INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GAS CONNECTIONS

Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas fireplace. The line must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Upstream of the supply connection, the fitter shall provide a manual shut-off valve.

CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure-testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure-testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not cover by the manufacturer’s warranty.

CHECKING INLET & OUTLET GAS PRESSURE

1.Open the lower grills.

2.The pressure test taps are located on the valve. The taps are located in the gas valve front face. The inlet is marked ‘IN’ and the outlet is marked ‘OUT’. (See Fig.1)

3.Loosen the set screw inside the tap with a ⅛” (3 mm) wide flat screw driver.

4.Connect a ¼” (6 mm) rubber tube to the tap post and a manometer.

5.Verify the readings obtained are within specs (as shown on the appliance rating plate)

6.Be sure to tighten the set screw inside the tap after you are finish taking pressure readings.

7.Check for leaks.
