INSTALLING APPLIANCE ASSEMBLY

WARNING: If installing in a sunken ﬁreplace, spe- cial care is needed.You must raise the ﬁreplace ﬂoor to allow access to appliance control panel. This will insure adequate air ﬂow and guard against sooting. Raise ﬁreplace ﬂoor with noncombustible material. Make sure material is secure.

CAUTION: Do not pick up appliance assembly by logs. This could damage unit. Only handle assembly by grates.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the appliance is level. If unit is not level, unit will not work properly.

Installation Items Needed

•control cover kit (provided with appliance)

•approved ﬂexible gas hose and ﬁttings (provided with appliance) (if allowed by local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)

Note: Install optional Hand-Held Remote Control Kit (see Acces- sories, page 22) before installing gas log appliance (Remote-Ready Models Only). See installation instructions included with the kit.

1.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads of gas ﬁtting (not provided). Connect approved ﬂexible gas hose to inlet side of gas control (see Figure 7).

2.Position appliance in ﬁreplace.

3.Connect to gas supply. See Connecting To Gas Supply.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pres- sure regulator.

WARNING:Aqualiﬁedservicepersonmustconnect appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP ﬁreplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This unit requires an external regulator (not supplied).Install the external regulator between the unit and propane/LP supply.

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

Installation Items Needed

Before installing appliance, 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) (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 22.

For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regu- lator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure.You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, regulator dam- age could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 8 page 9. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in cer- tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to appliance. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
