Natural LP (Propane)
Minimum Inlet Pressure 5.5” w.c. 11.0” w.c.
Maximum Inlet Pressure 14.0” w.c. 14.0” w.c.
Manifold Pressure 3.5” w.c. 10.0” w.c.
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the
current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes
having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m).
WARNING: Improper installation, adjust-
ment, alteration, service or maintenance
can cause injury or property damage. Refer
to this manual for correct installation and
operational procedures. For assistance or

Fig. 7 Typical gas supply installation.
When purging gas line the front glass must
be removed.
A gas shut off valve must be installed on
the gas pipe line going into the appliance
within easy access. Refer to local codes.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the top of
the valve box assembly.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
tinned 1/2” copper tubing or 1/2” gas tight. Some
municipalities have additional local codes, it is always
best to consult your local authority and the CSA-B149.1
installation codes.
For USA installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a spray
bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak
testing.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected
to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi.
Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas
appliance control from the gas line when
pressure testing.
The fireplace is equipped with an inlet and manifold
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro-
vide a 1/8” test point up stream of the control.
When using copper, use only approved fittings. Always
provide a union when using black iron pipe so the gas
line can be easily disconnected for burner servicing. A
union may not be behind a wall. Refer to the gas speci-
fications for pressure details and ratings.
