other noncombustible face finish material desired
when setting the depth of the framing.
4. Attach the fireplace nailing flanges to the frame as
shown in Figure 5.
5. The gas components are located in the control
panel assembly attached to the right side of the unit.
Choose the desired location on the wall or mantel
for the valve box assembly. The conduit length is 5ʼ
(1524mm). (Fig. 7) The framing dimensions for the
box are 12¹⁄₄"L x 9¹⁄₄"W x 5⁵⁄₈"D (311mm x 235mm x
143mm). When the framing for the box is complete,
remove the screws securing the valve box to the
outer casing. Carefully remove the valve box and,
without stressing the conduit, slide the box into the
framed opening. Replace the screws removed from
the side of the outer casing.

6. To secure the valve box assembly to the framing
members, open the box door, remove extension
knob(s). For units with two piece cover plates, re-
move the front cover plate by removing the screws
holding the front plate to the second plate. Discon-
nect the wires for the pilot indicator and remove the
second plate located at the top of the box.
For units with a one piece cover plate, remove the
valve cover by removing the two (2) screws securing
the valve cover to the box, hold the cover plate with
one hand and disconnect the wires to the switch and
pilot indicator (R models only). NOTE: Do not allow
the valve cover plate to hang from the pilot indicator
wires as this could damage the wires.
Secure the box to the framing through the two (2)
holes at the top and one (1) on each side using
sheet rock screws. (Fig. 8) After framing the box,
replace the wires, the valve cover, the extension
knob(s) in reverse order.
NOTE: The pilot indicator body is labelled +/-, make
sure the positive wire on the pilot indicator goes to
ground and the negative goes to the plug between
the valve and the thermocouple.
