Gas Line Installation
This gas appliance should be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with local
building codes and with current CAN/CGA - B149.1 or .2 installation codes for Gas
Burning appliances and equipment in Canada and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223 in the U.S.A.
1. The gas pipeline can be brought in through either the right or the left side of the
appliance. A knockout is provided at either location to allow for the gas pipe
installation and testing of any gas connection.
2. The gas control inlet is 1/2” NPT. Typical installation layout for rigid pipe is shown
at right.
3. When using
copper
or
flex connector
, use only approved fittings. Always provide
a union so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See
gas specification for pressure details and ratings.
4. When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for the installation, a condensation
trap is needed. See CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 for code details.
5. For natural gas, a minimum of 3/8” iron pipe with gas minimum pressure of 4.5
w.c. must be used for supply from the gas meter. Consult with the local gas utility
if any questions arise concerning pipe sizes.
6. 1/8” NPT plugged tappings are accessible for test gauge connection both on the
inlet and outlet of the gas valve.
7. Turn the gas supply ON and check for leaks. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR
THIS PURPOSE. Use an approved leak testing solution.
8. The appliance and its individual shutoff 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 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
9. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
Note: The gas line connection may be made of 1/2” rigid pipe, 1/2” copper pipe or
an approved flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes,
it is always best to consult your local authorities and the current CAN/CGA -
B149.1 or .2 installation code in Canada or the National Fuel Gas code ANSI
Z223.1 in the U.S.A.

Operating and Maintenance Instructions
This gas appliance should be installed by a qualified installer in accor-
dance with local building codes and with current CAN/CGA - B149 (.1
or .2) installation codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.
For safe installation and operation
note the following:
This appliance gives off high temperatures and should be located out of
heavy traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperatures of this appliance and should stay away to avoid burns or
ignition of clothing.
Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified. Parts that
have to be removed for servicing should be replaced prior to operating
this appliance again.
Installation and any repairs to this appliance should be done by a quali-
fied service person. A professional service person should be called to
inspect this appliance annually. Make it a practice to have all of your
gas appliances checked annually.
Never use your gas fireplace as a cooking device.
The Burner/Log Assembly has been engineered and permanently
adjusted for proper flame control.
Periodically remove the logs from the grate assembly and vacuum any
loose particles from the grate and burner areas.
Control compartments, burners and air passages in this appliance
should be kept clean and free of dust and lint. Make sure that the gas
valve and pilot light are turned off before you attempt to clean this unit.
The venting system (chimney) of this appliance should be inspected at
least once a year and if needed, your venting system should be cleaned.
Keep the area around your appliance clear of combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
This appliance should not be used as drying rack for clothing, nor
should Christmas stockings or decorations be hung near it.
Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood, paper, card-
board, coal) be used in this appliance.
Note: It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any
undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.
Warning: When purging the gas line, the glass front must be
removed.
Do not alter gas orifice.
For the state of Massachusetts a
T-handle gas shut-off valve
must
be used on a gas appliance. This T-handle gas shut-off valve must
be listed and approved by the state of Massachusetts. This is in ref-
erence to the state of Massachusetts state code CMR238.
