Gas Line Requirements

! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1
and the requirements listed below.
! The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
! Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.

Fuel

¥ This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker
on the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.

Gas Line Connection

¥ The gas inlet accepts a 3/8" M.P.T. or 1/2" F.P.T.
¥ A manual shutoff valve is required (it may be installed behind the access door inside the fireplace)
¥ The location of the gas inlet is shown on page 21.

Gas Inlet Pressure:

¥ If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is
adequately adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
¥ The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank)
should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.

Electrical Connection

! Make sure the household breaker is shut off prior to working on any electrical lines.
! The fireplace must be properly grounded in accordance with local codes (or ANSI/NFPA 70-1987)
¥ The electrical line must be 14 gauge, and supply 120 Volts at 60 Hz (2 Amps)
Feed the electrical line
through the strain
relief.
1 Remove the junction box cover at the right rear corner of the fireplace near the base.
2 Feed the electrical line through the strain relief (use insulated Romex (®) type wire).
3 Remove the wires from the junction box. Expose approximately 1/2" of metal wire from each line of
the electrical line. Use the wire nuts (included in the owner's pack inside the firebox) to secure the
wires together. Connect the green wire to the ground wire (usually green), the white wire to the
common wire (usually white), and black wire to the hot wire (usually black).
4 Push the wire connections into the junction box. Replace the cover plate.
5 Tighten the strain relief on to the outer insulation of the electrical line to secure.

Use wire nuts to connect the wires together. Push the
connections inside the junction box, and re-attach the cover
plate. Tighten the strain relief on to the outer insulation of the
electrical line to insure the line does not pull loose.
The junction box is located
in the right rear corner of
the fireplace. Remove the
junction box cover plate to
access the wires (use a
standard screwdriver).
