FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Step 1. Frame these appliances as illustrated in
Figures 8-10, Page 9. All framing details must
allow for a minimum clearance to combustible
framing members, as shown in Figure 3, Page
5. Also refer to Fireplace Specifications on Page
8. Headers may be in direct contact with the
appliance top spacers but must not be sup-
ported by them or notched to fit around them.
All construction above the appliance must be
self supporting. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE
FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.
NOTE: The framed depth from a framed wall,
must always be measured from a finished
surface. If a wall covering such as Durock
to be attached to the rear wall, then the depth
must be measured from the wall surface. It
is important that this dimension be exact.
NOTE: Non-combustible framing members are
not required, but are recommended.

Enclosure
Step 2. Level the firebox by checking the top
edge of the firebox. Shim if necessary.
Step 3. The fireplace should be secured to the
side framing members, using the full length
nailing flange located on both sides of the
fireplace. Use 8d nails, or screws.
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL THE FIREBOX TOP SPACERS BE RE-
MOVED OR MODIFIED. THE HEADER MAY BE
IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE TOP SPACERS
BUT MUST NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THEM OR
NOTCHED TO FIT AROUND THEM.
Step 4. Identify the desired location for the
battery pack/ON/OFF switch junction box. This
is
®
should be easily accessible and convenient
for use. Avoid installing where the opening
could be blocked by snow, bushes, etc. Also,
considerations need to be made to avoid water
infiltration. The electrical junction box must be
positioned within range of the electrical umbili-
cal cord (9 feet). Route the umbilical cord to
the box to ensure proper length. Secure the
umbilical cord per appropriate local and national
electrical codes.

ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside
of the right side framing as shown in Figure 5.
Gas lines must be routed, constructed and made
of materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations.
All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve. (See Figure 13, Page 11).
Figure 6
NOTE: An additional inlet has been provided
on the left side (see Figure 7, Page 8).
CAUTION
If propane is used, be aware that with
a tank that is too small (i.e., under 100
lbs, if this is the only gas appliance
in the dwelling—see NPFA 58), there
may be a loss of pressure. This can
result in insufficient fuel delivery that
can cause sooting, delayed ignition,
or other malfunctions. Any damage
resulting from an improper installation
is not covered by the limited warranty.
WARNING
Never connect this appliance to pri-
vate (non-utility) gas wells. This gas
is commonly known as wellhead gas
and does not have odorants and may
have impurities, and variations in BTU
content. The use of well-head gas will
void the manufacturer's warranty to
this appliance.
When an appliance is for connection to
a fixed piping system, the installation
must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 • NFPA 54;
National Fuel Gas Code.
