    VENTILATION AIR VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDING This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When venting to an adjoining space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see Options 1 and 2, Figure 8). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see Option 3, in Figure 8).

If the type of gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model. Always use an external regulator for all LP heaters to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 13"...
  • Page 20: Connecting To Gas Supply

    CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY CAUTION: NEVER CONNECT HEATER DIRECTLY TO THE PROPANE SUPPLY. THIS HEATER REQUIRES AN EXTERNAL REGULATOR (NOT SUPPLIED). INSTALL THE EXTERNAL REGULATOR BETWEEN THE HEATER AND THE PROPANE SUPPLY. The installer must supply the external regulator for liquid propane gas. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure.
  • Page 21 CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check state and local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" or greater in diameter to allow proper gas volume. If piping is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
  • Page 22: Gas Pressure Check

    GAS PRESSURE CHECK Check the inlet pressure to the burner to insure that it is as shown in the table below. NOTE: The pressure check point is located on the right side of the valve facing burner. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
  • Page 23: Log Placement

    LOG PLACEMENT FOR 1127 Logs are shipped secured in unit. NOTE: When operated for the first time, logs may emit a “paper burning” smell. This smell will gradually diminish and will be totally eliminated after the first few hours of operation.

  • Page 27: Manual Lighting Procedure

    THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION The thermostat control used on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase or decrease the flame height.
  • Page 28: Flame Check

    FLAME CHECK A periodic check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the unit is in operation. See Figure 17. FLAME: Propane (LP) should produce a flame that is about 6" above the rear log. This flame should be yellow.
