IMPORTANT:
Hold appliance regulator firmly with a wrench to prevent movement when connecting to inlet pip-
ing.
Check gas type:
The gas supply must be the same as stated on the gas logs rating plate. If the gas supply is
different,
DO NOT INSTALL THE GAS LOGS.
Contact your dealer for the correct model.
Always use an external regulator for all propane/LPG gas logs only,
to reduce the supply tank pressure to a max-
imum of 13" W.C. This is in addition to the regulator fitted to the gas log set. High pressure natural gas systems
require a regulator to reduce supply pressure to 10" W.C.
Locations that the Pressure Tapping
Point May be Installed
NOTICE
A qualified gas appliance installer
must connect the appliance to the
gas supply. Consult all local codes
before installation.
CAUTION
Use new black iron pipe, steel pipe, copper tubing, or internally tinned copper tubing.
Copper or internally tinned copper tubing can only be used according to the National
Fuel Gas Code, section 2.6.3, providing gas meets sulfide limits, and where permitted by
local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure (listed
on Data Plate) at the maximum flow rate (BTU/Hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the
pipe is too small.
A manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance. Union tee and
plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance.
See Figure 5.
