GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line to the gas fireplace. For
your convenience the appliance has a shut-off valve and flex line installed, check with your local
installation codes if this is to code.
There is an access hole situated under the burner for easier access to the gas valve connection.
(Left side under burner, triangular shaped)
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure-testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure-testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will damage the appliance’s gas valve.
Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cont...
Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set screw on supply pressure tap on the
gas valve with a small flat tip screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0
in. w.c. (3.00 kPa) for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in.
w.c. (3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE
PRESSURE.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you
have purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located
on the certification label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be
provided. All gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
POWER CONNECTION
 You will need to have an electrician supply 120 volts to the area of the fireplace and
terminate in the junction box inside the unit.
VENT TERMINATION LOCATION
1. Establish a suitable vent termination location. (See ALLOWABLE TERMINATION
LOCATIONS - page 42)
2. In heavy snowfall areas make sure vent termination is located where it can not be blocked by
snowfall or snow from snow removal equipment.
3. Locate vent termination away from plants, bushes or any other object on or near the vent
termination that will interfere or obstruct the air flow around it.
4. DO NOT recess vent termination into walls, sidings or planters.
5.Vent terminations located below 7 ft (2130 mm) from grade level or anywhere that it is a burn
hazard to the public, such as patios and balconies, must be protected with an approved
termination cage.
