INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas fireplace. The line must be
properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Upstream of the supply connection, the fitter shall
provide a manual shut-off valve.
PRECAUTIONS
• This appliance must be installed by a qualified gas installer and the installation conform to the
installation codes.
• Provide adequate clearances for proper operation and servicing of the appliance.
• This appliance must be properly connected to a venting system.
• This appliance must NOT be connected to a chimney flue serving a solid-fuel appliance.
• The installer must mechanically attach the marking label #0163 supplied with the gas fireplace insert to
the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.
• Cutting any sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is
prohibited.
• If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5 inch (37.5 mm)
or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like
manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has
been installed.”
CAUTION:
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
psig (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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0 in. w.c.
(3.0 kPa) for propane. 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.
