GAS SUPPLY TESTING
Note:
This section is intended as a guide for qualified technicians
installing gas to this vent-free firebox.
CAUTION: Do not connect vent-free appliance be-
fore pressure testing gas piping. Damage to gas valve
may result and an unsafe condition may be caused.
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 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).
HARD-WIRING FIREBOX
This model only can be hard-wired to the duplex outlet located inside
the firebox bottom if desired. This allows the blower accessory to be
plugged into the duplex outlet.
NOTICE: A qualified electrician must connect electrical
wiring to duplex outlet for built-in installation. Follow
all local codes. In absence of local codes follow The
National Electric Code ANS/NFPA 70.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
A blower system assembly is available for use with the vent-free fire-
box as an optional accessory. This blower is designed to be installed
on either side of the firebox, when provisions for a 120 VAC supply
connection are made at either end of the cabinet. Use of a blower
system other than those manufactured by IHP voids the warranty.
Electrical connections are made within the receptacle with wires that
are routed through the bushing provided (see Figure 15). The recep-
tacle may be relocated to either side, when necessary. However, the
cover plate must be replaced over the unused access point. Be certain
to properly ground the vent-free firebox using the green grounding
wire (see Figure 17 on page 13).
Note:
A 120V supply connection to the leads to the receptacle must
be provided for use with the optional blower kit whether installed dur-
ing or after initial firebox installation. You may not be able to install
a supply connection after the final installation is completed. Refer to
Optional Blower Assembly Installation for specifics.

OPTIONAL BLOWER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
Proper installation of the blower system is required to insure that the
maximum discharge of air can be delivered through the louvers on
each side of the fireplace.
Note:
You may perform this installation from either side of the fire-
place within either room. The lower door panels are removable from
both sides of the firebox for better access.
1. Remove blower assembly from packaging and inspect fan and
wiring for damage. If any wiring is loose or damaged, return as-
sembly for exchange to your dealer or distributor.
2. Remove bottom louver by pulling both spring latches (located in
each end of louver) toward center of appliance at the same time
until disengaged from locating holes in firebox (see Figure 16).
3. Locate 2 strips of hook and loop mounting strips on one side of
base of lower compartment. Align mounting strips on blower with
mounting strips on base of firebox.
4. Install blower housing with exhaust outlet ports directed upwards
along inner side wall of lower compartment. The blower outlets
must be installed flush to the outer cabinet for air to flow properly.
