QFP 30 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
• The gas line must be installed in accordance with all
local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and the
requirements listed below. Ensure that a 1 1/4" allowance
from base of unit is made for hard pipe installation, see
page 13, Minimum Framing Dimensions.
• The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. For
pressures under 1/2 psi, isolate the gas supply piping by
closing the manual shutoff valve.
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior
to and after starting the fireplace.
FUEL
This unit is manufactured for use with natural gas. To
convert to liquid propane gas, the LP Conversion Kit provided
with the fireplace is required and must be installed by a
qualified gas installer.
GAS LINE CONNECTION
A manual shutoff valve is to be installed in the unit by
your installer.
GAS INLET PRESSURE
• All other gas appliances in the household must be
turned “ON” to check Inlet Pressure, and;
• Inlet pressure can only be checked with fireplace
burner “ON”.
Input Pressure
Standard Minimum Maximum
Natural Gas 7" W.C. 4.5"W.C. 7"W.C.
Propane 11" W.C. 11"W.C. 14"W.C.

If the pressure is not sufficient, ensure: 1) the piping
used is large enough, 2) the supply regulator is adequately
adjusted, and 3) that the total gas load for the residence does
not exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly
to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply gas
at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local
gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Make sure the household breaker is shut off prior to
working on any electrical lines.
This appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in acordance with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
The electrical line must be at least 14 gauge and supply
120 Volts at 60 Hz (2 Amps)
• Remove the junction box cover at the right rear
corner of the fireplace near the base.
• Feed the electrical line through the strain relief (use
insulated Romex type wire).
• Remove the wires from the junction box. Expose
approximately 1/2” of metal wire from each line of
the electrical line. Use wire nuts to secure the wires
together. Connect copper ground wire to grounding
screw as shown in figure above, connect the white
wire to the common wire (usually white), and the
black wire to the hot wire (usually black).
• Push the wire connections into the junction box.
Replace the cover plate.
• Tighten the strain relief onto the outer insulation of
the electrical line to secure.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
OPTIONAL THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
A remote control or wall switch may be wired to the TH and
TPTH thermostat terminals. See your dealer.
