GAS Installation

Unusually tight construction is defined as con- struction where:

a)Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapour retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6 x 10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed, and

b)Weather stripping has been added on openable win- dows and doors, and

c)Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and ﬂoors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

An unvented room heater is recommended for use as a secondary heat source rather than as a primary source. Gas combustion produces water vapour which could occur at the rate of approximately one ounce of water for every 1,000 BTU/hr of gas input. During the cold weather season, indoor humidity levels tend to be low. Consequently, this water vapour can enhance the living space. However if a problem should occur:

a)ensure sufﬁ cient combustion and circulation air

b)use a dehumidiﬁ er

c)do not use the unvented room heater as a primary heat source

Without sufﬁ cient fresh air for proper operation, poor fuel combustion can result. Carbon Monoxide is a result of poor combustion.

If additional fresh air is required, use one of the meth- ods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within the ﬁreplace when complete.

1.Move the ﬁ replace into position and secure to the ﬂ oor through the 1/4" holes located at either side of the base.

2.The ﬁ replace is designed to accept 3/8" gas supply line. The ﬁ replace is equipped with a 3/8" manual shut-off valve.

3.Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes. In the absence thereof, install according to the National Installation Code.

4.When ﬂ exing any gas line, support the gas valve so that the lines are not bent or kinked.

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

DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.

OPTIONAL WALL SWITCH

INSTALLATION

For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may be installed in a convenient location. A 20’ length of millivolt wire is connected to the gas valve for the wall switch. How- ever if a greater length is required 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
14 gauge	100 feet
16 gauge	60 feet
18 gauge	40 feet
