or propane gas. If this is the case, you should open a window or otherwise increase ventilation.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

If the vent-free burner system is installed in a factory built fi replace, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for minimum clearances to combustibles.

In the absence of such guidelines, follow the instructions below:

Because of these variables, we cannot guarantee that heat warping or discoloration will never occur. The potential for heat warping or discoloration may exist no matter what item(s) you are burning in the fi replace, including wood.

Minimum clearances to side walls and ceiling

Clearances to Combustible Construction:

Sidewalls : 16" from side of fi replace opening (Fig. 7-1 ).

Ceiling: 42" from top of fi replace opening (Fig. 7-1 ).

Flooring: See IN FRONT OF FIREPLACE section below.

Mantel: See ABOVE THE FIREPLACE section below &

Fig. 6-1. Also see Fig. x-1, & x-2 on following page) .

42"

Fig. 7-1

Note: Clearances to combustible construction are those distances required to ensure that fi replace mantels, facings, walls, ceilings, and fl oorings will not catch fi re.

In most cases, these clearances should also be adequate to prevent any discoloration or warping due to heat. However, every gas burner installation presents a different and unique set of circumstances involving many variables beyond the control of the manufacturer.

These include paint or fi nish composition, previous exposure to heat, methods and quality of construction, air fl ow patterns, glass doors, fans or blowers, etc.

16"

Side wall: 16" from side of fi replace opening.

Ceiling: 42" from top of fi replace opening.

The dimensions in Fig. 7-1 are MINIMUM

CLEARANCES to maintain when you install this burner system. BOTH SIDES of the fi replace opening

MUST BE AT LEAST 16" from any combustible sidewalls. The ceiling MUST BE at least 42" from the top of the fi replace opening.

IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE:

Be certain that combustible fl ooring material (i.e.: carpet, tile, etc.) is not too close to the vent-free unit. If the vent-free burner system is at fl oor level or less than 6" above the fl oor, there MUST be at least 12" (1 foot) of noncombustible material between the front of the fi replace and any combustible fl ooring.

ABOVE THE FIREPLACE:

To install the vent-free burner system, there must ALWAYS be noncombustible or heat resistant material immediately above the fi replace opening. Heat resistant materials (i.e., marble or slate) must be at least 5/8" thick. Sheet metal should not be installed onto combustible materials.

If you DO NOT install a fi replace hood, there MUST be at least 12" of noncombustible or heat resistant material immediately above the fi replace opening (see A in Fig. x-1 on the following page). If you DO install a fi replace hood, there MUST be at least 10" of noncombustible or heat resistant material immediately above the fi replace opening (see B in Fig. x-2 on the following page). If there is a wooden mantel, shelf, or other combustible projection above the fi replace, follow the information in the Figures on the next page.

EXAMPLE: If the fi replace has a combustible projection (mantel or shelf) 20" above the top of the fi rebox, the maximum horizontal projection out from the face of the fi replace will be:

1. If a fi replace hood is not installed - 2.5" (see Fig. x-1 on the following page).

2. If a fi replace hood is installed ------ 10" (see Fig. x-2 on the following page).

A fi replace hood defl ects heat away from the fi replace face and mantel, reducing the potential for heat related warping or discoloration. The use of a fi replace hood is highly recommended.

IF YOU CANNOT MEET THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES, YOU MUST OPERATE THE VENT-FREE

BURNER SYSTEM WITH THE CHIMNEY FLUE DAMPER OPEN.

Note: Fig. x-1 & x-2 on the following page are for standard G8 burners.

IMPORTANT

For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the pilot will light and burn properly. The time needed to purge will depend on the length of the gas line to the unit and the amount of time since the unit or gas line was last used. It may take several minutes before all the air is purged and the pilot will light and burn properly. Reference the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section in this manual.

IMPORTANT

Check the gas pressure with the system burning and the control fully ON.

The burner system and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1 /

2

psig (3.5 kPa). The burner system must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas-supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1 /

2

psig (3.5 kPa). This is accomplished by closing the gas-supply line valve.

Air intake openings

(on each side)

Fig. 22-1

Do not remove the rating plates or the warning tags. These are an integral safety and identifi cation component of this appliance.

During periods of heavy use, inspect the burner system frequently for evidence of sooting. If sooting is present, discontinue use until the source of sooting is corrected.

