The recommended order of installation is as follows:
1-Familiarize yourself with this manual.
2-Check the minimum install dimensions and vent installation.
3-Check your local install codes.
4-Check you have the parts and components necessary to complete the installation.
5-Check the gas and electrical supplies are ready.
6-Prepare opening (clean chase, level base etc.)
7-Install Venting.
8-Install base unit and connect vent.
9-Connect gas and electrical supplies.
10-Install operational components and prepared for first test fire.
11-Check to verify adequate accessibility clearance for service & proper operation.
12-Check operation of unit .
13-Take time to explain operation to customer, (most call backs are caused because the customer
does not understand the operation of the unit.)
Existing Gas Supply
-Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked.
-Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no leaks in the system.
-Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have
purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification
label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
-Check the gas pressure immediately upstream to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet
pressure for the appliance. Check your pipe sizing to insure sufficient volume will be supplied to the
appliance
.
Gas Supply Installation
-Provide adequate clearance for the proper installation and checking of the gas connection.
-Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas fireplace. The line must be
properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Upstream of the appliance supply connection,
the fitter shall provide an easily accessible manual shut-off valve.
-The gas supply pipe should enter the appliance case through the opening at the right side. The supply
pope should be connected to the appliance gas inlet pipe situated at the rightside of the control unit. Supply
line connection to the inlet pipe is 3/8 NPT.
-Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing if acceptable - check local codes.
Note that in the USA copper tubing must be internally tinned for protection against sulfur
compounds.
-Unions in gas should be of ground joint type. Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas
constituents including LP gas. Sealant should be applied lightly to male threads to ensure excess sealant
Planning
Pressure testing the supply line for leaks
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply pipping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do
so will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
When testing for leaks
-Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
-Open the manual shut-off valve.
-Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak.
-Correct any leak detected immediately.
-Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
The pressure test tapping locations are built-in, non-adjustable regulator that controls the burner manifold
pressure. The correct pressure range is shown in the table in the specification section of this manual. The
pressure check should be made with the burner lit.
