The fireplace is designed to accept a  gas line for connection to the 

gas valve. Have the line installed by a qualified service person in 

accordance with all building codes. Consult local building codes 

to properly size the gas supply line leading to the connection of the 

valve. The state of Massachusetts requires that a flexible appliance 

connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Gas access holes are provided through the side panel(s) of the 

fireplace. 

See figure 14

Check gas type. Use only the gas type indicated on the rating plate. 

If the gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT 

INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model.
Always use an external regulator to reduce the supply tank pressure 

to a maximum of 10.5" w.c. (NAT), or 13" w.c. (LP) See page 

10. 

WARNING:  CONNECTION  DIRECTLY  TO  AN 

UNREGULATED L.P. TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION.
