Insert Placement (continued)
¥
The insert may be placed inside a masonry fireplace or listed zero-
clearance (metal) fireplace
¥
Insert must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can swing
within 36" of the front of the heater (e.g. drapes, doors)
¥
The insert must be installed in a level, undamaged fireplace
(damage must be repaired prior to installation). Use the included
leveling bolts to level the insert in fireplaces with recessed floors.
¥
The insert must maintain 10" clearance to sidewalls (measure
from the upper top)
¥
Non-combustible facing (e.g. brick, tile) must extend 8" minimum
from the side and 8" to the top of the insert (measure from the
upper top)
¥
Combustible mantles must be a minimum 17-1/2" above the top
of the insert (measure from the upper top)
+
Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA 211,
listed wall shields or other means approved by local building or
fire officials.
¥
This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the
large amount of heat this appliance produces when determining a
location.

Floor Protection

¥
The heater must be installed on a non-combustible hearth and may not extend over combustible flooring

Gas Line Installation

!
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1 and the requirements
listed below.
!
The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the
manual shutoff valve.
¥
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.
Gas Line Connection
¥
The gas inlet accepts a 3/8" F.P.T. Fitting
¥
The location of the gas inlet is shown below
¥
A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (it
must be located within 3' of the heater)
Fuel
¥
This heater is designed either for natural gas or for
propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the
top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct
fuel is used.

Gas Inlet Pressure

¥
With the heater off, the inlet pressure must meet the
requirements listed in the table below
Natural Gas ............................. 7" W.C.
Propane................................... 11" W.C.
?
If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough and the total gas load for the residence does
not exceed the amount supplied.
?
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply gas
at the suggested input pressure listed below. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
