FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Continued
This unit has been tested for installation at high
altitude. Higher altitudes affect the atmospheric
pressure and heat valve of gaseous fuels. When
installing this unit at high altitudes, the rated
input will be lower than at sea level. The lowered
oxygen content in the air and the lowered gas
density require installation of a different size
orifice in order to achieve clean combustion of
the unit. Consult the unit data plate for the proper
high-altitude orifice size. Fill out the information
sticker attached to the unit when field converting.

A manual shutoff valve has been included in the
appliance’s gas supply system. You may consider
installing an extra gas shutoff valve outside the ap-
pliance’s enclosure (check with local codes) where
it can be accessed more conveniently with a key
through a wall as shown in Figure 14.
Route a 1/2" NPT gas line towards appliance
coming in from back of appliance. If installation
permits, you may alternately route your incoming
gas line from bottom of appliance toward either
end. It is recommended to route gas pipe from back
of fireplace if possible.
CAUTION: Do not kink flex
-
ible gas line.
CAUTION: Compounds used
on threaded joints of gas piping
shall be resistant to the action of
Liquefied Petroleum (propane/
LP) and should be applied lightly
to ensure excess sealant does
not enter the gas line.
1. Install a sediment trap between incoming gas
line and gas control valve (see Figure 15).
Sediment trap should extend down center of
pipe. Refer to your local codes.
