Alternate Framing and Installation Method
1. Install flanges on side of fireplace as shown using holes on
side of firebox. See Figure 9. The middle pair of holes if for
the 1/2 inch non-combustible board provided with the unit.
2. Connect the side framing studs to the top stud as shown in
Figure 13. The channel of the studs should face inward.
The fireplace is designed to accept a 3/8-inch gas line for an
approved ventless 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.
A flex-line and shut-off valve have been provided. The gas shut-off
valve must be located outside of the unit in an accessible area.
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 LP fireplaces to reduce the
supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14" w.c. This is in addition
to the regulator fitted to the log set.
WARNING: CONNECTION DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED
L.P. TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION.
Install only a ANSI Z21.97.1/CSA 2.41 ventless log set into this
