INSTALLATION 
TEST FOR FLUE 
SPILLAGE
A " spillage" test must be made before the 
installed unit is left with the customer. Follow 
the procedure below:
1)  Start all exhaust fans in the home and then 
close all external doors and windows in the 
house.
2)  Light the unit and set controls to maximum. 
Turn fan off.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator 
built into the gas control, and should be checked 
at the pressure test point. The pressure check 
should be carried out with the unit burning and the 
setting should be within the limits specifi ed.
GAS INSERT AERATION 
SYSTEM
The aeration adjustment rod is attached to the 
air shutter which is located just above the orifi ce 
bracket. The rod is used to adjust the aeration 
on the main burner without having to take the 
appliance apart. 
The burner aeration is factory set but may need 
adjusting due to either the local gas supply, air 
supply or altitude. 
 
Natural Gas:  1/8" (3.2mm) open
 Propane: 
3/16" 
(4.8mm) 
open
Note:    Any damage due to carboning result-
ing from improperly setting the aera-
tion controls is NOT covered under 
warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only 
be performed by an authorized FPI 
Installer at the time of installation or 
service.
with the screw hole in the top of the fi rebox. 
The screw is secured through the inside top 
of the fi rebox into the bottom of the spill tube. 
(If screw holes do not line up then draft hood 
is not positioned correctly.)
NOTE:   fi nal gas connection should be 
after unit is in place to avoid damage 
to line when pushing the unit into 
position.
VENTING

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE 
CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE 
SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID 
FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to a 4" diam-
eter type B-Vent or listed gas fuel type vent liner 
running the full length of the chimney. A minimum 
fl ue height of 12 feet is recommended. B-Vent 
must be supported by a vent support - supplied 
by vent manufacturer.  See chart on this page 
for minimum distances from roof.
TheFPI Insert incorporates its own internal 
draft hood, so no additional external draft hood 
is required. 
Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted 
and an adequate draft is present when the unit 
is in operation.  (See page 8 for spillage test.)
Before installing vent system ensure that the 
damper plate is open and secure to prevent 
the damper plate from falling down and crush-
ing the liner.
WARNING: Operation of this ap-
pliance when not connected to a 
properly installed and maintained 
venting system or tampering with 
the blocked vent shutoff system 
can result in carbon monoxide (CO) 
poisoning and possible death.
Combustion and Ventilation Air
WARNING:  This appliance needs 
fresh air for safe operation and must 
be installed with provisions for ad-
equate combustion and ventilation 
air available to the room in which it 
is to be operating.
 
Follow CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or ANSI 
Z223.1 (in the USA) requirements, and any 
local codes or regulations of the enforcing 
authority.
Air for combustion is drawn in through the front 
of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must 
be kept clear of any  obstructions.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
The unit is preset to give the correct gas input 
at the specifi ed manifold pressures shown on 
the label. The maximum gas manifold pressure 
is: 
 
Natural Gas  
3.8" w.c.
 Propane 
 11.0" 
w.c.
