The gas line should be installed by a qualified service technician.

Step 8

Gas Pressure

Requirements

•At the gas line access hole, use insulation to re- pack the space around the gas pipe.

•Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the pipe and the outer casing.

Figure 9. Gas Supply Line

Pressure requirements for Heat-N-Glo gas fireplaces are shown in the table below.

Pressure	Natural Gas	Propane
Minimum	5.0 inches	11.0 inches
Inlet Pressure	w.c.	w.c.
Maximum Inlet	14.0 inches	14.0 inches
Gas Pressure	w.c.	w.c.
Manifold	3.5 inches	10.0 inches
Pressure	w.c.	w.c.

The tap for the manifold and inlet pressures are on the face of the gas control valve. Remove the control panel covering the valve. Use a small screwdriver to crack open the screw in the center of the tap. Position a rubber hose over the tap to obtain the pressure reading.

The fireplace and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).

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