Box Wiring

This appliance is equipped with a gas flex line 

for use (where permitted) in connecting the 

unit to the gas line. A gas flex line is provided 

to aid in attaching the direct vent appliance 

to the gas supply. The gas flex line can only 

be used where local codes permit. Refer to 

Figure 47

 for flex line description. The flex 

line is rated for both natural and propane gas. 

A manual shut off valve is also provided with 

the flex line.

The gas control valve is located in the lower 

control compartment. 

To access the valve open the lower control 

compartment door (

see Figure 48

 ) by 

pushing in the right top corner of the door. 

(The door is hinged at the bottom.) Remove 

the bottom compartment door by sliding 

the hinge pin, located at the door’s left side, 

to the right until it disengages from the left 

corner post hole. Pull the door diagonally to 

the left, away from the fireplace.

The control valve has a 3/8 in.  

(10 mm) NPT thread inlet port. 

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate 

tools and sealing compounds (ensure 

propane resistant compounds are used 

in propane applications). Optional: Seal 

around the gas line to prevent cold air 

leakage. Gas line holes and other openings 

can be caulked or stuffed with unfaced 

fiberglass insulation.

All codes require a shut-off valve mounted 

in the supply line. The orientation of 

the shut-off valve should face the front. 

Figure 47 

illustrates two methods for 

connecting the gas supply. A sediment Trap 

is recommended to prevent moisture and 

debris in the gas line for damaging the valve.

FBK-250 Blower Kit 

(See Figure 46 on Page 25)

An electrical outlet box is provided for the 

installation of the 

FBK-250

 forced air blower 

kit. Electrical power must be provided to this 

box to operate this blower. The blower kit 

has been factory installed according to the 

installation instructions provided with the kit.

Note: The tab connecting the receptacles of 

the outlet box must be broken in FBK-100 

and FBK-200 blower kit applications. See 

Figure 47

.

Step 7. CONNECTING GAS LINE 

Make gas line connections. All codes require 

a shut-off valve mounted in the supply 

line. 

Figure 48 

illustrates two methods for 

connecting the gas supply. The flex-line 

method is acceptable in the U.S., however, 

Canadian requirements vary depending on 

locality. Installation must be in compliance 

with local codes. 

Step 6.
