PREPARATION

The use of wall paper adjacent to this fire- place is not recommended, as the high heat given off by this fireplace may adversely effect the binders in the adhesive used to apply the wallpaper.

Before beginning, remove the glass door from the fireplace. Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the fireplace. Take a minute and plan out the gas, vent and electrical supply. See Glass Removal Section.

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.
