Attaching Wood Base to Solid Floor

For attaching base to solid floors (concrete or masonry)

Note: Floor anchors and mounting screws are in hardware package. The hardware pack- age is provided with fireplace.

1.Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16" drill bit. For solid floors (concrete or masonry), drill at least 1" deep.

2.Fold floor anchor as shown in Figure 15.

3.Insert floor anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap anchor flush to floor.

4.Insert mounting screws through base and into floor anchors.

5.Tighten screws until base is firmly fas- tened to floor.

NOTICE: A qualified service per- son must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never connect fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

IMPORTANT: Check gas line pressure before connecting fireplace to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, fireplace regulator damage could occur.

CAUTION : Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter- nally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 16).

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal- ant that is resistant to liquid pe- troleum (LP) gas.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 16. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi- ment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
