Step 2. Route gas line (Figure 8) using techniques and materials prescribed by local and/ or national codes. It is recommended that a gas line of ¹⁄₂" or greater diameter be used to allow full gas volume to the fireplace. Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small. The appliance, as set up at the factory, is best suited for use with a gas line routed from the right side. The gas line may however be alternately routed from the left side.
When rigid pipe is used, an ANSI approved manual
Ensure that a sediment trap is installed in the existing gas line, if not, install a sediment trap upstream to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing through trap to the appliance controls and burners. Failure to do so could prevent the appliance from operating reliably.
An external regulator must be used on all propane (L.P.G.) heaters to reduce the supply tank pressure to 13" w.c. (maximum). Any copper tubing used to supply propane (L.P.G.) from the tank must be internally tinned.
IMPORTANT: HOLD GAS VALVE SECURELY TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN CONNECTING TO INLET GAS LINE
WARNING: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED PROPANE (L.P.G.) TANK MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
All appliances are equipped with a gas flex line and shutoff valve attached directly to the gas control valve. To quickly and easily complete the gas line routing, use the gas flex line kit.
Step 3. Slide the fireplace into prepared framing or position fireplace in its final position and frame later.

Step 4. Install the Vent System and Exterior Termination -
A - Connect a 4" (102 mm) Type B vent system to the appliance flue collar with two (2) No. 8 sheet metal screws (Figure 10 ) and install the remainder of the Type B vent to the outside.
B - The following venting configurations may be installed (see Figure 11):

1 - Vertical - Minimum overall height of the vent system and appliance without an offset must be 12' (3.66 m)
2 - With Offset - Minimum overall height of the vent system and appliance must be 15' (4.57 m) when an offset up to 60 degrees from the vertical is used. There must be a minimum vertical vent height of 2 ft. (0.6 m) above the appliance collar before the offset can be applied.
3 - With Offset, when using the optional, 36GEP or
Maximum overall height of the vent system and appliance should not exceed 40 feet (12.19 m).

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE CANNOT BE VENTED HORIZONTALLY.
Note: Refer to the vent manufacturers installation instructions for variations of venting tech- niques. If common venting of several units is contemplated, it should be discussed with an architect and the local Building Department.
