GAS LINE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Gas piping should be installed only by
trained and qualified technicians.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system in excess of 1/2" psi.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing
its individual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2" psi.
The gas line can be brought through the left side of the
appliance. The 1/2" service gas line must connect to the
flexible appliance connector which is attached to the main
DO NOT MAKE THIS CONNECTION
control valve.
UNTIL ALL PRESSURE TESTING OF THE GAS
PIPING SYSTEM IS COMPLETE. FAILURE TO
DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
MAIN CONTROL VALVE.
Gas piping must conform to the current National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Always consult with the local code official for additional local
codes applicable in your area.
IMPORTANT: Always check for gas leaks with a soap
and water solution or gas leak detector. Never use open
flame for leak testing.
NOTE: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and
manifold pressures should be checked using the valve
pressure ports on the control valve.
CLEARANCES
IMPORTANT: Clearances listed in this manual must
be adhered to strictly. Failure to maintain these listed
clearances of the fireplace and venting system can re-
sult in a house fire.

HEARTH MATERIALS
A hearth is not mandatory with the SE 36 fireplace, but is
recommended for aesthetics and for added safety .
Non-combustible materials such as Tile, Brick, Rock, and
Slate are recommended.
In constructing a hearth, hearth material thickness must
be taken into consideration. Avoid using any material that
will block the front of the valve access door at the bottom
of the appliance.
