VERTICAL (THRU THE ROOF) INSTALLATION
NOTE: The site fabricated chase must be a minimum of 14.5” (368mm) tall, additional height may be
required to prevent obstruction of the exhaust outlet by snow accumulation.
NOTE: Orientate the power vent so the exhaust outlet is facing away from the home, roof, or any
potential obstructions. The chase may require additional height to avoid obstructions or nearby
features.
NOTE: when fabricating the chase, be sure that combustibles and electrical wiring are a minimum of
1.5” (38mm) from the vent pipe at all times.
1. The inside dimensions of the site fabricated
chase should be 12.9” (328mm) long by 11.9”
(302mm) wide. The exhaust outlet is on the
12.9” (328mm) long side of the chase.

chase should be 18.9” (480mm) long by
(455mm) wide. The exhaust outlet is on the
18.9” (480mm) long side of the chase.
3. The vent pipe should be installed so that it
sits 6” (152mm) below the top surface of the
site fabricated chase. This will ensure that
the power vent termination engages by at
least 1.5” (38mm).
4. When running SCPV-TWH-XX - SelfCalibrating Power Vent termination wire
harness through the chase to meet the
termination, be sure the harness is a
minimum of 1.5” (38mm) from the vent pipe

WARRANTY INFORMATION
THE WARRANTY
SÓLAS, LLC, a division of Progressive Manufacturing, Inc. (“SÓLAS”), Limited Lifetime
Warranty warrants your SÓLAS brand gas fireplace (“Product”) to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. The Product body and
firebox carry the Limited Lifetime Warranty on workmanship defects causing loss of
structural integrity. Ceramic glass carries the Limited Lifetime Warranty against
thermal breakage only. After installation, if covered components manufactured by
SÓLAS are found to be defective in material or workmanship during the Limited
Lifetime Warranty period and while the Product remains at the site of the original
installation, SÓLAS will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. If
repair or replacement is not commercially practical, SÓLAS will, at its option, refund
the purchase price or wholesale price of the SÓLAS product, whichever is applicable.
SÓLAS will also pay their prevailing labor rates, as determined in its sole discretion,
incurred in repairing or replacing such components during the warranty period.
THERE ARE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS to this Limited Lifetime Warranty as
described herein.

later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from SÓLAS, regardless
of the installation date.

misuse, or unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product affecting its stability or
performance. The Product must be subjected to normal use. The product is designed
to burn either natural or propane gas only. Burning conventional fuels such as wood,

Damage to stainless steel, gold, nickel or porcelain enameled surfaces caused by fingerprints, scratches, melted
items, or other external sources left on these surfaces from the use of cleaners is not covered in this warranty.
SÓLAS is not responsible for inadequate fireplace system draft caused by air conditioning and heating systems,
mechanical ventilation systems, or general construction conditions which may generate negative pressure in the
room in which the appliance is installed. Additionally, SÓLAS assumes no responsibility for drafting conditions
caused by venting configurations, adjoining trees or buildings, adverse wind conditions or unusual
environmental factors and conditions that affect the operation of the unit.
