ORIFICE SIZE
Flare Fireplace appliances are tested and approved for installations at elevations of 0 – 4500 feet (0 – 1372 meters) above sea
level using the standard burner orifice sizes. At the time of installation, it must be determined if the appliance needs to be de-
rated. Contact your local gas supplier for deration requirements for your area.
De-rated installation consideration can start at 2000 Ft above sea level.
At higher elevations, the amount of BTU fuel value delivered must be reduced by either using gas that has been de-rated by
the gas company or by changing the burner orifice to a smaller size as regulated by the local authorities having jurisdiction and
by the (USA) National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or in Canada, the CAN/CSA-B149.1 code
– latest
edition.
GAS VALVE ACCESS DOOR
The Flare Fireplace gas valve and control system is on an “ u mbilical cord” that can be stretched up to 50” from the middle of
the fireplace and be put next to the access door location.
Do not place the gas valve or controls above the level of the burner. If the fireplace is to sit low on the floor, the controls
must be placed outside the non-combustible zone or insulated from the heat from the fireplace.
The access door can be placed on any side of the fireplace, below the non-combustible line.
The use of a 10”x10” access door is highly recommended. If no access door is installed, it is possible to access the gas valve
from inside the fireplace by removing the glass.
The access door can also be used as a lower air intake for a double glass installation if it is perforated, and the opening
requirements are maintained.
The access door can be concealed in many ways such as HVAC vent cover, removable tile connected with Velcro straps and
more.
