Step 7. The Gas Supply Line

NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with local building codes by a qualified installer ap- proved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).

NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas supply line should be purged of any trapped air.

NOTE: Consult local building codes to properly size the gas supply line leading to the 1/2 inch (13mm) hook-up at the unit.

This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 inch

(13 mm) gas supply line. To install the gas supply line:

A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 inch (13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a listed flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch (13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substi- tuting for these components, please consult local codes for compliance.

Locate the gas line access hole in the outer left-side casing of the fireplace.

Insert the gas line through the access hole. Position the ball valve on the flex line to line up with the gas line. Attach the gas line.

When attaching the pipe, support the control so that the lines are not bent or torn.

After the gas line installation is complete, use a soap solution to carefully check all gas connections for leaks.

WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO

!CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

At the gas line access hole, use insulation to re-pack the space around the gas pipe.

Insert insulation from the outside of the fireplace and pack the insulation tightly to totally seal between the pipe and the outer casing.

Step 8. Gas Pressure Requirements

Pressure requirements for Heat-N-Glo gas fireplaces are shown in the table below.

A one-eighth (1/8) inch (3 mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping is provided on the inlet and outlet side of the gas control for a test gauge connection to measure the manifold pressure. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to crack open the screw in the center of the tap. Position a rubber hose over the tap to obtain the pressure reading.

The fireplace and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).

The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than one-half (1/2) psig (3.5 kPa).
