INSTALLATION
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING:
A qualified service
technician must connect appliance
to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (Nation
-
al Pipe Thread) inlet connec-
tion to the pressure regulator.
WARNING: For natural gas,
Never connect appliance to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This gas is
commonly known as wellhead gas.
CAUTION: For propane gas,
never connect appliance directly
to the gas supply. This appliance
requires an external regulator (not
supplied). Install the external regu-
lator between the appliance and
propane supply. Gas supplier pro-
vides external regulator for natural
gas. The installer provides the
external regulator for propane gas.
CAUTION: For propane gas,
never connect appliance directly
to the gas supply. This appliance
requires an external regulator (not
supplied). Install the external regu-
lator between the appliance and
propane supply. Gas supplier pro-
vides external regulator for natural
gas. The installer provides the
external regulator for propane gas.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Internally
tinned copper tubing may be used
in certain areas. Check your local
codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or
greater to allow proper gas volume
to fireplace. If pipe is too small,
undue loss of pressure will occur
CAUTION: For natural gas,
check your gas line pressure be
-
fore connecting appliance to gas
line. Gas line pressure must be no
greater than 10.5" WC for natural
gas and 13" WC for propane. If gas
line pressure is higher, appliance
regulator damage could occur.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten
gas connections.
CAUTION: use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to gas
(Propane or Natural Gas).
For appliances for use with a fixed
fuel piping system and equipped
with an appliance gas pressure
regulator, 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
psi (3.5 kPA).
The appliance 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 psi (3.5 kPa).
Before installing appliance, make sure you
have the items listed below:
•
external regulator for propane unit only
(supplied by installer)
•
piping (check local codes)
•
sealant (resistant to natural gas and
propane gas)
•
equipment shutoff valve*
•
test gauge connection*
•
sediment trap
•
tee joint
•
pipe wrench
•
flexible gas hose (check local codes)
* A CSA designed-certified equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al
-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design certified equipment
shutoff valve for your dealer.
