Verifying Input Rate of Converted Fireplace
The input of the fireplace must be checked as follows:
1. Turn off all other gas appliances. Clock the gas meter and
determine the number of seconds required to consume one
cubic foot of gas.
2. 3600 ÷ time (in seconds) = cu. Ft. per hour.
3. Then cu. Ft. per hour x heating value of gas = input rate
(Btuh). On installation without gas meters, check manifold
for proper pressure.
If fireplace is not installed or warranty card has not been returned
to Empire Comfort System’s, Inc., check off type of gas converted
to on card. Also, indicate conversion by adding “Conv.” behind
type of gas.
