Framing and Finishing
NOTE: The valve box assembly must be installed in
the same room as the fireplace.
1. Choose the unit location.
2. The unit is shipped with four (4) nailing flanges
mounted to the sides near the front corners. (Fig. 5)
3. Frame the fireplace with a header across the top of
the standoff. (Fig. 6) It is very important to allow for
the finished wall face along with marble, tiles or any
other noncombustible face finish material desired
when setting the depth of the framing.
4. Attach the fireplace nailing flanges to the frame as
shown in Figure 5.
5. The gas components are located in the control
panel assembly attached to the right side of the
unit. Choose the desired location on the wall or
mantel for the valve box assembly. The conduit
length is 5’ (1524mm). (Fig. 7) The framing dimen-
sions for the box are 12

(311mm x 235mm x 143mm). When the framing for
the box is complete, remove the screws securing
the valve box to the outer casing. Carefully remove
the valve box and, without stressing the conduit,
slide the box into the framed opening. Replace the
screws removed from the side of the outer casing.

6. To secure the valve box assembly to the framing
members, open the box door, remove extension
knob(s). For units with two piece cover plates,
remove the front cover plate by removing the
screws holding the front plate to the second plate.
Disconnect the wires for the pilot indicator and
remove the second plate located at the top of the
box.
For units with a one piece cover plate, remove the
valve cover by removing the two (2) screws secur-
ing the valve cover to the box, hold the cover plate
with one hand and disconnect the wires to the
switch and pilot indicator (R models only). NOTE:
Do not allow the valve cover plate to hang from the
pilot indicator wires as this could damage the wires.
Secure the box to the framing through the two (2)
holes at the top and one (1) on each side using
sheet rock screws. (Fig. 8) After framing the box,
replace the wires, the valve cover, the extension
knob(s) in reverse order.
NOTE: The pilot indicator body is la/-, make
sure the positive wire on the pilot indicator goes to
ground and the negative goes to the plug between
the valve and the thermocouple.
