Installation and Instructions
9
An external regulator must be used on all
propane/L.P.G. heaters, in addition to the regulator
fitted to the heater, to reduce the supply tank pressure
to 13" w.c. (maximum). Any copper tubing used to
supply propane/L.P.G. from the tank must be
internally tinned.
NOTE: When connecting propane/L.P.G. vent-free
room heaters, you must use pipe sealant resistant to
propane/L.P.G.
IMPORTANT: Hold heater regulator with a wrench
to prevent movement when connecting to inlet piping.
Check Gas Type: The gas supply must be the
same as stated on eh eater's rating plate. If the gas
supply is different, DO NOT INSTALL THE HEATER.
Contact our dealer for the correct model.
Connecting directly to an unregulated
propane/L.P.G. tank can cause an explosion.
After completing connection, test all gas joints from
the gas meter to the gas heater regulator for leaks.
Using water soap and water solution or a gas sniffer.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
Do not connect directly to natural gas
1/2 PSI or 2 PSI systems. Always make sure natural
gas pressure is regulated 10.5 w.c.
(maximum before operating unit).
Drafts
Do not locate the fireplace in high traffic areas or
areas exposed to high drafts and winds. Locate the
fireplace away from furniture and draperies.
Fireplace Clearances
The fireplace may be placed directly on a
combustible floor, against a combustible wall at
marked clearances or on a raised wooden platform.
If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised
wooden platform, the platform must be a continuous
level surface. The fireplace must be secured in place
so it cannot shift positions. The nailing flanges on the
sides of the firebox make securing it to the framing
easy. They were designed to allow the installation of
wallboard or plywood flush with the face of the
fireplace.
Only the header (Fig. 2, page 7) may rest on the
standoffs on top of the firebox.
When the fireplace is installed over carpeting,
vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than wood
flooring, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending its full width and depth. Alternatively, the
carpeting, vinyl, tile, etc., may be removed from
beneath the fireplace before installing.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED OVER OR TOUCH ANY BLACK PAINTED
SURFACE.
