BUILT-IN FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves
installing fireplace into a framed-in enclosure.
This makes the front of fireplace flush with wall.
If installing a mantel above the fireplace, you must
follow the clearances shown in Figure 16, page
12. Follow the instructions below to install the
fireplace in this manner.
1. Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown
in Figure 13 for the rough opening. If installing
in a corner, use dimensions shown in Figure 14
for the rough opening. The height is 33" which
is the same as the wall opening above.
2. If using blower, install and properly ground
GA3555, three-prong 120 volt electrical out-
let, in fireplace. Follow instructions included
in kit.
3. Install gas piping into fireplace location. This
installation includes an approved flexible gas
line (if allowed by local codes) after the equip-
ment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must
be the last item installed on the gas piping. See
Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location,
page 12.
4. Carefully set fireplace in front of rough opening
with back of fireplace inside wall opening.
5. Carefully insert fireplace into rough opening.
6. Attach flexible gas line to gas supply. See Con-
necting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 14.
7. Attach fireplace to wall studs using nails or
wood screws through holes in nailing flange
(see Figure 15).
8. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 15.
9. Plug electrical cord into electrical outlet
installed in step 2.
10. Install trim after final finishing and/or painting
of wall (see Figure 7, page 9).
