Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall
switch for this gas appliance into a 120v
power supply.
1. Thread wire through the electrical knockout located
on either side of the unit. Take care not to cut the
wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the wire is
secured and protected from possible damage. Run
one end of the gas control valve and the other end
to the conveniently located wall switch.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install
switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to
switch.
3. Connect wiring to gas valve. (Fig. 7)

Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1” (25mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a
spray bottle. Do not use an open flame
for leak testing.
The fireplace valve must not be sub-
jected to any test pressures exceeding
1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any
other gas appliance control from the gas
line when pressure testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to
provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only ap-
proved fittings. Always provide a union when using
black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily
disconnected for burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See
the gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.
Alternate Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on either side of the
access door. Mount the switch to the switch bracket
provided. Screw the bracket on either side of the
frame, line up the screws with the prepunched holes.

EB-1 Electrical Box
The fireplace, when installed, must be
electrically connected and grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the current
CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
For USA installations, follow the local
codes and the national Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested that the wiring of
the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box be
carried out by a licensed electrician.
Ensure that the power to the supply line
has been disconnected before commenc-
ing this procedure.
