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 for installation (within 3’ of the heater or inside the fireplace).
T-Handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.
Gas Control Valve
3/8" M.P.T to 1/2" O.D. Fitting
(Factory installed)
The 1" diameter access hole is located 2-3/8" 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.

The modulating remote shield may
be removed to ease installation.
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.
