Note:
The gas line connection can be made of a 3/8 in. (12 mm) rigid tube or an approved flexible
connector. It is possible that other codes apply in your area. Please consult local authorities and the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.z223.1, NFPA54 in force. In Canada, consult the CAN/CGA-B149 (1 or
2).
Note:
It is strongly recommended to plan for a 12 in. minimum additional length of gas pipe inside the
fireplace (under the combustion chamber) to make
SmartCase
®
maintenance easier. This way, the
technician will not have to disconnect the gas supply to work on the
SmartCase
®
.
6.3. INSTALLATION CODE
Apply a light coat of joint sealing compound (metallic compound). Make attention to do not put excess
sealant. Excess sealant compound in pipes can lead to clogging the burner system.
We recommend installing a sediment trap in the supply line (figure 6.2). Install it where residues are not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap is designed to trap moisture and contaminants to prevent them from
reaching the gas burner control system.
6.4. GAS PRESSURE
• It is essential to use the type of gas specified on the nameplate of the unit. In case of discrepancy, STOP
EVERYTHING and contact your merchant to get a
SmartCase
®
that matches the type of gas you are using.
• To make installation easier, a 12 in. (30 cm) flexible duct equipped with a manual valve is supplied with
the appliance. Install the 3/8 in. (12 mm) supply line and fasten it to the shutoff valve.
• Once gas line installation is completed, purge gas lines and check that all connections as well as the gas
meter (or tank) connected to the fireplace are tight. Make sure there are no leaks (see section 6.6).
• To adjust flame height, turn the HI/LO control knob located on the automatic valve.
Natural gas (NG)
Propane (PG)
Ideal intake pressure
7" w.c. / 1.74 kPa
11" w.c. / 2.8 kPa
Min. Intake pressure
3.5" w.c. / .87 kPa
8" w.c. / 1.99 kPa
Max. Intake pressure
10.5" w.c. / 2.61 kPa
13" w.c./3.23 kPa
IMPORTANT
Install the main gas valve (stop valve) in an accessible location. The valve allows you to block the
fireplace’s gas intake. Check building codes specifications regarding the location of the manual gas
valve.
CAUTION
Use a propane gas-resistant joins sealant (metallic compound) to secure your gas lines.
