CONNECTINg TO ThE gAS SUPPLy
IMPORTANT: Do NOT connect the fireplace to the gas
supply line until fireplace installation is complete.
1. Refer to
Figure 12-2
. Route the gas supply line into the
firebox through the
gas supply line access opening
to the
point it will connect to the
gas flex line
and
gas line shutoff
valve
.
2. Unscrew the shutoff valve from the gas flex line. Apply
thread sealant appropriate for the gas type, and then con-
nect the shutoff valve to the gas stub.
IMPORTANT: Position the shutoff valve to allow easy
operation of the knob through the access opening in
the fireplace floor.
3. Connect the flare fitting on the flex line to the shutoff valve.
Tighten by hand, and then use a pipe wrench to tighten
completely, 1/4-turn at a time.
4. Leak-test all fittings.
CONTROL COMPARTMENT ACCESS
1. Remove the burner assembly with attached air shutter
assembly by removing the two 5/16" screws securing the
burner to the burner brackets (
Figure 12-3
).
Carefully slide the burner to the left, to clear the venturi from
the orifice (
Figure Figure 12-3, Detail
), and then rotate the
burner to release the air shutter adjustment rod from the
air shutter lever (
Figure 2
). Set aside screws and burner
assembly in a secure location for later reinstallation.
2. Remove the control compartment access panel and gasket
by removing (12) screws, and set aside for later reinstalla-
tion. The gas valve can be accessed through the opening,
or the complete assembly can be removed by sliding the
assembly to the right.

TESTINg CONNECTIONS (fACTORy AND fIELD) fOR gAS LEAkS
Turn on gas supply and use a gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble leak
solution) to test all factory and field connections for gas leaks.
Note:
Even though soapy water is an effective leak test solution, it is NOT
recommended because soap residue can corrode pipes and fittings over time.
1. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions in the Care and Operation
Instructions or on the label attached to the door latch).
2. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution. If bubbles form
or gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the
Off
posi-
tion. Tighten or refasten the leaking connection, then retest as described above.
3.
When all gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak test solution
.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

(CONTINUED)
ROUTINg ThE gAS LINE
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line (not provided) to the appliance.
It is preferable to bring the gas line in from the left side (as
shown in
Figure 12-1
); however, the gas line also may enter
the fireplace from the right side or bottom.
Note:
Properly size and route the gas supply line from the
supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be
installed per requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54, latest edition (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1,
latest edition (Canada).
For additional requirements for installations in the state of
Massachusetts (USA), see the section titled “
Massachusetts
Requirements
” in this manual.
