INSTALLATION

GAS INSTALLATION FRAMING

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 1/4"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 lo- cation. 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
14gauge	100 feet
16gauge	60 feet
18gauge	40 feet

Attach the one lead to terminal 3 (located on the gas valve) and the other lead to the vent safety switch wire ( located loose in the valve compartment). See FIGURE 3.

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

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 7-9.

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 theat clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace system.

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.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 4 feet away from the front face.

Minimum clearance to combustible con- struction from fireplace:

sides, back, bottom and top of the unit	0 inch
recessed depth	22 inches

4.Install rigid black pipe, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or, if

local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve	FIGURES 8
to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve. Seal and tighten
securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas valve
and the copper tubing or flex connector. DO NOT KINK
FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR. FIGURE 6.

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

Do not use open flame.

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