CONNECTING THE SHADOWLIGHT XL FIREPLACE INSERT TO A GAS SUPPLY
Note: Stove is built for propane. A conversion must be done to accomodate natural gas.

Making The Connection
The gas inlet is located on the bottom right side of the fireplace. The inlet fitting is 1/2” male flare fitting designed for 1/2” stainless flex pipe. This fitting can be removed to provide 3/8” female pipe thread.
A separate gas
The ShadowLight XL Direct Vent Gas Heater must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The ShadowLight XL gas control valve must be in the OFF position during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
WARNING: To avoid pipe compounds from enter- ing into the gas train, apply compounds only to male pipe threads and do not apply compound to the first two threads.
CAUTION: TEST ALL JOINTS FOR LEAKS BE- FORE OPERATING.
Gas Pressure Requirements:
Correct gas pressure and the use of a properly sized gas supply line are essential for the safe and ef- ficient performance of this appliance. Make sure that the plumber or gas supplier checks the gas supply line and gas pressure at installation.
NOTE: Improper gas pressure can affect heater performance, flame color, or cause pilot outage.
Natural Gas:
Maximum inlet pressure 7.0” w.c. (1.74 kPa) Minimum inlet pressure 5.0” w.c. (1.25 kPa) Gas manifold pressure 3.5” w.c. (0.87 kPa)
LP Gas:
Maximum inlet pressure 13” w.c. (3.24 kPa) Minimum inlet pressure 11” w.c. (2.74 kPa) Gas manifold pressure 10” w.c. (2.49 kPa)
