INSTALLATION
BEGINNING INSTALLATION
1. Remove all contents from the burner shipping container (Box
One).
2. Check the contents of the shipping container against the ship-
ping and packing list or the parts list in this manual. Report
any missing or damaged parts to your retailer.
3. Remove any and all protective wrapping from the appliance.
4. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM.
5. Place the fireplace damper in the fully open position and
install the damper clamp over the lip of the damper
(the
damper must be in a fully open position any time that
this appliance is in operation)
. Using a 3/8” nut driver
or socket and turning in a clockwise direction, tighten the
damper clamp bolt until the clamp is secure. The damper
clamp must be in place to maintain the minimum perma-
nent vent opening. See the chart “Minimum Fireplace Di-
mensions” on page 6 for correct venting.
Notice: The State of Massachusetts requires that the chim-
ney flue damper, when used with decorative gas log sets, be
welded open or completely removed.
6. Using two adjustable pipe wrenches (one wrench on the gas
stub, and one wrench on the fitting), remove the existing cap
or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in the fireplace by turn
-
ing the wrench on the gas cap in a counterclockwise direction.
7. Clean the pipe threads on the gas stub using either a wire
brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the
steel fittings before making any connection.
Notice: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require
Teflon tape or pipe dope.
FOR EMBER BURNER INSTALLATIONS
1. Place the burner upside down with the grate tines facing you,
on the floor outside of the fireplace.
2. Using an adjustable wrench, and turning in a counter-clock-
wise direction, remove the ember burner gas feed plug.
See
Figure 7.
3. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the 3/8” NPT base (the large
end) of the compression fitting.
4. Using an adjustable wrench, and turning in a clockwise direc-
tion, install the compression fitting into the ember burner gas
feed (where the plug was removed in Step 2).
See Figure 8.
5. Slide the compression fitting hex cap, threads facing out, over
the end of the ember burner pipe.
6. Slide the compression ring over the end of the burner pipe.

Figure 9
7. Place the ember burner pipe, PORT HOLES DOWN or facing
the floor, into the compression fitting, on the end of the ember
burner gas feed.
See Figure 9.
8. Using two adjustable wrenches, one to hold the compression
base and the other turning in a clockwise direction, install the
ember burner into the ember burner gas feed.
See Figure 10.
