INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The gas fireplace is shipped with a

3/8”

tube OD (male) connection. The gas supply piping should have a

separate gas shutoff valve and a

1/8”

NPT plugged tapping upstream of the valve. The stove and its main

control 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 psi (3.5 kPa). The stove must be isolated from the gas supply pip-

ing system by closing the main control valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). After the gas supply has been connected, use a commercial

gas leak detector or apply a soapy water solution to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use a

flame to test for leaks.
