Gas Supply Pressure Requirements
(continued from previous page)
Test gauge connections are provided on the
front of the electronic gas control valve (identi-
fied IN for the inlet and OUT for the manifold
side).
The control valves have a 3/8" (10 mm) NPT
thread inlet and outlet side of the valve. Refer
to Figure 1.
Propane tanks are at pressures that will cause
damage to valve components. Verify that the
tanks have step-down regulators to reduce the
pressure to safe levels.
These appliances must not be connected to a
chimney or flue serving a separate solid fuel
burning appliance.

The appliance and its appliance main gas
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pres-
sure testing of that system at test pres-
sures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the

gas supply piping system by closing its
10.5" WC
equipment shutoff valve during any pres-
(2.61 kPa)
sure testing of the gas supply piping

PURGE CYCLE - This is a power-vented
fireplace that requires household

electrical power to operate. When the
(Hi) 3.5" WC
fireplace is turned OFF, the exhaust
(0.87 kPa)
blower will continue to operate for up
to two minutes, to purge exhaust gases

from the venting system. This system
(2.49 kPa)
will not operate during a power outage.

Orifice Sizes

Sea Level To High Altitude (All Models)
These appliances are tested and approved
for installation at elevations of 0–4500 feet
(0– 1372 meters) above sea level using the
standard burner orifice sizes listed in Table 4 ).
For elevations above 4500 feet, contact your
gas supplier or qualified service technician.
Deration
At higher elevations, the amount of BTU fuel
value delivered must be reduced by either:
• using gas that has been derated by the gas
company; or
• changing the burner orifice to a smaller size
as regulated by the local authorities having
jurisdiction and by the (USA) National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest
edition or, in Canada, the CAN/CGA-B149.1
codes - latest edition.
