Figure 2 - Technical Information Charts

InsTallaTIon

Continued

The  charts  in  Figure  2  indicate  technical 
information regarding the installation of your 
gas log set. Please make sure that all of the 
specifications  shown  are  applicable  before 
installation is attempted.
The fireplace must include a working flue and 
venting system with the minimum openings 
shown in the Figure 2.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use  only  natural  gas.  If  your  gas  supply  is 
not natural gas, you must convert the appli

-

ance to propane/LP. Follow the instructions 
on page 8. 
If the fireplace does not have a gas supply 
shutoff valve, one must be installed.

VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR 
INSTALLATION

The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be 
drafting properly. To check the vent for proper 
drafting: Light a tightly rolled newspaper on 

one end and place it at the inside front edge 

of the fireplace. Observe the smoke and be 
sure  the  vent  is  properly  drawing  it  up  the 
chimney. If the smoke spills out into the room, 
extinguish the flame and remove any obstruc

-

tion until proper venting is achieved.

The chimney flue damper must be fixed open 
to provide a minimum of 81 sq. in. of free air 
opening  during  operation  of  this  log  set. A 
multipurpose damper clamp is provided to fix 
the damper in position.
The  minimum  flue  sizes  shown  in  Figure  2 
are based on a 6' chimney height using round 
pipe. Your minimum flue size will vary based 
on input rate and chimney height. Refer to the 

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 
54, Section 6.6
