Utilities - Heatilator ODYSSEY ODY42 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

ODYSSEY SERIES FIREPLACE WITH GAS LOG SET
1. High Altitude Installation
For U.S. installation, fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0-2000 feet. When installing this fireplace at
an elevation above 2000 feet, National Fuel Gas Codes require a decrease of the input rating by changing the existing
burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Check with the local gas
utility for proper orifice size identification. The correct orifice is available from your Heatilator distributor.
For Canada, fireplaces are certified for elevations from 0-4500 feet. When installing this fireplace at an elevation between
0-4500 feet in Canada, the input rating does not need to be reduced. When installing this fireplace at an elevation above
4500 feet in Canada, check with local authorities.
2. Gas Line Connection
Remove the control access cover as shown in Figures 22 and 23.
The appliance is provided with a stainless steel flexible connector and a listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
approved) T-handle manual shutoff valve. The incoming gas line should be piped into the valve compartment and connected
to the 1/2” FIP connection provided on the manual shutoff valve. See Figure 24 to connect the gas line.
around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage.
A gas access hole is provided on the right hand side of the fireplace. It is recommended that the piping be brought in from
the right side. However, if it becomes necessary to plumb from the left, a gas knockout is provided.
All connections must be tightened and checked for leaks with a soap and water solution or leak detector.
Bleed the gas line to extract any air that may have been trapped inside the pipe and replace the control access cover.
