INSTALLING FIREBOX USING OPTIONAL PRE-BUILT MANTEL CABINETS
This firebox may be installed using a cabinet mantel accessory against a wall in your home. The firebox and cabinet mantel
can be installed directly on the floor.

Assemble cabinet mantel. Assembly
instructions are included with each accessory.
2. If using an optional Blower, install a properly
grounded, 120 volt three-prong electrical
outlet

Installing optional Fan Kit,
page
35, for complete installation. If possible,
locate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover it
when installed (see Figure 9).

, page 20. You may have
to cut an access hole in the floor or wall to
run gas line to firebox. Make sure to locate

when installed (see Figure 9).

location. Make sure mantel is flush against
wall.

mantel, flooring, etc. when installing.

Any changes to this heater or its controls can be
dangerous.
CAUTION
Use new black pipe only. Internally tinned copper
tubing can be used in some areas when permitted by
local codes. Only use pipe of 1/2” or greater diameter
to allow full gas volume to heater. Excessive pressure
loss will occur if the pipe is too small.
A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged

pressure tap pointer must be installed upstream of the
heater.
A sediment trap must be installed upstream of the heater
to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing
through the pipe to the heater controls and burners. Failure
to do so could prevent the heater from operating
reliably.
