FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
A listed manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance.
Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point should be installed
upstream of the appliance.
Figure 39
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an
accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off
the gas to the fireplace.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess
sealant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in
Figure 39
. Locate sediment
trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system.
Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap collects moisture and
contaminants and keeps them from going into the burner system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not
installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.
Natural Gas
From Gas Meter
(4.5" w.c. to 10.5" w.c. Pressure)
Propane/LP
From External Regulator
(11" w.c. to 13" w.c. Pressure)
NOTE : The gas line connection may be made using 1/2" rigid tubing or an approved flex connector.
Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult your local authorities
and the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In Canada CSA-B149 (1 or
2) Installation Code.
