GLASS/GEMS PLACEMENT
BURNER PREPARATION
After hooking up the burner to the fi replace gas supply and
placing the heat shield on the valve assembly (if applicable),
the decorative media (granules and glass/gems) must be
added for the burner to function as designed.
Note: Installation is the same for glass and gems.
Glass shown here. These instructions show
sand granules being used as a base for the
glass, but only natural-gas burners use sand.
For propane burners, follow these instructions
using vermiculite.
WARNING
The burner and pilot (if equipped) must be OFF (fully
extinguished), and all valve covers must be in place before
pouring media onto the burner. It may also be necessary
to temporarily cover the pilot assembly (if equipped) to
keep media out of it during this procedure.
GRANULE PLACEMENT
1. Partially fi ll the burner pan with the granules*, up to
the burner tube (see Fig. 8-1).
*Note: Use only select sand for natural gas burners
and vermiculite for propane gas burners.
2. Place the separation grating over the granules so that
the angled part hooks over the top and back of the
burner pan, as shown in Fig. 8-2.
Note: The grating must correctly rest onto the burner
pan. If it sits too high; remove some of the
granules to ensure a proper fi t.
3. Pour the remainder of the granules onto the separation
grating, fi lling the pan. Avoid spilling the granules
on the pilot kit (if equipped). Slope the granules at
the same angle as the burner pan. This is important
to ensure quiet lighting and even fl ame distribution
(Fig. 8-3).
GLASS/GEMS PLACEMENT
CAUTION: Glass pieces may have sharp edges.
Be careful handling the glass. Use hand
protection, such as gloves, if necessary.
1. Pour the glass/gems directly on top of the granules so
that the burner pan is covered completely and evenly.
Do not exceed a 1" depth directly above the burner.
Note: At this stage the burner will function as designed;
however, more glass/gems may be added
around the burner for decorative purposes. If
glass/gems are desired behind the burner pan,
they may be left at a lower level than the back
of the pan, as shown in Fig. 8-5, or raised up
to or above the level in the back of the pan.
2. Add additional glass/gems around the burner pan as
desired (Fig. 8-5).
