GAS LINE INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Gas piping should be installed only by
trained and qualified technicians.
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system in excess of 1/2" psi.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2" psi.
The gas line must be brought through the left side of the
appliance. The 1/2" service gas line must connect to the
flexible appliance connector which is attached to the
main control valve.
CONNECTION UNTIL ALL PRESSURE TESTING
OF THE GAS PIPING SYSTEM IS COMPLETE.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE MAIN CONTROL VALVE.
Gas piping must conform to the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
Always consult with the local code official for additional
local codes applicable in your area.
IMPORTANT: Always check for gas leaks with a soap
and water solution or gas leak detector. Never use open
flame for leak testing.
NOTE: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet
and manifold pressures should be checked using the
valve pressure ports on the control valve.

CLEARANCES

IMPORTANT: Clearances listed in this manual must
be adhered to strictly. Failure to maintain these listed
clearances of the fireplace and venting system can re-
sult in a house fire.

HEARTH MATERIALS

A Hearth is not mandatory with the ASC-36 series
fireplace, but is recommended for aesthetics and for
added safety .
Non-combustible materials such as Tile, Brick, Rock, and
Slate are recommended. The appliance should not be
installed over existing carpeting.
In constructing a hearth, hearth material thickness must be
taken into consideration. Avoid using any material that
will block the front of the valve access door at the bottom
of the fireplace.
