GAS Installation, Framing | Napoleon Fireplaces GD36PTR, GD36NTR

GAS INSTALLATION

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

1.Move the fireplace into position and secure using the nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the ¼"ø holes located at either end of the base.

2.Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.

3.For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient location. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of the unit. The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire

size:	WIRE SIZE		MAX. LENGTH
	14	gauge	100 feet
	16	gauge	60 feet
	18	gauge	40 feet

Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the
gas valve.	1

4.Install rigid black pipe, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or, if local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve.

FIGURE 38

The gas line and the shutoff valve (if so equipped) must not interfere with the opening and closing of the door latch.

Seal and tighten securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas valve and the copper tubing or flex con- nector.

Do not kink flex connector.

5.Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.

Do not use open flame.

Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or gas valve to electricity (110 volts).

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori- zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air Terminal Installation" for installation.

The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes lo- cated in the front left and right corners of the base. For mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace be secured in all installations.

Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the source, prior to moving the mobile home.

After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.

FRAMING

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local build- ing codes.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace system. Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.

When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac- commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi- als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the

fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face- areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
