Gas Connection - Quadra-Fire HUDBAY-FS Installation Manual

C. Gas Connection
NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI
Z223.1. Installation should be done by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, installation must
be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.)
NOTE: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
approved) 1/2 inch (13mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve
and flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch
(13mm) control valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
!
Gas Leak Risk.
• Support control when attaching pipe to
prevent bending gas line.
NOTE: The gap between the supply piping and gas
access hole may be plugged with non-combustible
insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to
and after starting the fireplace.
Before making the gas connection, ensure that the appliance
you are installing is designed for the type of gas being
supplied. This information can be found on the Ratings Label
under the appliance. If the appliance has been converted to
propane (LP), the valve cover should have a label stating
that the unit has been converted to propane.
Connect the gas line at the 3/8 in. (9.5mm) pipe connector
on the valve at the back of appliance. We recommend
connecting the appliance with an approved flex gas line.
If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you must
connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.
You must supply a manual shut-off valve in a visible location
within 3 feet (914mm) of the appliance.

Omni-Test Laboratories listed gas appliances are tested
and approved without requiring changes for elevations
from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 feet in
Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. If the heating value of the
gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify
the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
