Gas Line Installation

When purging the gas lines, the front
glass must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the side of
the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are
provided on the bottom behind the valve 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
rear right side of the valve 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 ap-
proved flex connector. Since some municipalities have
additional local codes, it is always best to consult your
local authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
For USA installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1" (25 mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a
spray bottle. Do not use an open flame
for leak testing.
Do not subject the fireplace valve to test
pressures exceeding 1/2 p.s.i. Isolate, or
disconnect this and any other gas
appliance control from the gas line when
pressure testing.
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.
When using copper or flex connector use only ap-
proved fittings. Always provide a union when using
black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily
disconnected for burner or fan servicing (Fig. 6). See
the gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation

Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall
switch for this gas appliance into a 120 V
power supply.
1. Thread the wiring through the electrical knockout
located on either side of the unit. Take care not to
cut the wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the
wire is secured and protected from possible dam-
age. Run one end of the gas control valve and the
other end to the conveniently located wall switch.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box. Attach the cover plate
to the switch.
3. Connect the wire to the gas control valve (Fig. 7).
