Warning: A qualified gas appliance installer
must connect the fireplace to the gas supply.
Consult all local codes.
Warning: Any safety screen or guard
removed for servicing an appliance must be
replaced prior to operating the heater.
Warning: Use new black pipe only. Internally
tinned copper tubing can be used in some areas
when permitted by local codes. Only use pipe of
1/2" or greater diameter to allow full gas volume to
heater. Excessive pressure loss will occur if the pipe
is too small.
A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged
pressure tap pointer must be installed upstream of
the heater.
A sediment trap must be installed upstream of the
heater to prevent moisture and contaminants from
passing through the pipe to the heater controls and
burners. Failure to do so could prevent the heater
from operating reliably.

the control set on high.
IMPORTANT: Loosen the pipe adapter on the flex tube
before installing to the system piping.
CHECK GAS TYPE: The gas supply must be the
same as stated on the heater's rating plate. If the gas
supply is different, Do Not Install the heater. Contact
your dealer for the correct model.
Warning: All gas piping and connections
must be tested for leaks after installation is
completed. To test, turn gas valve on, then apply a
soap and water solution to all connections and joints.
If bubbles appear, leak can be detected and
corrected. Never use an open flame for leak
testing. Never operate any appliance if a leak is
