INSTALLING GAS pIpING TO
FIREpLACE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified
service person must connect
fireplace to gas supply. Follow
all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP
units, never connect fireplace
directly to the propane/LP supply.
This heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between the
fireplace and propane/LP supply.
WARNING: For natural
gas, never connect heater to
private (non-utility) gas wells.
This gas is commonly known
as wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you
have the items listed below.
•
external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas connec
-
tor (if allowed by local codes)
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al
-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff
valve from your retailer.
For propane/LP connection only, the installer
must supply an external regulator. The exter
-
nal regulator will reduce incoming gas pres
-
sure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure
to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do
not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace
regulator damage could occur. Install exter
-
nal regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure 30, page 22. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
