A shut-off valve must be installed to allow the appliance
to be serviced.
• Burner assembly with pilot safety control comes com-
pletely assembled from the factory.
• Connect a 3/8" N.P.T. line to the factory-installed nipple
and coupling on the inlet of the control valve through
hole provided in right side of the outer casing.
• Connections should be made so that the assembly
can be removed at a later date for servicing.
• 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 (3.5kPa).
• The 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 pres-
sures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.4kPa).
IMPORTANT:
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame
for leak testing.
WARNING:
When purging the gas line, the glass
front must be removed.

GAS CONNECTION
•
Provide a 1/8 inch N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of
the gas supply connection to the appliance.
WARNING: The Rating Plate indicates the type of gas to
be used in your unit. Do not use a different gas.
(For units equipped with gas line knock-outs. These units
have a circular knock-out in the side refractory brick).
For the installation of the gas line check local codes and
employ a qualified installer. The fireplace has provisions
for installation of an approved vented gas fireplace installed
in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
1. For the gas line conduit installation you require one,
19mm (3/4”) nominal diameter nipple, 152mm (6”) long
and two, 25mm (1”) diameter electric conduit locknuts to
fit the pipe.
2. (3620 fireplace only) Remove the side refractory by
first removing the hearth front, and the three screws se-
curing the fireplace dome shield. Then wedge the dome
shield clear of the side refractory panel. Remove the
wedge and replace the screws and hearth front when the
gas line installation is complete.
-Knock out the hole in the refractory (lower centre) using
a hammer and chisel. There are also two sheet metal
knockouts in the firebox lining and outer casing. Remove
them.
3. Pass the pipe through both sheet metal holes and
fasten using the 1” diameter nuts. The pipe should be
flush with the back of the refractory. Re-install the refrac-
tory.
4. Have a qualified installer install the GAS LINE.
GAS LINE CONDUIT INSTALLATION FOR
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s)
provided, an access hole of 1 inch (25mm) or less may
be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the fire-
box in a proper workmanship-like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation
after the gas supply line has been installed.
