INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
This appliance must be installed by a qualified gas installer and the installation conform to the
installation codes.
This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for
adequate combustion and ventilation air. Provide adequate clearance around air openings of the
appliance. Never obstruct front openings.
Provide adequate clearances for proper operation and servicing of the appliance.
This appliance must be properly connected to a venting system and must not be connected to a chimney
flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the fireplace. The line must be
properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Immediately up stream of the supply
connection, the fitter shall provide a manual shut-off valve and a 1/8 NPT plugged tapping accessible for
connection to a test gauge.
CAUTION:
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in execss of 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping systme by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so
will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not cover by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Check for proper gas supply pressure by placing a test gauge on the 1/8 NPT tap on the gas supply line.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 4.5 in. w.c. (1.12 kPa) for natural gas and 11.0 in. w.c.
(2.74 kPa) for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.48 kPa) or
1/2 psi. for both natural gas and propane.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have
purchased is design for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification
label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be provided. All
gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
