This appliance may be installed in an aftermaket permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by local codes.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless an available certified kit is used.

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level.

For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.

In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m).

Do not use this appliance if any part of it has been under water. Immediately call a quali- fied service technician to inspect the unit and replace any part of the control which has been under water.

PREPARATION

Before beginning, remove glass door and logs from unit. Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas,venting and electrical route. It is best to start with the gas line first followed by the chimney liner (See page 9).

GAS LINE INSTALLATIONGAS

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

The gas pipeline can be brought into the fireplace base from the right side. It is most convenient to install it from the right side into the valve.

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 gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

The gas line connection can be made of either properly tinned 3/8" copper pipe, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector.

The gas control inlet is 3/8" N.P.T. therefore the 1/2" rigid gas line must be reduced to 3/8" N.P.T. Typical installation layout for rigid pipe is shown following. (Fig. 1)

During any pressure testing of the gas line system, when the test pressures are to exceed 1/2 psi (3.5 kpa) the fireplace and its gas valve must not be connected to that system.

At test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi, the gas valve of the fireplace may be connected to the gas line, but must be in the closed position.

Since some municipalities have some additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the CSA- B149 (.1 or .2) installation code in Canada.

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.
