GAS LINE HOOK-UP
NOTE:
Before you proceed, make sure your gas supply
is
OFF
!
WARNING:
OPERATION OF THIS APPLIANCE
ON GASES FOR WHICH IT IS NOT EQUIPPED MAY
LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
IMPORTANT:
This appliance cannot be used with
or converted to a gas other than the type for which it
was equipped at the factory.
Check Gas Type:
The gas supply must be the same as
stated on the heater's rating plate. If the gas supply is
different, DO NOT INSTALL the heater. Contact your
dealer for the correct model.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A BLOWER INSERT,
HEAT EXCHANGER INSERT OR OTHER
ACCESSORY NOT APPROVED FOR USE WITH
THIS HEATER.
IMPORTANT STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN
MAKING THE GAS LINE HOOK-UP (Fig.5)
1. Consult your gas supplier for proper gas pipe sizing.
Normally up to 50' of 1/2" inside diameter (ID) gas pipe will
supply adequate volume for all vent free units.
2. The incoming gas line may be routed into the fireplace
either from the left or right side.
3. Include a manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line so
the appliance may be disconnected for servicing.
4. Center the burner system from side to side in the
firebox. In a vented firebox, if the damper is used, the
burner assembly should be located directly under the
damper.
5. Use the 3/8" aluminum connector (provided in the
accessory kit) to connect the gas supply line to the
regulator on the burner assembly.
6. Always use an external regulator for all L.P. appliances
to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 13"
W.C. This is in addition to the regulator fitted to the
heater.
WARNING:
CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO AN UN-
REGULATED L.P. TANK CAN CAUSE AN EXPLO-
SION.
7. Test all connections after turning gas supply on for
leaks using a soap and water solution.
DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING.
8. It is most convenient to light the pilot and check the
operation of the main burner with the logs not in place.
After carefully checking the gas supply line for leaks and
correcting any found, refer to the "LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS" section (pg.10) to test the burner
assembly.
