Gas Line Requirements

The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and
the requirements listed below.

The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.

Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.

F u e l

This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on
the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.

Gas Line Connection

A manual shutoff valve is required within for installation (within 3’ of the heater). T-Handle gas cocks
are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.

Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In
Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gasfitter).

Gas Control Valve

3/8" M.P.T to 1/2" O.D. Fitting

(Factory installed)

The 1" diameter access hole is located 2-5/8" above the base of the fireplace. Cut

an "X" in the gasket covering the inlet and insert the gas line through the gasket.

If the gas line is routed from the

right side, bend the flex tube 180°.

10" Flex Tube

(shipped with the fireplace - min. bending radius is 3/4")

A shutoff valve may be

placed within the fireplace

The included

fitting accepts a

3/8" M.P.T. or

1/2" F.P.T.

Gas Inlet Pressure:

Standard Input Pressure

Natural Gas

7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)

Propane

13" W.C. (2.73 kPA)

If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is
adequately adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank)
should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.
