The firebox is designed to accept a 3/8-inch gas line for an approved 

vent-free gas logset. 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 3/8-inch 

hook-up at the unit. The state of Massachusetts requires that a 

flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Gas access holes are provided on both sides of the firebox. 

See 

Figure 10

.  Carefully remove the indented knockout in the ceramic  

brick panel using a drill or utility knife. 

See Figure 11. 

Check gas type. Use only the gas type indicated on the gas log 

set 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 for all LP fireboxes to reduce the 

supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14" w.c. This is in addition 

to the regulator fitted to the log set.

WARNING:  CONNECTION  DIRECTLY  TO  AN 

UNREGULATED L.P. TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION. 

Install only a ANSI Z21.11.2 vent-free log set into this firebox.

Extended Hoods

If your non-combustible facing material is over 1" in thickness that will be used to finish this firebox, an extended hood is available that 

will extend out 2" farther out into the room. Contact your local dealer for details.

Finishing

All joints (top, bottom and sides), where the wall or decorative facing material meets the firebox surround should be sealed with a non-

combustible material. 
Hearth extensions are recommended, but not required for these  fireboxes.
