GAS SUPPLY TESTING 

 

NOTE:

 This section is intended as guide 

for qualified technicians installing gas to 
this vent-free firebox. 

 

The appliance and it’s individual shut-
off valve must be disconnected from the 
gas supply piping system during any 
pressure testing of that system at test 
pressure in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa). 

 

The 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 (3.5kPa). 

 

HARD-WIRING FIREBOX 

Model FGPN can be hard-wired to the 
duplex outlet located inside the firebox 
bottom if desired. This allows the blower 
accessory to be plugged into the duplex 
outlet. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

ELECTRICAL 
INSTALLATION 

 

A model CBKUVPN blower system 
assembly is available for use with the 
FGPN vent-free firebox as an optional 
accessory. This blower is designed to be 
installed on the wall side of the FGPN 
firebox, when provisions for a 120 VAC 
supply connection are made at the end of 
the cabinet. Use of a blower system other 
than those manufactured by Fireplace 
Manufacturer Incorporation voids the 
warranty. 

 

Electrical connections are made within 
the receptacle with wires that are routed 
through the bushing provided (see Figure 
15). The receptacle may be relocated to 
either side, when necessary. However, 
the cover plate must be replaced over the 
unused access point. Be certain to 
properly ground the vent-free firebox 
using the green grounding wire (see 
Figure 17 on page 11).  

 

NOTE: A 120V-supply connection to the 
leads to the receptacle must be provided 
for use with the optional blower kit 
whether installed during or after initial 
firebox installation. You may not be able 
to install a supply connection after the 
installation is completed. Refer to 

Optional Blower Assembly Installation

 

on page 12 for specifics.    

          

 

 

 

 

 

OWNER’S 

MANUAL

 

WARNING: All gas

piping and connections must
be tested for leaks after the
installation is completed.
After ensuring that the
manual shut-off gas valve is
open, apply a soap and water
solution to all connections
and 

joints. If bubbles

appear, leaks can be detected
and corrected. DO NOT USE
OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK
TESTING AND DO NOT
OPERATE ANY
APPLIANCE IF A LEAK IS
DETECTED.  

CAUTION: Do not

connect vent-free heater
before pressure testing  gas
piping. Damage to gas valve
may result and an unsafe
condition may be caused. 

NOTICE: A qualified
electrician must connect
electrical wiring to duplex
outlet for built-in
installation. Follow all local
codes. In absence of local
codes follow The National
Electric Code ANS/NFPA
70.
