FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the fireplace you are installing. If you have conflicting gas types, do not install fireplace. See dealer where you purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace for your gas type.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED

Before installing, make sure you have the items listed below:

External regulator (supplied by installer)

Tee Joint

Piping (check local codes)

Pipe wrench

Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

Test gauge connection*

Sediment trap (optional but recommended)

Approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes - not provided)

*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8” NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connec- tion. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

CAUTION WARNING

A qualified installer or service person must connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burn- er system and propane/LP supply.

For propane/LP connections only, 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 13 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 14. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION

WARNING

Use only new black iron or steel pipe. In- ternally tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per National Fuel Code, sec- tion 2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen sulfide limits, and where permitted by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure (listed on data plate) at the maximum flow rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.

External regulators may be necessary for natural gas. One- or two-pound sys- tems will damage this appliance and may cause fire hazard.

When using copper or flex connectors use only fittings approved for gas connections. The gas control inlet is 3/8” NPT.
