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.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be
provided.
All gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the fireplace. The line
must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Immediately upstream of the
supply connection, the fitter shall provide an accessible manual shut-off valve. When connecting
the supply line to the gas valve, the installer shall brace the gas valve to ensure that the gas valve
is not moved from its bracket. If the valve is not braced when the supply line is connected, the
valve may be moved and cause a “break” in the main burner supply line. Such damage is not
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
CAUTION: The appliance 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). Failure to do so will damage the
appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Natural Gas Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 4.5” W.C. (1.2 kPa) and a maximum of
14” W.C. (3.5 kPa).
ELEVATION INPUT RATING
0-4500 ft (0-1372 M)
4500 ft (1372 M) and above. less 4% per 1060 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
Propane Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 11” W.C. (2.8 kPa) and a maximum of 14”
W.C. (3.5 kPa).
ELEVATION INPUT RATING
0-4500 ft. (0-1372 M) 4500 ft. (1372 M) and above less 4% per 1060 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
NOTE: THE INPUT RATING SHOULD ALWAYS BE CHECKED WHEN FIRST RUNNING THIS
APPLIANCE. To do this, reduce the background flow rate, time the meter, light the fireplace and
take another reading after 15 minutes of operation. Check with your gas supplier for the gas BTU
content at your elevation. Input is the rate of flow multiplied by the heating value of the gas (cubic
feet/hour x BTU per cubic feet). Adjust the manifold pressure so that the unit does not operate
above the rated input.
