HEARTH KIT ASSEMBLY
AND INSTALLATION

Kit Assembly

1.

Unscrew burner inlet fitting from
burner manifold.

2.

Place burner manifold in pan with
threaded opening facing open knock-
out plug (see Figure 8). Make sure the
burner ports face downward.

3.

Using thread sealant (resistant to the
action of propane/LP gas) on larger
end of fitting, screw the burner inlet
fitting through hole and into burner
manifold. Tighten using a wrench. If
using propane/LP gas, see Propane/LP
Gas Conversion
, pages 10 and 11.

4.

If using optional GA9000 kit, go to Op-
tional GA9000 On/Off Safety Valve/Pi-
lot Kit
 section for installation instruc-
tions. If using optional GA9100 kit,
follow instructions included with kit for
installation and operation.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.

Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 7).

2.

Pressurize supply piping system by either
using compressed air or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter.

3.

Check all joints from gas meter to equip-
ment shutoff valve (see Figure 7). Apply
mixture of liquid soap and water to gas
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.

Correct all leaks at once.

Installation and Gas Connection

1.

Place the burner pan assembly in the
center of the fireplace floor. Make sure
the inlet end of the pan faces the gas
supply.

2.

Thread the gas supply fitting to the
fireplace gas supply pipe. Use thread
sealant.

3.

Install adapter fitting onto the burner
inlet fitting using thread sealant on
male threads of burner inlet fitting
(see Figure 9). Adjust to most conve-
nient position.

4.

Install the gas connector tube to the gas
supply fitting. Carefully shape tube to
attach to adapter fitting. Be careful not
to cause kinks in tube.

5.

Using the 1/4" x #8 provided, install
the cover over the inlet fitting.

OPTIONAL GA9000 ON/OFF
SAFETY VALVE/PILOT KIT
ASSEMBLY

For additional convenience and safety, or
for propane/LP conversion, an optional ON/
OFF safety valve/pilot kit is available. See
Accessories, page 19.

 WARNING: You must use a

ON/OFF safety valve/pilot kit for
propane/LP conversion.

Note:

 The control cover provided with the

GA9000 should be discarded and replaced
with the one provided with the log set.

Natural Gas Installation

1.

Thread the gas control valve onto the
burner inlet fitting (see Figure 10). Use
thread sealant on the male threads of
the burner inlet fitting. Hold the burner
inlet fitting with a wrench to prevent
overtightening the connection to the
burner. Make sure the control rod is
facing the front (see Figure 10).
