Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect fireplace Insert to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LPheater directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the exter- nal regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

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

Installation Items Needed

Before installing fireplace insert, make sure you have the items listed below.

•external regulator (supplied by installer)

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•equipment shutoff valve *

•test gauge connection *

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

•approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)

*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 34.

For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pres- sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 13, page 13. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
