with the requirements of the provincial authorities having
jurisdiction and in accordance with the requirements of the
ANSI Z223.1 installation code.

7.2 Gas Line Installation
CAUTION: Installation of the gas line must only be done by
a qualified person in accordance with local building codes, if
any. If not, follow ANSI 223.1. Commonwealth of Massachusetts
installations must be done by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
NOTE: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of ½
psi (3.5 kPa). For test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi
(3.5 kPa), the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.
• A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved) ½
in. (13 mm) tee handle manual shut-off valve and flexible gas
connector are to be connected to the ½ in. (13 mm) control
valve inlet. If substituting for these components, please
consult local codes for compliance.
• If installing this insert into minimum opening dimensions, the
gas line may need to be run after placement due to space
limitations. See Section 3.2.1 Existing Fireplace Opening
Minimum Requirements on page 12.
• This fireplace is equipped with a ⅜” (10 mm) x 18” (457 mm)
long flexible gas connector and manual shut-off valve.
• Run gas line into fireplace. The gas line should be run to the
point of connection where the shut-off valve and flexible gas
line will connect.
• Do not run gas line in a manner that would obstruct fan
operation.
• For high altitude installations, consult the local gas distributor
or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods.
