INSTALLATION (cont.)
DIRECT VENT INSERT
1. Carefully slide the direct vent insert just inside of the
fi replace opening, still allowing for access to the interior
of the fi replace (see Fig. 26-1, A). Ensure the insert is
properly supported during this entire process.
2. MAKE SURE THE FIREPLACE GAS SUPPLY IS
TURNED OFF.
3. Connect a
3
/
8
" C.S.A. stainless steel fl ex connector (not
included) to the gas valve on the left side of the insert.
Tighten securely. Then connect the open end of the fl ex
connector to the previously plumbed gas supply / shut-off
valve (see Fig. 26-2, B). Use a pipe compound resistant
to all gasses on all male connections except brass to
brass connections.
4. LEAK TEST: Turn on the fi replace gas supply, open
the shut-off valve, and test at all connections for leaks
using an appropriate soapy water solution. If bubbles
appear, a leak is present. Turn off the gas and tighten
at all connections. Repeat until no leaks are present. If
a leak persists, turn off the gas supply and contact the
local gas company or dealer. NEVER USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
5. Connect the power supply cord coming from the left
side of the unit to the previously wired 120VAC (15 AMP
minimum) GFCI GROUNDED 3-wire receptacle (see
Fig. 26-2, C).
WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions - This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
6. Slide the vent adapter into the top of the direct vent insert
as shown in Fig. 26-3, D. Simultaneously slide the direct
vent insert fully into the fi replace. The supplied wire hook
can be used to assist in pulling the vent adapter forward
into the insert. Fasten the vent adapter using the two hex
bolts and a
7
/
16
" nut driver.
Important: When sliding in the unit, ensure all plumbing/
wiring is routed along the rear and/or sides
of the unit, NEVER ABOVE OR BELOW.
7. The unit has four adjustable legs for leveling purposes.
Adjust each leg as needed to level the unit. Ensure each
leg rests on the fi replace fl oor. Use a Phillips screwdriver
to loosen a leg, move it to the required height, and then
re-tighten the screw. See Fig. 26-4, E.
8. The adjustable legs have
5
/
16
" holes. The holes on the
two front legs (only) are for the purpose of fastening the
unit down in the fi replace. Using appropriate mounting
hardware for your fi replace construction, secure the two
front legs into the fl oor.
