CHECK GAS TYPE | CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY |
Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, you must install ON/OFF Safety Valve/Pilot Kit (see Accessories, page 24). Call dealer where you bought log set.
If the fireplace does not have a gas supply shutoff valve, one must be installed.
VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be drafting properly. To check the vent for proper drafting: Light a tightly rolled newspaper on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace. Observe the smoke and be sure the vent is properly drawing it up the chimney. If the smoke spills out into the room, extinguish the flame and remove any obstruction until proper venting is achieved.
The chimney flue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all times during the operation of this log set.
For Massachusetts Residents Only Installation of this vented gas log set in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the damper be permanently removed or welded in the fully open position.
INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP
Secure the damper stop clamp provided to the leading edge of the damper as shown in Figure 3. If for any reason this clamp doesn't work on your fireplace, another suitable clamp or permanent stop must be installed, or the damper blade must be cut or removed.

Installation Items Needed
Before installing log set, make sure you have the items listed below.
•piping (check local codes)
•sealant (resistant to Propane/LP gas)
•equipment shutoff valve
•test gauge connection
•adjustable (crescent) wrench or pliers
•sediment trap
•tee joint
•pipe wrench
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally
Installation must include a equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from log set (see Figure 4, page 8).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in a clogged burner injector.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
