the appliance gas inlet connection is /8" NPt at the regulator/valve,

located on the left side facing the appliance. if a right side connection is

required, the connection pipe may be piped under the rear of the appliance

to end at the left hand side for connection to the inlet.
When tightening up the joint to the regulator hold the regulator securely

with a wrench to prevent the regulator from moving.

Checking Gas Connections: test all gas joints from the gas meter to the

gas appliance regulator for leaks after completing connection.

Figure 9

replace the test point plug after pressure measurement ensuring no

gas leaks.

WARNING

Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a gas leak test solution (also

referred to as bubble leak solution). Note: using a soapy water solution

(50% dish soap, 50% water) is an effective leak test solution but it is not

recommended, because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can

result in corrosion over time.

a. light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions label attached to the

control valve or see Page 17).

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to check for

leaks. if bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the gas control

knob (off/pilot/on) to the “oFF” position. either tighten or refasten the

leaking connection, then retest as described above.

c. When the gas lines are tested and leak free be sure to rinse off the

leak testing solution.

D. turn on burner then observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner.

make sure all ports are open and producing flame evenly across the burner.

if any ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out the ports.

Gas Pressure Check

the appliance regulator controls the burner pressure which should be

checked at the pressure test point (1/8" NPt plugged tap) located on the

millivolt control valve itself, identified out for the manifold side and iN

for inlet pressure (see Figure 9). ensure operating pressures are within

the limits specified in the technical chart on Page 16.
the pressure should be checked with the gas appliance burning and the

control set to high.

Step 4. PLACING THE LOGS

Do not add extra logs or ornaments such as pine cones,

vermiculite or rock wool. Using these added items can

cause sooting.
Do not place any lava rock on logs or burners. This

may cause sooting. Only place lava rock on floor of
