Seal and tighten securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas valve and the copper tubing or flex con- nector.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori- zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air Terminal Installation" for installation.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes located in the front left and right corners of the base. For mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace be secured in all installations.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.
FRAMING
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo- sure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURES

When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac- commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi- als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the fireplace but must not cover or protrude past any of the black
