Before installing fireplace and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.
•
External regulator (supplied by installer)
•
Piping (check local codes)
•
Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
•
Test gauge connection*
•
Sediment trap (recommended)
•
Pipe wrench
•
Tee joint
•
Equipment shutoff valve*
•
Approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes — not provided)
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do
not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with
the vent pointing down as shown in
Figure 28.
Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

approved for gas connections. The gas control inlet is
3/8" NPT.

use only new black iron or steel pipe.
Internally tinned copper or copper tubing
can be used per national Fuel code, section
2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen sulfide
limits, and where permitted by local codes.
Gas piping system must be sized to provide
minimum inlet pressure (listed on data plate)
at the maximum flow rate (Btu/hr). undue
pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too
small.
