D. GAS LINE APPLICATIONS
The FireRock fireplace may be drilled through with an ordinary masonry drill bit to accommodate a natural gas connection.
This natural gas connection may be used to 1) incorporate an automatic shut-off device and/or 2) comply with the Standard for
Decorative gas appliances for installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. The decorative gas appliance should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.
E. LOG LIGHTER
A log lighter can be used with your FireRock fireplace as either a flush mount (installed before the firebrick) or top mount.
FireRock recommends the log lighter be installed by a professional plumber. See manufacturer’s instructions for directions on how
to install.
HINTS
1. If this is your first FireRock installation, it would only take a few extra minutes to “dry stack” (erect without mortar) your
firebox to gain a better understanding of how the components go together. Then disassemble and erect using FireRock
Adhesive Mortar.
2. Use a level to ensure all components are level by course and plumb as you erect your fireplace and chimney.
3. Ensure your base plate is level and at a proper elevation so the finished hearth height (including firebrick lining) is correct
in relationship to your finished floor height.
4. Realize that this is at minimum a two-man job. Some of these components are too heavy for one person to lift.
5. Always install in accordance with local codes.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Only vented gas logs that are listed by ANSI Z21.60 can be used in this fireplace. This fireplace has not been tested with an
unvented gas log set. To reduce the risk of fire or injury, do not install an unvented gas log set into this fireplace.
