GAS LINE
A gas line may be installed for the purpose of installing a decorative gas appliance available through your local distributor. Use only 1/2" black iron pipe and appropriate fittings. When installing a gas line, a
To install, remove the gas line plug located in the side firebrick approximately 2" above the bottom, The plug must be tapped out from the finished side towards the unfinished side (see Figure 11A).

TEST FOR GAS LEAKS
WARNING: All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after the installation is completed. Be sure gas valve is turned on. Apply soap suds solution to all connections and joints. If bubbles appear, leaks must be detected and corrected. DO NOT use a match or open flame of any kind to test leaks. Never operate any appliance with leaky connections.
The gas pipe is intended for connection to an unvented gas log set or to a decorative gas appliance.
If you will install an unvented gas log set, ONLY VENTED GAS LOG SETS WHICH HAVE BEEN FOUND TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD FOR UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS, ANS/IAS/AGA Z21.11.2, ARE TO BE INSTALLED IN THIS FIREPLACE.
Note: An appropriate Comfort Glow hood must be installed when using an unvented gas log set.
WARNING: Do not operate an unvented gas log set in this fireplace with the chimney removed.
If you will install a decorative gas appliance, the decorative gas appliance must comply with the Standard for Decorative Gas
Appliances for Installation in solid Fuel burning Fireplaces, ANS
National Fuel Gas code, ANS
WARNING: When using a decorative appliance, the damper must be removed or permanently locked in the fully open position.
HEARTH EXTENSION
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 20" in front of and a minimum of 12" beyond each side of the fireplace opening is required to protect combustible floor construction in front of the fireplace, Use a layer of noncombustible, inorganic material having a thermal conductivity of K=0.64 BTU IN/FT. HR. F (or less) at 1" thick. Example of determining hearth extension equivalent. If the material selected has a K factor of 0.25, such as glass fiber, then the following formula would apply: 0.25/0.64 X 1" = .39" thick. This must be covered by a noncombustible material such as tile, slate, brick, concrete, metal, glass, marble, stone, etc. Fasten the hearth extension to the floor to prevent shifting and seal the gap between the fireplace frame and hearth extension with a noncombustible material (see Figure 12).
WARNING: Hearth extension is to be installed only as illustrated.
