CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace involves
installing fireplace along with the corner, face, or
cabinet mantel with hearth base accessories against
a wall in your home. Follow the instructions in
this section to install the fireplace in this manner.
1. Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base, and
trim accessories. Assembly instructions are
included with each accessory.
2. When installing blower, install a properly
grounded, 120 volt three-prong electrical outlet
at fireplace location if an outlet is not there. If
possible, locate outlet so cabinet mantel will
cover it when installed (see Figure 9, page 11).
3. Install gas piping to fireplace location. This in-
stallation includes an approved flexible gas line
(if allowed by local codes) after the equipment
shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the
last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing
Gas Piping to Fireplace Location, page 13.
4. Place hearth base accessory against wall at instal-
lation location. Cut an access hole in hearth top
to run flexible gas line to fireplace (see Figure
9, page 11). Make sure to locate access hole so
cabinet mantel will cover it when installed. Note:
You can secure base to floor using wood screws.
Countersink screw heads and putty over.
