This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1
and NFPA 54(88) in the USA and B-149 in Canada.
!
The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA). For pressures
under 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
•
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.
Gas Line Connection
•
The location of the gas inlet is shown below
•
A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the fireplace. It should be placed upstream of
the flex line (if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ). T-
Handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.
Gas Control Valve
A 6" wide opening is provided on the left side, 3" behind the fireplace opening. It is 3" tall.
The gas inlet on the gas control valve is
located 3-5/8" behind the fireplace
opening, 7-3/4" to the left of the center,
and 1-7/8" above the base of the
appliance.
With the 8" pipe nipple installed,
the inlet is approximately 15"
from the center of the

This heater is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane. Check the sticker on the top
of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.
Gas Inlet Pressure
Standard Input Pressure
Natural Gas
7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)
Propane
13" W.C. (2.73 kPA)
•
If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough and the total gas load for
the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
•
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank)
should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.
