FOR VENTED APPLICATIONS:
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. See the chart
“ MINIMUM
FIR
EPLACE DIMENSIONS “ on page 3 & 4, for correct
venting. ( SEE FIGURE 9, page 7 )
NOTE: The State of Massachusetts requires that the chimney
flue damper, when used with decorative gas log sets, be
welded open or completely removed.
3-
Using two adjustable pipe wrenches ( one wrench on the gas
stub, and one wrench on the fitting ), remove the existing cap
or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in your fireplace, by
turning the wrench on the gas cap, in a counter-clockwise
direction.
4-
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.
NOTE: All gas connections ( except for brass to brass )
require Teflon tape or pipe dope.
5-
Place the appliance into the fireplace ( unit is packaged as a
single burner assembly; grate, valve/regulator assembly, and
burner ). The unit should be centered from both side to side,
and front to back. The unit is shipped, ready for rear gas
connection only. ( SEE FIGURE 10 & 11 )
6-
FOR UNVENTED APPLICATIONS:
You must secure the
appliance to the floor of the fireplace. This must be done to
prevent movement of the appliance during adjustment of
controls. Movement of the appliance may cause a gas leak,
improper positioning of gas logs, and/or improper combustion
and sooting. ( SEE FIGURE 12 )
NOTE: Special care is required if you are installing the
appliance into a sunken fireplace. The fireplace floor must be
raised, using non-combustible materials, to allow access to
the controls. This will also insure proper air flow to the
appliance.
A) After centering the appliance correctly, and using the
grate leg fasteners as a guide, mark the hole positions on the
fireplace / firebox floor. Drill two
( 2 ) 5/32” diameter holes,
approximately 1 ½” deep for masonry screws ( not included ),
or 1/8” deep holes for sheet metal screws ( not included )
( SEE FIGURE 12 )
B) Affix the appliance to the fireplace / firebox floor using the
appropriate screws.
FIGURE 12
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to prevent
any movement of the gas logs and controls during
operation.
7-
Bend a 3/8” gas line, with two ( 2 ) 3/8” brass, female flare
fittings ( not included ), to facilitate the gas connection,
between the valve/regulator assembly, and the gas stub.
BE CAREFUL! Gas lines are easily kinked if bent too sharply.
