Finishing

All joints (top, bottom and sides), where the wall or decorative facing material meets the firebox surround should be sealed with a non-

combustible material.

Hearth extensions are recommended, but not required for these fireboxes.

The firebox is designed to accept a 3/8-inch gas line for an approved

vent-free gas logset. Have the line installed by a qualified service

person in accordance with all building codes. Consult local building

codes to properly size the gas supply line leading to the 3/8-inch

hook-up at the unit. The state of Massachusetts requires that a

flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.

Gas access holes are provided on both sides of the firebox.

See Figure 11.

When installing optional ceramic fiber side panels into firebox,

lay panel on a flat surface. Remove the gas line knockout (round

depression) in the appropriate side panel using a drill or utility knife.

Check gas type. Use only the gas type indicated on the gas log

set rating plate. If the gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas

supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model.

Always use an external regulator for all propane fireboxes to reduce

the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14 inch w.c. This is in

addition to the regulator fitted to the log set.

WARNING: CONNECTION DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED

PROPANE TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION.

Install only a ANSI Z21.11.2 vent-free burner and log set into this

firebox.
