INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This gas log burner must be installed by a certified fireplace professional or a
qualified licensed gas professional.
Before Starting:
Remove existing fireplace grate, ensure the fireplace floor is clean of all debris and the surface is level.
Damper Clamp:
Attach the damper clamp to the flap of
the damper.
See Figure 1.
Open the damper to the fully
open position and place the open end of the damper
clamp around the damper. When in place, secure with
the included bolt to hold it tight in position.
NOTE: THE DAMPER SHOULD REMAIN IN THE FULLY
OPEN POSITION AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION OF
THE GAS LOG SET
.
See Figure 2.
•
The damper clamp is intended to prevent the
damper from accidently closing completely vs. providing the minimum
dimension in which the gas log set should be operated. Should the damper
clamp not fit, not fit securely, or if you find any issue with the damper itself
regarding structural integrity or its ability to provide the necessary ventilation
for the fireplace, the damper should be removed entirely or be permanently
fixed in the open position.
•
Make sure the gas supply to the fireplace is in the closed/off position.
•
The existing gas supply will either be fitted with a log lighter, capped off or
potentially something different. It is very important to make sure to hold the
main gas feed line securely when removing the old gas connections. Hold
tightly to the main gas supply with a pipe wrench to prevent loosening of the
gas connection inside the wall. Remove the log lighter, gas cap and/or fittings,
leaving just the main gas feed line.
•
Assemble the gas connections onto the burner. The gas log burner is designed
to accept the gas supply from either the right-hand or the left-hand side of
the burner to adjust to the side of the fireplace in which the gas comes in. Install the straight gas orifice fitting
on the gas supply side of the fireplace and the gas cap on the opposite side. Seal both connections with gas
approved Teflon tape or pipe-sealing compound. Install the 3/8-inch elbow fitting to the orifice fitting and seal
with gas-approved Teflon tape or pipe-sealing compound.
•
Place the burner into the fireplace with the shorter tapered edge facing forward. Place the fireplace grate in the
fireplace with the upward angled pieces of the grate towards the front of the fireplace and install over the
burner. Center the fireplace grate left to right and as far to the rear of the fireplace as possible. The burner will
rest under the grate evenly spaced left and right between the grate. The front edge of the burner should be
even with the front feet of the fireplace grate. The location of these pieces not only ensures the overall look but
is also important for the safe operation of the gas log set, as locating the set too far forward in the fireplace may
cause the exhaust to enter the home. Should anything interfere with the placing of these parts in the instructed
location, seek the appropriate local professional to correct the issue. Examples: Consult with your local certified
A FULLY FUNCTIONAL WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE IN
GOOD REPAIR & PROPER VENTILATION IS REQUIRED FOR USE.
