Gas Line Requirements

MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS -

W A R N I N G :

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUYMBER OR GAS FITTER WHEN INSTALLED WITHIN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

OTHER MASSACHUSETTS CODE REQUIREMENTS:

1.

Flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.

2.

Shutoff valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

3.

Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.

4.

Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.

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.

Gas Line Location

The gas inlet is located on the left side. It may be re-located to the base of the fireplace (see “Optional Gas Line
Location” on the following page).

The left side gas inlet is

located 2-3/4" above the

base of the fireplace.

1/2" F.P.T.

4"

Gas Line (1/2" M.P.T.)

The base mount gas

inlet is flush with the

base of the fireplace.

NOTE: a 3" diameter hole is required to provide

clearance for the gas inlet screws.

4-1/4"

8-1/4"

1/2" F.P.T.

Gas Line

(1/2" M.P.T.)

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

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

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.
