WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION
The installation of a wall switch allows you to activate the gas con-
trol valve and turn the fireplace on and off. The wall switch is to be
connected to the incoming 120 volt regular household wiring that
supplies electricity to the fireplace. Refer to wiring diagram in this
manual on
Page 19
.
OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION (Model WRC)
NOTE:
If using optional wireless hand-held remote control, wall switch
must be in the ON position to be operational. The remote control then
becomes the switching mechanism for fireplace operation.

WARNING: Gas line hookup should be done by your
gas supplier or a qualified service person.
WARNING: Before you proceed, make sure your
gas supply is OFF.
CAUTION: Do not kink flexible gas line.
GAS LINE HOOK-UP
A manual shutoff valve has been included in the appliance’s gas sup-
ply system. You may consider installing an extra gas shutoff valve
outside appliance’s enclosure (check with local codes) where it can
be accessed more conveniently with a key through a wall as shown
in
Figure 16
.
In conformance with local codes, route a 1/2" NPT gas line to appliance
through hole in left side of firebox or sub-floor as shown in
Figure 17.
IHP recommends that a black iron gas line be routed from the gas
source, through a sediment trap
(shown in Figure 18, Page 12)
and
into appliance. Once connected through appliance, a flexible gas line
may be used for ease of installation to gas control valve
(see Figure
19, Page 11).
Before connecting black iron gas line to inside of appliance a sediment
trap must be included outside appliance between gas line and gas
shutoff valve. It must extend down 3" beyond center of pipe. Prepare
incoming black iron gas line with teflon tape or pipe joint compound
(Check with local building codes).
