FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the fireplace you are installing. If you have conflicting gas type, do not install fireplace. See dealer where you purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace according to 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 recomended)

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 connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

CAUTION WARNINGManual background

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 burner 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 16. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
