Installation and Assembly
Natural Gas
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psig (.5kPa).
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than /2
psig (.5kPa).
Requirements
Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas
supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the
fireplace is manufactured for.
Attempting to convert a Cal Flame fireplace from
one fuel to another may result in serious injury and
void the warranty coverage .
Never connect the fireplace to an unregulated gas
supply.
The installation of this appliance must conform with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the
national fuel gas code, ANSI Z22.a-998. Installation
in Canada must be in accordance with the standard CAN/
CGA-B49.2, Propane Installation Code. Natural gas
connection must be performed by a licensed contractor
or local gas company representative.
Ensure that the service supplying the fireplace is fitted
with a conveniently positioned shut off valve with easy
access.
Your Cal Flame fireplace for use with natural gas comes
equipped with its own regulator which MUST NOT be
removed. If this regulator needs to be replaced, use only
the type specified by Cal Flame for this appliance.
Remove the rear panel to gain access to the regulator
and gas connection point.
Connect a suitable flex connector to the regulator.
Installation
Connect the incoming gas supply line to the on/off gas
valve of the appliance. Make certain ALL gas connections
are tight, turn the on/off valve at the unit to the ‘on’
position and use soap and water to test for leaks. Gas
will be released at the burner for this duration. DO NOT
USE AN OPEN FLAME.
An authorized gas appliance
installer must provide this installation service.
High Elevation Installation
Your fireplace is approved for elevations up to 4500 feet
in the US and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above
4500 feet in the US, it may be necessary to decrease
the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to
a smaller size. Reduce the input by 4% for each ,000
feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas
has been reduced, in which case this general rule will
not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with
your local gas utility.
When installing this unit at an elevation above 4,500 feet
in Canada check with your local authorities. Consult the
local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper
orifice for your location.
