INSTALLATION
Tools Needed
2 Adjustable Wrench (at least one of which has a range of 3/4”
for gas fittings)
2 Adjustable Pipe Wrenches
1 3/8” Nut Driver or Socket (for damper clamp)
1. Remove all contents from the burner shipping container (Box
One).
2. Check the contents of the shipping container against the
shipping and packing list or the parts list in this manual.
Report any missing or damaged parts to your retailer.
3. Remove any and all protective wrapping from the appliance.
4. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM.
5. Place the fireplace damper in the fully open position and
install the damper clamp over the lip of the damper
(the
damper must be in a fully open position any time that
this appliance is in operation)
. Using a 3/8” nut driver
or socket and turning in a clockwise direction, tighten the
damper clamp bolt until the clamp is secure. The damper
clamp must be in place to maintain the minimum permanent
vent opening.
Notice: The State of Massachusetts requires that the
chimney flue damper, when used with decorative gas log
sets, be welded open or completely removed.
6. Using two adjustable pipe wrenches (one wrench on the gas
stub, and one wrench on the fitting), remove the existing cap
from the gas stub in the fireplace by turning the wrench on
the gas cap in a counterclockwise direction.
7. Clean the pipe threads on the gas stub using either a wire
brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the
steel fittings before making any connection.
Notice: Apply the appropriate compound to the steel fittings
before making any connections. Compounds used on
threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action
of liquefied petroleum gases.
The gas burner must be secured to the fireplace floor. If
not, the entire unit may move when you adjust the controls.
Movement of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which
leads to sooting and improper burning. Grate movement
could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a
sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor to allow
access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air flow
and guard against sooting. Raise the fireplace floor using
noncombustible materials.
1. Place the gas log unit in the fireplace or firebox. Make
certain the front feet of the grate sit inside the front edge of
the fireplace or firebox.
2. An anchor hole is provided in the two bottom side members
of the grate frame. After centering the grate correctly, mark
the hole positions on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill two (2)
5/32" diameter holes approximately 1-1/2" deep for masonry
screws or 1/8" hole for sheet metal screws.
3. Anchor the grate to the fireplace/firebox floor using the
screws provided. Refer to Figure 6.
Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any
movement of the gas logs and controls during operation.
