3.13. Gas line installation
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any: If not; follow current ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA
54 in USA and current CGA B 149 in Canada.
The insert / ZC-fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 kPa). For pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.45 kPa),
isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
This insert / ZC-fireplace is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane. Check the sticker on top of the
gas control valve to verify the correct fuel is being used. See page 57.
•
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the insert / ZC-fireplace.
•
The gas inlet accepts a 3/8” F.P.T. fitting.
•
The location of the gas inlet is shown below.
•
A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (it must be located within 3 ft. of the insert / ZC-fireplace).
3.14. Gas inlet pressure
With the insert / ZC-fireplace off the inlet pressure must meet the requirements listed in the table below.
If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough and the total gas load for residence does not
exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply gas at
the suggested input pressure listed below. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at improper pressure.
Standard input pressure
Natural gas 7” W.C. (1.74 kPa)
Propane 11” W.C. (2.73 kPa)
