ODSR Series "A" Outdoor Woodburning Fireplace
Installing Line for gas Logs
Vermont Castings Group fireplaces are designed to ac-
cept a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line for installation of an approved
gas appliance. (Vermont Castings Group manufactures a
wide variety of gas logs for use in Vermont Castings Group
Fireplaces.)
Be sure to have the appliance installed in accordance with
building codes.
Gas connection may enter from either left or right side of
the fireplace.
Locate appropriate gas line in the outer casing of fireplace
and remove insulation from gas line tube. (Fig. 27)
From inside the fireplace, locate the knockout on the fire-
brick -- be sure you are on the appropriate or "gas line" side
of the fireplace. Using a flat bladed screwdriver or small
chisel and hammer, carefully tap around the knockout until
it loosens and falls out.
Install 1/2" (13 mm) certified gas pipe through opening.
After gas pipe installation is complete, use insulation that
was removed from gas line tube to repack space around
the pipe. Material should be inserted from outside of the
fireplace and packed tightly to totally seal between the
pipe and tube.
NOTE: gas pipe should not come in contact with any
wood structures until it has reached a point at least
one (1) inch away from fireplace side.
NOTE: When installing an ANSI Z21.11.2 ventless appli-
ance the finishing material used for the mantel must be
rated at 250°F or greater.
BTU input of a gas appliance installed in fireplace should
be rated less than 100,000 BTU/Hr.
Gas pipe installation is intended for connection to a deco-
rative gas appliance only when (1.) incorporating an auto-
matic shutoff device and (2.) complying with the Standard
for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented
Fireplaces (ANSI Z21.60) or Gas-Fired Log Lighters for
Woodburning Fireplaces.
Decorative gas appliance should be installed in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
(latest edition).

Only unvented gas logsets which have been found to comply
with the Standard for Unvented Room Heaters, ANSI Z21.11.2,
