The firebox is designed to accept a 3/8-inch gas line for an approved
vent-free gas logset. Have the line installed by a qualified service
person in accordance with all building codes. Consult local building
codes to properly size the gas supply line leading to the 3/8-inch
hook-up at the unit. The state of Massachusetts requires that a
flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Gas access holes are provided on both sides of the firebox.
See Figure 11
.
When installing optional ceramic fiber side panels into firebox,
lay panel on a flat surface. Remove the gas line knockout (round
depression) in the appropriate side panel using a drill or utility knife.
Check gas type. Use only the gas type indicated on the gas log
set rating plate. If the gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas
supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model.
Always use an external regulator for all propane fireboxes to reduce
the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14 inch w.c. This is in
addition to the regulator fitted to the log set.
WARNING:
CONNECTION DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED
PROPANE TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION.
Install only a ANSI Z21.11.2 vent-free burner and log set into this
firebox.
