Before You Begin

INTRODUCTION

These fireplace models are vented gas fireplaces that use a millivolt gas control valve with a millivolt ignition system. P325/VP325 models have a 5" B-vent and P324/VP324 models have a 4" B-vent. A properly sized B-Type venting system and listed type vent cap are not supplied but are required for proper operation. See venting instructions on pages 8 and 9.

WARNING: This gas appliance must not be con- nected to a chimney flue servicing a solid fuel burn- ing appliance.

These models are factory equipped for use with natural gas and must be converted when intended for use with propane/LP gas. Conversion kits PCBM-324 and PCBM-325 may be purchased for simple conversion to propane/LP gas. See Accessories, page 27.

The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

For the purpose of input adjustment two pressure taps (for IN and OUT pressures) are provided on the gas control valve for test gauge connections to the appliance.
