Gas Conversion (sold separately)
This fireplace is manufactured for use with Natural Gas. Follow the instructions included with the conversion kit if converting to
LP gas.
ATTENTION
The conversion shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the provincial authorities having jurisdiction and in
accordance with the requirements of the ANSI Z223.1 installation code.
CAUTION
Installation of the gas line must only be done by a qualified person in accordance with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI
223.1. Commonwealth of Massachusetts installations must be done by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) tee handle manual shut-off valve and flexible gas
connector are to be connected to the 1/2 in. (13 mm) control valve inlet. If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
If installing this insert into minimum opening dimensions, the gas line may need to be run after placement due to space
limitations. Refer to 3.1.1, Existing Fireplace Opening Specifications, on page 7.
This fireplace is equipped with a 3/8” (10 mm) x 18” (457 mm) long flexible gas connector and manual shut-off valve.
Run gas line into fireplace, preferably through left or right gas line holes provided. The gas line should be run to the point of
connection where the shut-off valve and flexible gas line will connect.
Do not run gas line in a manner that would obstruct fan operation.
For high altitude installations, consult the local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods.
NOTE
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). For test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa), the appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to lighting the appliance.
