Gas direct vent fireplace with premium texture fiber logs combustion system

Table of Contents

Inlet and manifold gas pressure checking taps are located on gas valve. These ports are only accessible from the outer left

side of the fireplace. A qualified installer shall take pressure measurements at these ports to verify and set the correct gas

pressures during the LP Kit installation and before fascia materials are installed over the front of this fireplace. Manifold

pressure must be taken at the "MANIFOLD PRESSURE" tap and inlet pressure at the "INLET PRESSURE" tap with the

burner operating by a qualified installer.

L.P. GAS

REGULATE THE FLAME HEIGHT TO "HIGH" POSITION. OUTLET GAS PRESSURES MAY VARY PLUS OR MINUS 5%.

LPG PROPER INPUT RATES

With the proper orifices installed, as specified above,

this fireplace utilizing LP Gas will have a maximum

input rate of 33,000 Btu/Hr.

LEAK TESTING REQUIREMENTS

Prior to completing the conversion process, check for

gas leaks with soap and water solution at all plumbing

joints prior to placing this appliance into operation. It

f i r e - p a r t s . c o m

is recommended that all gas-plumbing joints, factory

installed and field installed are checked for leaks.

PILOT FLAME AND MAIN BURNER RELATIONSHIP VERIFICATION

Prior to completing the conversion process, the qualified service technician must, light

the pilot light and verify the relationship between the pilot light flames and the main burners. The pilot light flames directed

towards the propagation ports on the rear and front burner must overlap the propagation ports on the burners. The pilot

light flames must be a minimum of ¾" long and must overlap the propagation ports on both the rear and front burners as

shown in the diagram, below. Verify that the burner tubes ignite quickly and the burner flames propagate smoothly along

the entire length of the burners.

PILOT FLAME LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

If the pilot light flame length is too short and the system

does not maintain a standing pilot, a qualified installer

may increase the length of the pilot light flames to meet

the two requirements: Minimum pilot light length to

maintain a standing pilot light and the pilot light flames

must be long enough to overlap the front and rear

burner ports, 1 inch long minimum.
