INSTALLATION

Continued

 WARNING: Never connect 

natural gas fireplace to private 

(non-utility)  gas  wells.  This 

gas  is  commonly  known  as 

wellhead gas.

 

Installation Items Needed

Before  installing  fireplace,  make  sure  you 

have the items listed below.

•  external regulator for propane/LP unit only 

(supplied by installer)

•  piping (check local codes)

•  sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•  equipment shutoff valve *

•  test gauge connection *

•  sediment trap (optional)

•  tee joint

•  pipe wrench

•  approved flexible gas line with gas connec

-

tor (if allowed by local codes) (not provided) 

* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT 

tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge 

connection. Purchase the optional equipment 

shutoff valve from your dealer.

For  propane/LP  units,  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 14" of water. If you do not 

reduce  incoming  gas  pressure,  fireplace 

regulator damage could occur. Install exter-

nal regulator with the vent pointing down as 

shown in Figure 8. Pointing the vent down 

protects it from freezing rain or sleet. 

 CAUTION: Use only new, 

black  iron  or  steel  pipe.  Inter

-

nally-tinned copper tubing may 

be used in certain areas. Check 

your  local  codes.  Use  pipe  of 

1/2" diameter or greater to allow 

proper gas volume to fireplace. 

If pipe is too small, undue loss 

of volume will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff 

valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate 

NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. 

NPT  tap  must  be  upstream  from  fireplace 

(see Figure 8).

IMPORTANT

: Install equipment shutoff valve 

in  an  accessible  location.  The  equipment 

shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off 

the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special 

requirements for locating equipment shutoff 

valve to fireplaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT 

threads. This will prevent excess sealant from 

going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could 

result in clogged fireplace valves. Never use 

sealant on flare threads.

  WARNING:  Use  pipe  joint 

sealant that is resistant to liquid 

petroleum (LP) gas. 

We recommend that you install a sediment 

trap in supply line as shown in Figure 9, page 

10. Locate sediment trap where it is within 

reach for cleaning. Install in piping system 

between  fuel  supply  and  fireplace.  Locate 

sediment trap where trapped matter is not 

likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture 

and contaminants. This keeps them from go-

ing into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap 

is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace 

may not run properly.
