Gas Line Installation; Remote Switch Installation - Vermont Castings BHDT36 Installation Instructions & Homeowner's Manual

GAS LINE INSTALLATION

When purging gas line the front glass must
be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right side,
left side of the appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts
are provided at convenient locations to allow for the gas
pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is
most convenient to bring the gas line in from the right
side, as this allows fan installation or removal without
disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with
properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8"
rigid pipe or an approved flex connector.
Since some municipalities have some
additional local codes, it is always best to
consult your local authority and the CAN/
CGA-B149 (1. or .2) Installation code or for
U.S.A Installations
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution.

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide
a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

pressure details and ratings.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test
pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or
