Gas Connection - HearthStone AURORA ECLIPSE VF 8906 Series Owner's Manual

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc
GAS SUPPLY LINE
The supply line should exit the wall or floor that the fireplace will be installed on at the location
specified in diagram suggestion below. We suggest the installation of a shut-off valve in the supply
line between the wall and the connection to the fireplace. Your professional gas installer or local gas
company will determine the specific requirements for the gas supply line as the requirements may
vary in different locations. In every case, the installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

GAS CONNECTION

1. Verify that the gas type is correct for the fireplace by looking at the rating plate that is attached to the
fireplace. Note: The fireplace is shipped from the factory equipped to burn the fuel listed on the rating
plate.
2. The gas connection should now be made from the gas supply line to the inlet regulator on the fireplace.
Use only a qualified gas installer to make the connection.
3. The fireplace is shipped from the factory with a 3/8" tube OD (male) connection.
4. The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shut-off valve and a 1/8" NPT plugged tapping
upstream of the valve. We recommend installing a shut-off valve between the gas supply line where it
penetrates the wall and the inlet to the regulator on the fireplace. This will allow gas to be shut off to the
fireplace by simply pulling the fireplace a short distance away from the wall to gain access to the shut-off
valve.
5. The fireplace and its inlet regulator and main burner valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
6. The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the gas shut-off valve
