Prepare incoming black iron gas line with
Teflon tape or pipe joint compound (check with
local codes as to the use of Teflon tape). Com
-
pounds used on threaded joints of gas piping
shall be resistant to the action of propane/LP
and should be applied lightly to ensure excess
sealant does not enter the gas line.
Complete your gas installation by connecting
the incoming gas line to the appliance regula-
tor. Secure all joints tightly with wrench but do
not overtighten. If a flexible gas line is used,
take care not to kink the connector.
WARNING: All gas piping
and connections must be tested
for leaks after the installation is
completed. After ensuring that
the manual shutoff gas valve is
open, apply a soap and water
solution to all connections and
joints. If bubbles appear, leaks
can be detected and corrected.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR
LEAK TESTING AND DO NOT
OPERATE ANY APPLIANCE IF
A LEAK IS DETECTED.

GAS SUPPLY TESTING
Note: This section is intended as a guide for
qualified technicians installing gas to this
vent-free firebox.
CAUTION: Do not connect
vent-free appliance before pres-
sure testing gas piping. Damage
to gas valve may result and an
unsafe condition may be caused.
The appliance and its’ individual shutoff 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
psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
HARD-WIRING FIREBOX
This model only can be hard-wired to the
duplex outlet located inside the firebox bottom
if desired. This allows the blower accessory to
be plugged into the duplex outlet.
NOTICE: A qualified electrician
must connect electrical wiring to
duplex outlet for built-in instal-
lation. Follow all local codes. In
absence of local codes follow
The National Electric Code ANS/
NFPA 70.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
A blower system assembly is available for
use with the vent-free firebox as an optional
accessory. This blower is designed to be
installed on either side of the firebox, when
provisions for a 120 VAC supply connection
are made at either end of the cabinet. Use of a
blower system other than those manufactured
by INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS voids
the warranty.
Electrical connections are made within the
receptacle with wires that are routed through
the bushing provided (see Figure 15). The
receptacle may be relocated to either side,
when necessary. However, the cover plate
must be replaced over the unused access
point. Be certain to properly ground the vent-
free firebox using the green grounding wire
(see Figure 17 on page 14).
Note: A 120V supply connection to the leads
