INSTALLATION
Continued
CAUTION: Never connect pro-
pane/LP fi replace directly to the
propane/LP supply. This fi replace
requires an external regulator
(not supplied). Install the external
regulator between the fi replace
and propane/LP supply.
WARNING: Never connect
natural gas fi replace to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This
gas is commonly known as
wellhead gas.
For propane/LP units, installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator
will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must
reduce incoming gas pressure to between
11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce
incoming gas pressure, fi replace regulator
damage could occur. Install external regula-
tor with the vent pointing down as shown in
Figure 21
. Pointing the vent down protects it
from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. In-
ternally-tinned copper tubing
may be used in certain areas.
Check your local codes. Use
pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter
to allow proper gas volume to
fi replace. If pipe is too small,
undue loss of volume will occur.

Extension Cord
Use extension cord if needed. The cord must
have a three-prong, grounding plug and a
three-hole receptacle. Make sure cord is in good
shape. It must be heavy enough to carry the
current needed. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage. This will result in loss of
power and overheating. Use a No. 16 AWG cord
for lengths less than 50 feet.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 45° male fl are fi tting
5/8"-18 UNF (Unifi ed National Fine
Thread) inlet connection and the
fl exible gas line provided.
WARNING: A qualified
service person must connect
fi replace to gas supply. Follow
all local codes.
