Gathering Tools and Materials

Assemble the required tools and materials before starting. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient installation process.

Tools:

• A wrench (1/2" or 13mm)
• A level
• A tape measure
• A staple gun (for optional wall mounting)

Materials:

• Duluth Forge ventless gas fireplace insert
• Gas line and valves (if not pre-plumbed)
• Appropriate building materials (stud, wood, drywall, etc.)

Measuring and Preparing the Installation Area

Measure the installation area to ensure the fireplace insert fits correctly. Use a level to ensure the surface is flat and even.

If mounting on a wooden stud wall, measure 16" on center. For masonry surfaces, consult with a professional to ensure proper anchoring.

Gas Line Connection

Connect the gas line and valves according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all connections are tight and checked for leaks using a soap and water solution.

If the home is not pre-plumbed, hire a licensed plumber to complete this step.

Installing the Fireplace Insert

Now that your preparatory work is complete, it's time to install the fireplace insert.

If wall mounting, secure the fireplace's L-brackets to the studs using the provided screws and a drill. Ensure the brackets are level and evenly spaced.

Hanging the Fireplace Insert

Lift the fireplace insert into place, sliding it onto the L-brackets. Secure it using the provided hardware. Ensure it is level and properly seated.

If mounting on a masonry surface, secure the insert to the wall using appropriate anchors and hardware, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Finishing Touches

Frame around the fireplace using appropriate building materials. This will hide the L-brackets and provide a clean, finished look.

At this point, you should have a fully functional, beautifully designed Duluth Forge ventless gas fireplace. Enjoy the warm, inviting glow it brings to your space.

Regularly maintain your fireplace, cleaning the glass and checking for signs of wear or damage to ensure its longevity and performance. Safety first - always turn off the gas supply before performing any maintenance. Now, sit back, relax, and bask in the warmth of your newly installed fireplace.
