GAS LINE INSTALLATION

When purging gas line, the front glass must be removed.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right side of the valve, as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.

The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some municipalities have some additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the CAN/CGA- B149 (.1 or

.2) installation code.

FOR U.S.A Installations consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See Fig. 2. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.

DO NOT USE THIS FIREPLACE IF ANY PART OF THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE HEATER AND TO REPLACE ANY PART CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN UNDER WATER.
