5.1 Gas Conversion
ATTENTION: The conversion shall be carried out in accordance with the
requirements of the provincial authorities having jurisdiction and in
accordance with the requirements of the ANSI Z223.1 installation code.
This fireplace is manufactured for use with natural gas. Follow the
instructions included with the conversion kit if converting to propane.
5.2 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” (13mm) tee handle manual shut-off valve and flexible gas
connector are to be connected to the ½” (13mm) control valve
inlet. If substituting for these components, please consult local
codes for compliance.
•
This fireplace is equipped with a 3/8” (10mm) x 18” (457mm) long
flexible gas connector and manual shut-off valve.
•
Run gas line into fireplace into the access hole(s) provided
on either side of this fireplace. See
on page 9 for gas line access. 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 optional fan
operation.
•
For high altitude installations, consult the local gas distributor or
the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods.
