INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must connect fire- place Insert to gas supply. Fol- low all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP heater 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
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
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will re- duce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce in- coming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches 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.
