• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
• A Carbon Monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fired appliances.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed
combustion product.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in absence of
local codes, the National Gas and Propane Installation Code
CSA B149.1 in Canada, or the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 in the United States. Suitable for mobile
home installation if installed in accordance with the current
standard CAN/CSA Z240MH Series, for gas equipped mobile
homes, in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54 in the United
States.
The fireplace 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 fireplace 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).
A 1/8” NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the fireplace insert.
The fireplace insert must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local
codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States. The blower power cord must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle.
The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
Always light the pilot whether for the first time or if the gas supply has ran out, with the glass door
opened or removed.
