Gas Supply Line
Once the vent pass-through (or pass-through
’
s) are finished, the gas supply line should be installed. The
supply line should exit the wall that the fireplace will be installed on at the location specified on the instal-
lation template We suggest the installation of a shut-off valve in the supply line between the wall and the
connection to the fireplace. Your professional gas installer or local gas company will determine the specific
requirements for the gas supply line as the requirements may vary in different locations. In every case, the
installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1
or the
Canadian Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.
Installing the Fireplace Mounting Plate on the Wall
1. The fireplace mounting plate is attached to the wall structure using
six
1/4”
X
2”
long lag bolts and large diameter washers that are
provided with the fireplace. It is important to use the included
hardware as the full weight of the fireplace is supported by the
mounting plate.
2. Drill a
5/32”
diameter pilot hole at each of the mounting hole loca-
tions that you marked using the template. The pilot holes should
be the full depth of the lag bolts. Be sure that there is solid wood
at each mounting location. If not, the wall should be reconstructed
to provide the needed support.
3. Before the mounting plate can be lagged to the wall the two tabbed
sections of the telescoping vent pipe heat shields that you set aside
earlier must be attached to the mounting plate. Each heat shield
half is held in place with three sheet metal screws (provided). The
inner shield half (smaller diameter) is installed from the front of
the mounting plate. Slide the inner heat shield half through the
vent pipe opening in the mounting plate. Align the three tabs with
the pilot holes in the mounting plate (as shown in the adjacent il-
lustration) and install the three screws.
4. The outer vent pipe heat shield half (larger diameter) is installed on
the rear of the mounting plate. Slip the outer shield half over the
inner shield and align and install the three screws. See the adjacent
illustration.
5. The fireplace mounting plate is now ready to be lagged to the wall
structure.
6. With a helper pick up and align the mounting plate over the gas
supply line and line up with the four mounting lag bolt pilot holes.
These holes are in recessed bosses.
7. Using the lag bolts and washers provided with the fireplace, install
the top lag bolts (with washers) first, followed by the lower ones.
Use a
7/16”
socket wrench to tighten the lag bolts.
Note: It may be helpful to put a light coating of dish or hand soap
on the lag bolts to reduce resistance when tightening.
