INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE INTO THE FIREPLACE
1-
Place the FIRE ISLAND BURNER into the fireplace ( unit is
packaged as a match-throw, single burner assembly; valve, pilot,
and gas train must be assembled ). The unit should be centered
from both side to side, and front to back.
( SEE FIGURE 2, 3, 4, & 5 )
2-
Bend a 3/8” gas line, with two ( 2 ) 3/8” brass, female flare fittings
( included on some models ), to facilitate the gas connection,
between the valve assembly, and the gas stub.
BE CAREFUL! Gas lines are easily kinked if bent too sharply.
3-
Using an adjustable wrench, and turning in a clockwise direction,
attach a 1/2” Female Flare X 3/8” Male Flare Brass Reducer
Fitting ( included on some models ), to the gas stub.
4-
Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach one end of the gas line, to the brass reducer
fitting that you have just installed on the gas stub. ( One wrench
on the brass gas line fitting, and one wrench on the brass reducer
fitting )
5-
Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach the other end of the gas line to the brass fitting
on the valve assembly. ( One wrench on the gas line fitting, and
one wrench on the brass fitting on the valve assembly )
BE CAREFUL! Make sure all gas connections are snug, but DO NOT
over tighten!
6-
It is our recommendation that, at this point of the installation,
lighting the pilot, and test ignition should take place, before
attempting any installation of glass medium.
For Match Throw Units, this is not necessary; once you have
completed Step 7 & 8 below, you may proceed to “Final Set
Up” on page 9.
FOR UNITS WITH GAS CONTROL VALVES
, see “UNITS WITH
REMOTE SYSTEMS” section, on page 7 and “LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS WITH SAFETY PILOT” on page 11.
7-
CHECK FOR LEAKS! Apply soapy water to each connection and
watch for bubbles. If bubbles are seen, turn off the gas supply;
retighten the connections, and CHECK AGAIN! DO NOT use a
lighted match or other source of ignition to check for leaks.
Repeat this procedure until you are sure that there are no leaks in
the gas connections.
8-
When you are assured that there are no gas leaks present, you
may proceed to the “ FINAL SET UP “ section, on page 9.
