MOUNTED GAS LANTERN
NOTE: ALL INSTALLATIONS SHOULD CONFORM TO LOCAL PLUMBING
CODES.THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED!
Lantern should not be within 18” to any combustible material.
Most of the wall mounted gas lanterns are stubbed out with ¼” copper fittings.
Position mounting strap against the wall above the gas stub out and mark holes for mounting.
Mounting hardware included consists of: 1/8” strap 1/8” all thread nipple, washers, nut, and
brass cap.
Align base of mount with gas inlet to determine height of mounting bracket.
The hardware used to attach a wall mount will depend on the type of wall surface. Installation
of a mount to a brick or masonry surface will require drilling ¼” holes into masonry and
installing lead anchors. The use of TAPCON screws is also an easy way of installing a
mount by using the required drill bit for the pilot hole according to the size TAPCON screw
being used. Always be aware of the weight of the lantern when mounting on Drywall or
Stucco.
Usually lag bolts are used to anchor a wall mount bracket to wood.
Align wall mount bracket with strap secured to wall and secure lantern using supplied all
thread nipple and cap.
Next connect the ¼” copper flare line to the house supply line stub out. Fittings necessary to
connect the gas line depend on the type of line stubbed out of the wall. Be careful not to
crimp gas line when attaching lantern and making connection.
ALWAYS leak test all fittings with a soapy solution before proceeding. If air bubbles appear,
shut off main gas line and tighten those fittings.
