Installation and Assembly
Liquid Propane (LP)
Requirements
The 20 lb LP gas supply cylinder used with LP models must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP-gas cylinders as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the CAN/CSA
B9, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.
Manifold
Pressure
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible regulator and set it for LP gas.
Supply Pressure
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 4” W.C psi (.5 kPa). Minimum line
pressure for propane is ” W.C.
Pressure
Regulator
The unit must be used with the gas pressure regulator. The regulator will control and maintain
a uniform gas pressure in the manifold. The burner orifices have been sized for the gas
pressure delivered by the regulator.
Cylinder
Specification
Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this fireplace must be approximately 2 inches in
diameter and 8 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 gallons.
Full cylinder weight should be approximately 8 lbs. (4.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.)
Always use the cylinder dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the
cylinder is not connected to the fireplace.
Transporting Gas
Cylinder
Only one cylinder should be transported at a time. Transport cylinder in an upright and
secure manner with control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.
Enclosures
Ensure cylinder valves are always readily accessible. A door on the enclosure to gain access
to the cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the
use of tools.
If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these recommended specifications
and follow local codes.
Enclosures for LP gas supply cylinders need to be ventilated by openings at the level of the
cylinder valve and at floor level. This is accomplished by:
) Having one side of the enclosure shall be completely open,
Or, for an enclosure with four sides, a top and bottom:
2) Having at least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level in the side wall, equally
sized, spaced at 80 degrees (.4 rad), and unobstructed. Make sure each opening has
a total free area of not less then ½ square inch per pound (.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel
capacity and not less then a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 sq. cm).
Ventilation openings need to be provided at floor level with a total free area of ½ inch
per pound (.2 sq. cm/k) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 0
square inches if the ventilation openings at floor level are in a side wall, make sure there
are at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at floor level and the upper
edge no more than 5 inches (27 mm) above the floor. The openings need to be equally
sized, spaced at 80 degrees (04 rad) and unobstructed.
Make sure every opening has minimum dimensions to permit the entrance of a /8 inch
(3.2mm) diameter rod.
There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (40.8mm) between the lower surface of the
floor and the LP gas supply cylinder enclosure and the ground.
