INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE INTO THE
FIREPLACE
1. Place the Metro burner pan assembly into the fireplace (unit
is packaged as a match-throw, see-thru burner assembly.
The valve, pilot and gas train must be assembled.). The unit
should be centered from both side to side and front to back.
2. Bend a 3/8” gas line with two 3/8” brass female flare fittings
(included on some models) to facilitate the gas connection
between the burner and the gas stub.
CAUTION:
Gas lines are easily kinked if bent too sharply.
3. Using an adjustable wrench, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach a 1/2” female flare x 3/8” male flare brass
reducer fitting (included on some models) to the gas stub.
4. Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
directions, attach one end of the gas line to the brass re-
ducer fitting installed in the previous step (one wrench on the
brass gas line fitting, and one wrench on the brass reducer
fitting).
5. Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach the other end of the gas line to the brass
fitting on the burner (one wrench on the gas line fitting, and
one wrench on the brass fitting on the valve assembly).
CAUTION:
Make sure all gas connections are snug but DO
NOT over tighten!
