Installation
Section 5:
Installing the Gas line
Installation
Note: After gas line is connected, each appliance connection , valve and valve
train must be checked while under normal operating pressure with
either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to locate any source
of leak. Tighten any areas where bubbling appears or leak is detected
until bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected.
DO NOT
use a flame of any kind to test for leaks.
WARNING!
When pressure testing the fireplace, gas line, and input system follow the
appropriate local codes or your area. DO NOT connect the fireplace to pres-
sures in excess of 1/2lb. This will damage the gas control valve.


The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to the appropriate
pressure but should be verified.
 To check pressures, control valves have a provision to remove a 1/8” N.PT. plug
to be fitted with a hose barb.

European Home requires a service shut off valve be located in an accessible
location to isolate the gas supply.
 Only install gas shut-off valves approved for use by the state, province, or
other governing body in which the fireplace is being installed.
Section 5-3:
GAS CONNECTION

See Figure 22 below for location of gas line access.
 Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless allowable
within local regulations.

Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2"or 3/8" gas inlet port.
 Purge all air out of gas line.

Check appliance connection, valve and valve train under normal operating
pressure with a commercially available leak check solution.

DO NOT USE A FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
Section 5-1:
FUEL CONVERSION
 Verify that your fireplace is compatible with your available gas type.
 If gas type is not compatible, contact your local European Home representative
to purchase a conversion kit.

Conversion kits must be installed by a qualified service technician.
Section 5-2:
GAS PRESSURE
 Optimum appliance performance requires proper input pressures.

Gas line sizing requirements will be determined in ANSI Z221.3 National
Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/CGA B149 in Canada.

Pressure requirements are:
Gas Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum inlet pressure 5.5in. w.c. 11in. w.c.
Manifold pressure 3.5in. w.c. 10in. w.c.
