STEP 2:
Remove gas line cover plate on rear of fireplace and
pull out insulation from gas line conduit sleeve, save insula-
tion for reuse.
STEP 3:
Run a 1/2” black iron gas line into the fireplace
through the rear at 11 1/4” from the floor and through gas line
conduit sleeve. Provide sufficient gas line into fireplace
chamber for fitting connection (see figure
14
).
NOTE:
Secure incoming line to wood framing to provide
rigidity for threaded end.
STEP 4:
Repack insulation around gas line and into sleeve
openings. Seal any gaps between gas line and refractory
knock out hole with refractory cement or commercial furnace
cement. Install the decorative gas appliance or cap-off gas
line if desired.
CAUTION:
All gas piping and connections must be tested
for leaks after the installation is completed.
After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply a soap and wa-
ter solution to all connections and joints. If bubbles appear,
leaks can be detected and corrected.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK
TESTING AND DO NOT OPERATE ANY APPLIANCE
IF A LEAK IS DETECTED
The gas pipe is intended for connection to a decorative gas
appliance only; (1) incorporating an automatic shut-off device
and (2) complying with the standard for Decorative Gas Ap-
pliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60 –
1990. ONLY UNVENTED GAS LOG SETS WHICH HAVE
BEEN FOUND TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD
FOR UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS, ANZI\IAS\AGA
Z21.11.2, ARE TO BE INSTALLED IN THIS FIREPLACE.
NOTE: An appropriate FMI hood (as shown in page 13)
must be installed when using an unvented gas log set.
This
appliance shall also be installed in accordance with the
Na-
tional Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1-1988
CAUTION: WHEN USING A DECORATIVE
APPLIANCE, THE DAMPER MUST BE REMOVED OR
PERMANENTLY LOCKED IN THE OPEN POSITION.
CHIMNEY PIPE INSTALLATION
The FMI chimney system is a snap-lock, double-wall pipe. It
consists of a stainless steel inner flue pipe, a galvanized outer
pipe, and a wire spacer.
Each section of pipe comes in lengths of 12, 18, 36, and 48
inches but the actual
lineal gain
for each is measured after
each section is fully connected.
Lineal gain
is the actual measurable length of a part after
two or more parts are connected.
LINEAL GAIN
PART NO.

PIPE INSTALLATION
Place pipe assembly (inner and outer with wire spacer) over
starting collar.
Inner pipe fits inside inner pipe, outer pipe
fits outside outer pipe.
Begin by aligning
hemmed-end
of inner flue pipe into the
inner starting flue pipe of fireplace. Push down until hem
“snap-locks” with lances. The outer pipe is just the opposite;
female end has the lances. Continue the same procedure for
the outer pipe (see figure
15
).
