INSTALLING GAS LINE 

 

 

IMPORTANT:

 See 

Connecting to Gas 

Supply

 in your log set owner’s manual 

for details on gas hookup. 

 

Figure 11 shows the typical installation 
for the gas line. When you have 
determined how the gas line will run, 
locate the recessed knockout in the 
firebrick floor (see Figure 12). Firmly 
tap the center of the knockout with a 
chisel until it is released. Carefully chisel 
the rough edges of the hole you have 
made to smooth the edges. This hole will 
line up with the hole in the metal floor. 

 

 

 
A manual shut-off valve, AGA certified 
and complying with 

the National Fuel 

Gas 

code, ANSZ223.1-lastest edition, 

must be included within (6’) six feet of 
the vent free firebox gas supply system. 
It may be convenient to install the gas 
shuttoff outside the vent-free firebox 
enclosure where it can be accessed with 
a key through a wall as shown in Figure 
13. Depending on the type of 
installation, some local codes may 
require you  to install two (2) manual 
shut-off valves independently accessible 
from both rooms. Check your local 
codes for applicable installation 
requirements. 

 
 

 

 

 
A 36” long ½” NPT SCHD 40 flexible 
gas connector line complying with the 
National Fuel Gas code ANS Z223.1-
lastest edition, may run from the 
regulator to the incoming ½” NPT black 
iron gas line. You may also route the 
eincoming  ½ NPT black iron  gas line 
directly to the appliance regulator. 

 

Remove the gas line cover plate  from 
the vent-free firebox’s outer surround 
and route the gas line into the gear of the 
firebox (see Figure 11). 

 

If a sediment trap is not incorporated as a 
part of the gas utilization equipment, one 
shall be installed as close to the inlet of 
the equipment as practical at the time of 
installation, as per ANS Z223.11-latest 
edition. See Figure 14, page 10. 

 

Prepare incoming black iron gas line 
with Teflon tape or pipe joint compound 
(check with the local codes as to the use 
of Teflon tape). Compounds used on 
threaded joints of gas piping shall be 
resistant to the action of Propane/LP and 
should be applied lightly to ensure 
excess sealant does not enter the gas line. 

 

Complete your gas installation by 
connecting the incoming gas line to the 
appliance regulator. Secure all joints 
tightly with wench but do not over-
tighten. If flexible gas line is used, take 
care not to kink the connector.  
 

UNVENTED (VENT-FREE) FIREBOX

 

NOTICE: A qualified
service person must
connect heater to gas
supply. Follow all local
codes. 

CAUTION: Do not use

excessive force to remove
the knockout. Too much
force may damage the
firebrick concrete insert.
