Installation Instructions

WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the ﬁreplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ﬂame patterns.

WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat ex- changer insert or other accessory not approved for use with this gas logset.

Do not burn solid fuels in a ﬁreplace where an unvented gas room heater or logset is installed.

Any outside air ducts and/or ashdumps in the ﬁreplace must be permanently closed at time of appliance installation.

Preparing the Fireplace

Gas Line Preparation

Before connecting the appliance, turn off all gas appli- ances. Close the main gas valve at the gas meter or appliances. Close the main gas valve at the gas meter or LP tank. Make certain there is good ventilation where the installation will be made. Installation should comply with all applicable building codes and ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, latest edition. Use LP gas-resistant pipe com- pound to seal threaded joints.

Installation to Existing Gas Line

There should be a manual ON/OFF valve within easy reach of the appliance. If not, before installation of the appliance make certain a valve is installed. There may be a second valve on the line close to the point where the ﬁreplace line branches off the main gas supply line. During installation, make certain this valve is OFF.

Manufactured Fireplace Preparation

Refer to the manufacturer’s ﬁreplace installation manual for the speciﬁc method of running the gas line into the ﬁreplace. The following method is typical of most manu- factured ﬁreplaces.

Insert a 1/2” gas pipe through the gas line tube provided by the manufacturer, from outside the ﬁreplace, as marked by the manufacturer. An ON/OFF valve should be placed within easy reach of the appliance. After the gas supply is installed, reinstall the insulation removed from the gas line tube, and pack it around the pipe, to prevent cold air entry and to protect the gas line. (Fig. 3)

NOTE: The gas pipe should not come into contact with any wood structure until it has reached a point at least one (1) inch away from the ﬁreplace side. (Fig. 3)

Masonry Fireplace Installation

Preparation

A 1/2 inch gas supply line must be supplied to the ﬁrebox. In most cases, this will require drilling a gas line access hole through the masonry wall. The gas supply line should then be sealed in the access hole with mor- tar. The gas supply line should also have a valve within easy reach of the appliance. Use only N.P.T. black iron gas line. (Do not use cast-iron pipe.)

Clean the ﬁreplace and chimney (if used) of any ashes, soot, creosote or obstructions. This will minimize any smell from the ﬁreplace. We recommend cleaning by a chimney sweep.

Flue Damper Preparation

The vented ﬁreplace damper should be fully opened when operating the appliance as a vented log set. A damper stop clamp with set screw is provided as a means to prevent full closure of the ﬁreplace damper blade. The clamp is designed to prevent accidental closure of the damper when in use. If the damper stop cannot be installed, a permanent damper stop that will keep the damper open a minimum of 1¹⁄₂” should be installed.
