ICFDV40 Fireplace Insert

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the insert you are installing. If you
have confl icting gas type, do not install insert. See dealer
where you purchased the insert for proper insert according
to your gas type.

INSTALL GAS LINE TO INSERT LOCATION

A qualifi ed installer or service person must
connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
For propane/LP units, never connect insert
directly to the propane/LP supply. This burn-
er system requires an external regulator
(not supplied). Install the external regulator
between the burner system and propane/
LP supply.
Installation Items Needed
Make sure you have the items listed below before installing
appliance.
•
Tee joint
•
Pipe wrench
•
External regulator (supplied by installer)
•
Piping (check local codes)
•
Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
•
Sediment trap (optional but recommended)
•
approved fl exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed
by local codes — not provided)
•
Test gauge connection*
* A CSA design-certifi ed equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT
tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection.
Purchase the CSA design-certifi ed equipment shutoff valve
from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas
pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do
not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator
damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent
pointing down as shown in Figure 16. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

(Propane/LP Only)
Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally tinned copper or copper tubing can be
used per National Fuel Gas Code, Section
2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen sulfi de
limits, and where permitted by local codes.
Gas piping system must be sized to provide
minimum inlet pressure (listed on data plate)
at the maximum fl ow rate (BTU/hr). Undue
pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too
small.
