The use of wall paper adjacent to this
fireplace is not recommended, as the
high temperatures given off by this
fireplace may adversely effect the binders
in the adhesive used to apply the wallpa-
per.
Before beginning, remove the glass door from the
fireplace. Also check to make sure there is no hidden
damage to the fireplace. Take a minute and plan out
the gas, vent and electrical supply. See Glass Removal
N/A
Section.
When purging gas line, the front glass
must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear 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 connec-
tion. 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
approved flex connector. Since some
municipalities have some additional local codes, it
is always best to consult your local authority and
the CSA- B149.1 installation code.
For U.S. Installations
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak 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.
