6. GAS INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT 

6.1.  CHECKING GAS TYPE 

Use the type of gas suitable for the fireplace you are installing. If you use a type of gas not suitable for the 
fireplace refer to a merchant who can recommend a fireplace suited to the type of gas you are using or 
provide you with a conversion kit. Bring gas pipes to where the fireplace will be installed. 

 

6.2.  INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR GAS LINES 

Make sure you have on hand the following items before installing the fireplace: 

•  An external regulator. The installer must supply an external regulator for propane/LPG connection. 

The purpose of the regulator is to reduce incoming gas pressure (Table 6.4). If intake pressure is 

not adjusted properly, the 

SmartCase

®

’ automatic valve could be damaged (see section 6.4). 

•  A pipeline network (check local codes). 

•  CSA approved gas lines sealant. 

•  A manual valve has to be placed inside the lower compartment of the appliance (before 

SmartCase

®

(figure 6.2). 

•  A pressure gauge connection. 

•  A sediment trap (

recommended

) (figure 6.2). 

•  An approved flexible gas line equipped with a connector (figure 6.2). 

  CAUTION 

Never connect the gas line directly to the fireplace operating on propane (LPG) or natural gas (NG). 
This system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator directly on the 
cylinder and adjust the pressure according to the table featured in section 6.4. 

  WARNING 

Connection of gas lines to the appliance must be performed by a certified installer. Observe all local 
installation codes.
