Gas Line Connection - Empire Comfort Systems VFP36SB2EL-1 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

Extended Hoods
If your non-combustible facing material is over 1" in thickness and will be used to finish this firebox, extended hoods are available that
will extend out 2" farther into the room. Extended hoods are not available for the peninsula open ends. Contact your local dealer for
details.
Finishing
All joints (top, bottom and sides), where the wall or decorative facing material meets the firebox surround should be sealed with a non-
combustible material.
Hearth extensions are required for these fireboxes.
Flush panels, louvers, and decorative louver panels are interchangeable, and may be mixed and matched as desired (i.e. Flush panel on
bottom with louvered panel at top, or vice versa).
The firebox is designed to accept a gas line for an approved vent-
free gas logset. Have the line installed by a qualified service person
in accordance with all building codes. Consult local building codes
to properly size the gas supply line leading to the connection of the
logset burner. The state of Massachusetts requires that a flexible
appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Gas access holes are provided through the side panel(s) of
the firebox. See Figure 10. Carefully remove the indented
knockout in the ceramic brick panel using a drill or utility knife.
See Figure 11.
Check gas type. Use only the gas type indicated on the gas log
set rating plate. If the gas listed on the plate is not your type of
gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper
model.
Always use an external regulator for all LP fireboxes to reduce the
supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14" w.c. This is in addition
to the regulator fitted to the log set.
