INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
These instructions must be used as a supplement to the instructions supplied with the gas log set. Follow the gas log
instructions supplied by the manufacturer on the placement of the burner pan, log basket grate, burner media (sand or
vermiculite), ember material and the log placement. Please follow these instructions on the connection of the inlet line to
the gas valve and to the burner pan assembly. If this fireplace installation has glass doors, only operate the fireplace with
glass doors in the fully open position.
This electronic safety pilot system contains a valve, pilot assembly, module and connector that are certified by CSA under
file report number 224930.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION: VALVE KIT WITH PRE-INSTALLED LOG SET
1.
Make sure gas is completely turned
OFF
to the gas log set. Make sure you have a certified and approved shut-off
within 6-feet of the fireplace, or per the local code requirements.
2.
Remove all existing logs and basket grate. Set them aside.
3.
Disconnect the existing manual valve from the inlet gas supply.
4.
Remove existing pilot assembly (if applicable), manual valve and fittings from the burner pan.
5.
Locate a position on the back of the burner pan about 4-inches from the right or left side of the burner pan to
mount the pilot assembly (See figure 3).
6.
Mount pilot assembly to burner pan as shown in figure 3.
NOTE
: This pilot bracket clips on the burner pan and
holds the pilot at a 45º position onto the pan, an attachment screw is recommended. Bend pilot tubing from
pilot assembly until the bottom of the pilot bracket is resting against the pan. This will hold the pilot at the 45º
position. (Use caution when bending pilot tubing not to kink the tubing and when locating the igniter and flame
sensor wires not to locate the wires and the tubing in or over the burner pan.)
7.
Locate the Valve Box on the left front corner and the Switch Box in the right front corner of the firebox as far
forward as possible (See figure 4).
CAUTION:
When installing logs on basket grate ensure no logs lay across and touch the valve or switch boxes.
Some logs, depending on material, can transfer heat through the metal boxes and cause damage to internal
components.
DESCRIPTION:
This gas log safety pilot is divided into two sections, the gas Valve Box and the Switch Box. Both boxes
are pre-assembled and ready to install. With each box on separate sides of the gas log burner pan it enables the log set
to be centered inside the fireplace. The Valve Box contains gas valve and pilot assembly and the Switch Box contains an
electronic module and battery pack. Both boxes are joined together with a hi-temperature wiring harness (See figure 2).
