BR/BC Series Woodburning Fireplaces
Installing Line For gas Log
Vermont Castings Group fireplaces are designed to accept
a 1/2 inch gas line for installation of an approved gas ap-
pliance. (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 inch 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 fire-
place 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 CSA draft requirements for
Gas-Fired Log Lighters for Woodburning Fireplaces (Draft
No. 4, August 1993).
Decorative gas appliance should be installed in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
(latest edition).
Only unvented gas log sets which have been found to comply with the
Standard for Unvented Room Heaters, ANSI Z21.11.2, are to be installed
in this fireplace.
