Gas Line Installation

When purging gas line the fornt glass must be removed. Purging gas lines must com- ply with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA and CSA B149.1 in Canada.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right or left side of the appliance, as well as the bottom. Knock- outs are provided at convenient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connec- tion. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the right side, 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, 1/2" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector, then reduced to 3/8" (R Models) or 1/2" (E Models) to the appliance. Because some municipali- ties have some additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the CSA-B149.1installation code.

For US installations consult the current National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 .

Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution applied with a brush no larger than 1" (25mm). Never aply soap and water solution with a spray bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.

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.

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

When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. Re- fer to gas specification for pressure details and ratings. NOTE: If flex connector is used, it must be kept inside of the appliance. (Fig. 5)

Remote Switch Installation

1.Thread wire through the electrical knockout located on either side of unit. Do not cut wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure that wire is protected. Run the other end to a conveniently located wall receptacle box.

2.Attach wire to switch and install switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to switch.

3.Connect wiring to gas valve. (Figs. 19 or 20, Page 14)
