GAS LINE CONNECTION
Gas Conversion (sold separately)
The conversion shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the provincial authorities
having jurisdiction and in accordance with the requirements of the ANSI Z223.1 installation code.
IMPORTANT
This fireplace is manufactured for use with natural gas. Follow the instructions included with the conversion kit if converting to
LP gas.
Gas Line Installation
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). For test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psi (3.5 kPa), the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shut-off valve.
Installation of the gas line must only be done by a qualified person in accordance with local
building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI 223.1. Commonwealth of Massachusetts installations
must be done by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) tee handle manual shut-off valve and flexible gas
connector are to be connected to the 1/2 in. (13 mm) control valve inlet. If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
• If installing this insert into minimum opening dimensions, the gas line may need to be run after placement due to space
limitations (see the Existing Fireplace Opening Minimum Requirements section of this manual).
•
This fireplace is equipped with a 3/8” (10 mm) x 18” (457 mm) long flexible gas connector and manual shut-off valve.
•
Run gas line into fireplace, preferably through left or right gas line holes provided. The gas line should be run to the point
of connection where the shut-off valve and flexible gas line will connect.
• Do not run gas line in a manner that would obstruct fan operation.
• For high altitude installations, consult the local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods.
