INSTALLATION: VALVE KIT WITH NEW LOG SET:
1. Make sure gas is completely turned OFF to the fireplace. Make sure you have a certified and approved shut-off within
6-feet of the fireplace, or per the local code requirements.
2. Follow the instructions supplied with the log set to locate the burner pan. Using the fittings, orifice and gas supply line
that came with the log set. Connect the line to the inlet gas supply.
3. Locate a position on the back of the burner pan to mount the pilot assembly about 4” from the right or left side of the
burner pan (See Fig. 9).
4. Mount pilot assembly to burner pan as shown in (Fig. 9).
Note
: This pilot bracket clips on the top edge of the burner
pan and holds the pilot at a 45° position onto the pan, an attachment screw is recommended. Bend pilot tubing from
pilot assembly until the bottom of the pilot bracket is resting against the pan. This will hold the pilot at the 45º position.
(Use caution when bending pilot tubing not to kink the tubing and when locating the igniter and flame sensor wires not
to locate the wires and the tubing in or over the burner pan.) Locate the valve kit in the right or left front corner of the
firebox as far forward as possible (See Fig. 10)
5. Bend inlet gas supply line and connect to the 3/8” flare fitting to 3/8” inlet connector on the valve kit (Use caution not
to kink the aluminum inlet line when bending to fit to the valve).
6. Bend 12” stainless flex line and connect to valve outlet. Connect other end to 3/8” flare fitting on burner pan.
Caution:
Ensure no gas line, inlet or outlet, are placed over top of the burner pan.
7. Turn ON gas supply and check all connections for leaks using soapy water solution.
8. Follow valve lighting instructions. After pilot is operating check pilot fittings for leaks.
9. Follow the instructions supplied with the log set to install ember material, basket grate and logs.
10. Install Damper clamp (supplied with valve kit) which allows damper to remain slightly open to allow the pilot gases to
vent).
NOTE: For any PROPANE installations see conversion kit instructions.
