Building codes do not permit the installation of
a gas fireplace in a plenum (a chase designed for
air flow) but your enclosure may have local air
movement within it. To limit the movement of air
on the pilot and/or burner flames the knockout
opening(s) should be sealed with aluminum (non-
combustible) duct tape.
INSTALL THE GAS SUPPLY
A 51/8” x 31/2” knockout opening in the lower left and right sides is provided for the gas supply. The dimensions
to the center of this opening are shown below.
NOTE:
The knockout must be sealed off after being taken
off to prevent air from the walls shutting off the pilot light.
If the gas and electrical lines cannot be run to the provided knockouts, a seperate hole may be drilled to bring
gas and electrical into the unit. This hole must be located below the hearth tray and sealed completely after
the gas and electrical lines have been brought into the unit.
The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shutoff valve and a capped,
1/8
” pipe tapping upstream of the
valve for the purpose of reading pressure. A service shutoff valve must be placed within six feet of the fireplace
gas control valve.
The gas supply line must terminate with a
1/2
” male flare fitting. The gas supply pressure at the gas control valve
must not exceed 7.0” w.c. (1.7 kPa)
The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be
disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2
psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
