INSTALLATION cont.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line to the gas fireplace. The line must be
properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. This unit is equipped with a manual shutoff ball
valve (
Fig.27
). The outlet has a 1/2” female pipe thread.
THE APPLIANCE AND ITS INDIVIDUAL SHUTOFF 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 PSI (3.5 KPA). THE APPLIANCE MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE
GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM BY CLOSING ITS INDIVIDUAL MANUAL 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). FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE’S
GAS VALVE. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVER BY THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
• Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening
the set screw on supply pressure tap on the gas
valve with a small flat tip screw driver and placing a
test gauge on the tap.
• Maximum gas supply pressure should never
exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both
natural gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET
SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE PRESSURE.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line,
double check that the appliance you have purchased is
designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type
markings are located on the certification label and also
on the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and
checking of the gas connections must be provided. All
gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
