INSTALLING GAS pIpING TO
FIREpLACE LOCATION

WARNING: A qualified

service person must connect

fireplace to gas supply. Follow

all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP

units, never connect fireplace

directly to the propane/LP supply.

This heater requires an external

regulator (not supplied). Install

the external regulator between the

fireplace and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: For natural

gas, never connect heater to

private (non-utility) gas wells.

This gas is commonly known

as wellhead gas.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the

items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved flexible gas line with gas connector

(if allowed by local codes)

* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve

with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test

gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certi-

fied equipment shutoff valve from your retailer.

For propane/LP connection only, the installer must

supply an external regulator. The external regula-

tor will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must

reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14

inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas

pressure, fireplace regulator damage could occur.

Install external regulator with the vent pointing

down as shown in Figure 31. Pointing the vent

down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new,

black iron or steel pipe. Inter-

nally-tinned copper tubing may

be used in certain areas. Check

your local codes. Use pipe of

1/2" inside diameter or greater to

allow proper gas volume to fire-

place. If pipe is too small, undue

loss of volume will occur.