CLEANING AND SERVICING THE ODS PILOT

Periodic cleaning and maintenance of the burner system is recommended to ensure that the burner system operates properly. Cleaning of the ODS pilot system is an important part of the maintenance program.

This ODS pilot cleaning procedure must be performed by a qualifi ed professional service technician familiar with the specifi c characteristics of the burner system.

1. Turn the burner system to the OFF position and allow it to cool. Inspect the ODS pilot area (see Fig. 22-1) for any visual contamination or debris (usually lint, hair, spider webs, or small insects). Lightly brush off all external surfaces while vacuuming loosened debris from the ODS pilot opening. Be careful not to brush any foreign material into the ODS pilot opening.

2. Clean out the air intake openings (see Fig. 22-1) by lightly brushing around the openings while vacuuming.

Note: It is very important that the air intake openings be kept clear of debris. Should the openings become blocked, the ODS pilot system will not operate properly.

3. Light the ODS pilot according to the relevant LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS page. Periodically verify the ODS pilot fl ame appears as shown in the CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE section.

4. If the ODS pilot fl ame does not burn as indicated in the instructions, extinguish the ODS pilot by turning the valve to the full OFF position. Using a compressed air duster, insert the fl exible nozzle through the air intake openings, ensuring that the nozzle is pointed toward the ODS pilot opening (see Fig. 22-1). Blow air through the intake openings to clear out any debris that may be in the system.

5. Relight the ODS pilot and inspect it to be sure it is burning as shown in the instructions. If not, extinguish the

ODS pilot and turn off the gas supply to the burner system. Using an adjustable or a 1 /

4

" wrench, disconnect the ODS pilot gas line (see Fig. 22-1) from the valve.

6. Insert the fl exible nozzle of the compressed air duster and blow air into the input end of the ODS pilot gas line to remove any blockages. Do not blow air directly into the ODS pilot opening. Blow air in the direction of the gas fl ow.

7. Reinstall the ODS pilot gas line and check for leaks.

8. Light the ODS pilot to make sure it is operating properly (see LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS).

9. If the ODS pilot still does not operate properly, the ODS pilot may need to be replaced with the same model as the one on the burner system.

22

OPERATING THE BURNER SYSTEM

Observe the fl ames. The fl ames should be blue at the base and a combination of blue/yellow at the body and tips. Flames should be 2" to 4" tall (see Fig. 23-1 ).

Every Real-Fyre burner system leaves the factory tested and quality checked to ensure that it has been manufactured to the strict specifi cations to which it was submitted and approved for certifi cation. This check includes an operational test to ensure both satisfactory combustion and operation.

Each installation site for this appliance presents its own unique combustion environment. Specifi c factors such as weather-tightness of the home, size of the

Fig. 23-1 room in which the burner system is installed, central heating, ceiling fans, altitude, drafts, pet hair, carpet lint, dryer lint, the size of the fi replace, paint or soot inside the fi replace, etc. all have an infl uence on the proper operation of this appliance and its ODS pilot system. A normally operating burner system will demonstrate the following characteristics:

• A lively, realistic fl ame. The fl ame will be blue / yellow.

• Clean-burning combustion that will produce no soot or smoke after normal break-in.

• Production of no odor, other than normal odors associated with the combustion of propane or natural gas.

• Production of water vapor. Water vapor helps to increase indoor humidity, which may be benefi cial during the dry heating season.

If you operate the burner system fueled by propane gas, operating characteristics may vary as the fuel in the tank approaches empty (less than 1 /

4

full). Sooting and other increases in combustion by-products will occur.

Turn off the burner system and refi ll the propane tank.

CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE

WARNING: NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE TO BE MADE TO THE ODS PILOT SYSTEM. TAMPERING WITH THIS

SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.

When installing the burner assembly, it is important to visually check the ODS pilot fl ame and the burner fl ames.

1. The ODS pilot fl ame must be present when the burner is operating. The fl ame should touch the top of the thermocouple tip (Fig. 23-2 and Fig. 23-4).

2. If the ODS pilot fl ame does not touch the top of the thermocouple tip, then the main burner will not function properly (see Fig. 23-3 and Fig. 23 for incorrect ODS pilot fl ame).

3. With the burner off and the ODS pilot fl ame off, and the assembly cool, check the burner assembly, air intake openings on the ODS pilot, and air shutter opening on the burner for any blockages that could affect the operation of the ODS pilot fl ame.
