5.0 Installation Preparation
NOTE: This gas fireplace insert is approved for installa-
tion in masonry and factory-built solid fuel burning fire-
places.
ATTENTION: Any removed parts must be capable of re-
installation if this insert is ever removed. Removal of
rivets or screws is acceptable.
5.1 Inspect and Clean Existing Chimney
•
Verify existing chimney is constructed of non-
combustible material.
•
Verify existing chimney is clean and in good working
order. Clean existing chimney and fireplace to pre-
vent a creosote odor from entering the home.
•
Verify combustible mantel and sidewall clearances
comply with Section 8.1 Facing and Finishing Require-
ments on page 24.
•
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh,
and log grates may be removed from existing fire-
place before installing this gas fireplace insert.
5.2 Flue Damper
•
The fireplace flue damper can be fully blocked open,
or removed for installation of this gas fireplace insert.
Remove existing chimney cap distributor or the au-
thority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods.
5.3 Gas Line
•
A gas line must be able to be installed to the insert.
•
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s)
provided, an access hole of 1½" (37.5 mm) or less
may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of
the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner.
The access hole must be plugged with non-
combustible insulation after the gas supply line has
been installed.
•
Run gas line to the gas fireplace insert through the
gas line hole provided. The gas access hole is located
on the left side of the unit. Do not run gas line in a
manner that would obstruct fan operation.
•
If the gas fireplace insert is to be installed into mini-
mum opening dimensions, the gas line may need to
be run after appliance placement due to space limita-
tions.
