GAS INSTALLATION
GENERAL
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion!
All gas handling and installation should be performed by qualified service technician or installer.
Gas build-up during line purge could ignite. Ensure adequate ventilation. Make sure there are no
ignition sources/sparks or open flames.
Do not change the gas valve setting! The fireplace gas valve has been preset at the factory.
Installing an external manual gas valve before connection to the fireplace is a must.
Make sure to check for gas leaks before lighting the fireplace for the first time. When checking for
leaks do not use open flame.
This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures more than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
•
Move the appliance into position and secure it to the wall using the back or side mount.
•
Install a manual gas valve before the connection to the fireplace appliance automatic valve.
•
Connect the gas line to the fireplace. The appliance is designed to accept a 1/2” (13mm) gas supply.
•
Connect the gas supply in accordance with local codes, CAN/CSA-B149.1 in Canada or to the current National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 in the United States.
•
Check for gas leaks using non-corrosive commercially available leak-check solution before operating the gas appliance.
•
Measure and document gas pressure here: Inlet _______ W.C. Burner (Manifold) _______ W.C. -- Make sure the
Min/Max inlet pressure match the table below.
•
Lighting the fireplace for the first time may take some time until the line is purged
Note: Do not place the gas valve or controls above the level of the burner.

WARNING
! Risk of Fire or Explosion! High pressure will damage valve. Low pressure could cause explosion.
Verify inlet pressures
. Verify minimum pressures when other household gas appliances are operating.
