InstallatIon Items needed
Before installing fireplace and burner system, make sure
you have the items listed below.

Tee joint
•
Pipe wrench
•
Equipment shutoff valve*

Test gauge connection*
•
Sediment trap (recommended)
•
External regulator (supplied by installer)
•
Piping (check local codes)

* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with
1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equip-
ment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas
pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do
not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regula-
tor damage could occur. Install external regulator with the
vent pointing down as shown in
Figure 45.
Pointing the
vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

Ion
use only new black iron or steel pipe.
Internally tinned copper or copper tubing
can be used per national fuel code, section
2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen 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.
