GAS LINE
REMINGTON QFP40 Direct Vent FIREPLACE
GAS LINE REQUIREMENTS
✔The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and the requirements listed below. Ensure that a 1 1/4" allowance from base of unit is made for hard pipe installation, see page 16, Minimum Framing Dimen- sions.
✔The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
✔The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equip- ment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
✔Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.

Gas Inlet Pressure
All other gas appliances in the household must be turned “ON” to check Inlet Pressure, and;
Inlet pressure can only be checked with fireplace burner “ON”.
Input Pressure
Standard Minimum Maximum
Natural Gas | 7" W.C. | 4.5"W.C. | 7"W.C. |

Propane | 11" W.C. | 11"W.C. | 14"W.C. |
If the pressure is not sufficient, ensure: 1) the piping used is large enough, 2) the supply regulator is adequately adjusted, and 3) that the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
