Only unvented gas log sets which have been found to comply with the
Standard for Unvented Room Heaters, ANSI Z21.11.2, are to be installed
in this fireplace.
If installing an unvented gas log set, refer to statement below:
Installing Line for gas Logs
Vermont Castings Group fireplaces are designed to accept
a 1/2" gas line for installation of an approved gas appliance.
(Vermont Castings Group manufactures a wide variety of
gas logs for use in Vermont Castings Group fireplaces.)
Be sure to have the appliance installed in accordance with
building codes.
Gas connection may enter from either left or right side of
the fireplace.
Locate appropriate gas line access hole in the outer cas-
ing of fireplace and remove insulation from gas line tube.
(Fig. 28)
From inside the fireplace, locate the knockout on the fire-
brick -- be sure you are on the appropriate or "gas line" side
of the fireplace. Using a flat bladed screwdriver or small
chisel and hammer, carefully tap around the knockout until
it loosens and falls out.
Install 1/2" certified gas pipe through opening. After gas
pipe installation is complete, use insulation that was re-
moved from gas line tube to repack space around the pipe.
Material should be inserted from outside of the fireplace and
packed tightly to totally seal between the pipe and tube.
NOTe: gas pipe should not come in contact with any
wood structures until it has reached a point at least
one (1) inch away from fireplace side.
NOTe:
When installing an ANSI Z21.11.2 ventless appli-
ance, the finishing materials used for the mantel must be
rated at 250°F or greater.
BTU input of a gas appliance installed in fireplace should
be rated less than 100,000 BTU/Hr.
Gas pipe installation is intended for connection to a deco-
rative gas appliance only when (1.) incorporating an auto-
matic shut-off device and (2.) complying with the Standard
for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented
Fireplaces (ANSI Z21.60)
or
CSA draft requirements for
Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburning Fireplaces (Draft
No. 4, August 1993).
