for example: in Massachusetts State:

• The fi replace damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a fi replace insert or gas log.
• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fi red appliances
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36".
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion product.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of 
Massachusetts.

In absence of local codes, install to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Installation 
Codes. Mobile home installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of  local codes, install to the current standard 
for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA ZA240 MH Series in Canada or the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety 
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites and Communities 
Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the United States.

The fi replace and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure 
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The fi replace must be isolated from the gas supply 
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping  system at test 
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

When the fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible 
material other than wood fl ooring, the fi replace shall be installed on a metal or 
wood panel extending the full width and depth.

If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must be electrically 
connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local 
codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada 
or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
