Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the
fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in
compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-
B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United States), or to the
CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).
These models (natural gas and propane) can be installed in a bedroom (in the
United States) which has a total volume of unconfined space appropriate to the
particular installation. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54
(current edition). The Uniform Mechanical Code - (current edition), and local
Building Officials for the options allowed in obtaining an effective bedroom
volume of unconfined space.
These models (natural gas and propane) can be installed in a bedroom (in
Canada) if a thermostat (Model WH-STAT) is installed with the unit. Consult
local code authorities. Detailed installation instructions for Model WH-STAT are
included with the kit.
High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet
in the U.S.A. and are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 4,500 feet in
Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United
States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent
(4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has
been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper
orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in
Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check
with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for
your location.
